Working on a Website.

Not over keen on it personally. but if u really like it go for it. Have you thought about making ur own theme

Yeah, for two minutes. I simply don't have the time to do it. Xtianw said he'd hook me up with someone he knows who can build one up for me. I'll have to check that out as well.

there are themes out there that are a framework for your own theme if you have little or no css experience...

when picking a theme choose one that's going to let you change a few things like colors, images, etc.. especially if you're going to be paying for one.

What do ya'll think:

Wordpress will allow for rapid development.
Quickly get up and running, with low maintenance and more time for Content...which is King.

I would suggest minimal header with a backdrop graphic and good contrast.

For example: and by no means a primary example...www.shockmansion.com





If you could drop in your name Kunal on the tag in the top right corner, bring up the content to within an inch or two(absolute maximum, 2 still eats up too much valuable real estate) from the top and drop in a 3 panel display (side by side) with Header/Footer, with a nice backdrop graphic...this would work nicely.

Here is an example of a three(six) panel with a header and footer, embedded audio, social syndication, mailing signup and profile login...and a hell of a lot of merchandising: www.Tiesto.com

Also, you must consider your profile for mobile devices..which, let's face it..is everyone.
So removing the flash will also lower the barrier while expanding your options and reach.

Wordpress is growing rapidly and provides an easily managed platform that presents options for the upgrade path.
These upgrades will also provide longevity, until you're ready for custom exposure (and the prices that are associated with design/maintenance).

These are all merely suggestions.

I'll help as often as time permits and I'm eager to see it develop.

Good stuff ahead Kunal


Oh and I found this on shockmansion.com website under random shit...

Drag and drop wordpress design template. Watch vid for more info

http://headwaythemes.com/

also loads of good themes here http://themeforest.net/category/wordpress

To narrow your search, look at portfolio themes, they tend to be the most suited imo

[MaxOne]

This theme is decent. Simple and clean

What max suggested?

I'm picking one up today - just trying to figure out which one now. Any other suggestions welcome. Buying it at 7pm pst - I guess though in all honesty I could pick any WordPress template and edit it myself, right?

Having your own web presence with 100% control is great - but definitely integrate your Facebook and Soundcloud in to the site as much as possible, and vice versa.

Yeah . I'll be putting up a "Like" / Facebook Page link on each page and what not. As for the Sound Cloud, i'm thinking about just having a link to it while having an embedded player on the site itself.
