Yes, thanks!
I was going to have these areas:
- Upcoming Events,
- Forums,
- Guestbook, [maybe a forum thread?]
- Member Pages [free passes etc...],
- Photo Album (if I get around to taking Pix)
And a news reel with contact panel etc...

I would recommend you do both - have
a standards compliant accessable site, but include an interactive area.
A xhtml/css &
php/mysql "photobook" with the club at certian nights - preferably the
peak holiday periods.
Give them the best of both worlds. a
quick loading site with an area where they can have alot more
interactive with the site. A
guestbook would be excellent aswell. runnnig off a db accessed both by
the interactive area and the xhtml css area.

[WSG] Standards Compliance -vs- User Enjoyment
Hey list,
I have something which has been a major topic of discussion between a
friend and I.
I am currently working on a promotions website - promoting for Sydney
Nightclubs (R&B Scene)
To knuckle down and get to the point - Do I use webstandards and
efficent coding to make the website...
Or do I use Flash, Verbose Table Layouts, Lots of Images &
Animations etc... To get people interested.
Really it is a question of - do I make the website for viewer
enjoyment, or for the widest viewer spectrum.
I am not sure if many of you would be in the same situation, but I can
imagine it has come up at least once with us all before.
Whether its a news website, or a Hosting companies website...
My situation is a very sticky one - Clubbers dont want web standards,
they want to see - what they can't have - lots of pictures help, and
sounds are good (ambient music, on/off switch of course).
My website hasn't begun yet, although I have some rough ideas, one
which my friend came up with:
http://www.equicom.net/chris/test.html
I think its great, doesnt use flash or anything.
It was an eye opener thinking it was as simple as it was.
It works in FireFox (exept sound) which is good...
But the fact that it looks good with such a simply design.
What are your opinions - and can you lend me any assistance.
Web Standars are very important to me, and I would much rather use
standards compliant code, than make 10 extra people per 100 happy
because there is a boxed layout (like the demo website)...
I could code that in CSS, but it wouldn't be as solid as it is with
Tables.
Anyway!
Let me know what you all think!
Cheers!
Chris Stratford.
