Subject: Point Blank FM

Hey guys! I've been listening to Point Blank ever since I found you whilst surfing for some decent pirate stuff on the weekend. Now I listen to you as much as I can! I'm listening now, Saturday night, staying in to save a few bob for New Years Eve. But I'm having my own party right here in my living room to these great hard house tunes. I'm right in the mood to go out now...Instead I'll sit here and design websites. That's what I'm paid for and the cash is needed to club...

I always seem to flick to Point Blank and the music is perfect for the moment...may Point Blank live long.

Any idea about putting out a CD of different styles, i.e. one for Friday night, one for Sunday morning? That'd be cool. Sell from the site, sell from your gigs! Just a thought, it's my job to come up with them!

Do you have a playlist anywhere, so I can go out and buy/ download these tracks? My iPod is crying out for hard house and trance!

Cheers guys! Keep it up!

Mark.

Nice thought, there are lots of things you could do with this website but as PB seem to be a non profit organisation is it worth expanding.

As a web designer you should realise they could inclue RAM files of DJ shows and stream them. But this would take a strain on their resources if things get real busy. Not only would you need someone to encode the files and upload them, you would also prob have a sizzling server if you had 100,s of people logging on and downloading.

To sell merchandise you would need a cart solution such as e-trolley or actinic. Or you could go down the custom route and get someone to create an ASP or PHP solution using an Access or SQL database. Again they would then have to prob upgrade their hosting to accomodate the above.

There best bet would prob to use a free Nochex cart and then accept money via the Nochex system.

When you talk about seeing dj set listings what could be done is simply create a small ms access database with all the relevant information and the present it to the user when they click on a dj name.

If your no good at hand coding then a good book on DW Ultra Dev or DW MX and MS Access will do the job. Both Ultra Dev and MX can hook up to a recordset nicely and then its just a case of dropping a few server behaviours in. ASP/VBScript is the best format.

There is so much you can do, but as they are not legal would it be worth it. This present format seems to be working.

There is enough know how to make PB,s website one of the best around as im sure you are probably aware.

When they are legal ask them for a position lol in house designer. I know what you are saying it all good in thought.

PS you site page dosnt fully fit in 800x600

http://www.clubberholic.com/boxedin/

the bottom goes off the screen and you cannot see the wording. Just a case of reducing your main content table a few pxs.

Or cut the logo off the top and move everything up. Tested it both in AOL Browser and IE.

Peace

Peace

What are you after Matt do you have an initial design in mind?

Also what server are you on? Linux/Windows

I can work in HTML/ASP Flash/Photoshop/Fireworks/SQL/Access/Visual Basic.

In other words a firing website. Remember presentation is not always the key to a good site. Its the functionality defined through the navigation and business rules that achieve that.

Make sure you site is user friendly and the the users can get around with ease. Lay your foundations then add the bricks put on the roof and lastly add the windows.

I perosnally dont like sites made in Flash as they seem to be user unfriendly and like the program Flash. Stick simple but effective.

If u need a redisgn let me know and I,ll take a look for you.
