Most of us really love music, and we follow certain bands religiously. I am like this, and there are a number of bands I have followed for decades. It pains me to see most of their sites as being functional but lacking any real graphic design or wow factor. Rush's website got a lift about a year ago and its pretty decent. However, Iron Maiden, Jethro Tull and other band's sites are really lacking in polish. They work, they provide the necessary data to followers, but if you were knew to them, you might think they take things as seriously as they could. Thats not the case musically, but first and ongoing impressions count for something. I've already done some behind-the-scenes need-to-be-a-member stuff for Iron Maiden that has turned out very well. Tull simply needs a whole new package in my opinion. Perhaps these older bands don't see the need... they have their throngs of loyal followers who simply appreciate there being a site to visit at all. That could be the case, but there are so many times when I will mock-up new site designs for lots of these bands that just get filed away. I'd love to implement some of my work... and I'd do it for free, just because these bands have given me so many great memories and listening enjoyment that its my way of saying thank you beyond purchasing their work and attending their shows. Rant is over, daydreaming suspended. Back to regular work.
