I've been thinking lately of a good website idea and I think I've got a pretty good one. I was thinking of designing a website dedicated to smaller less known bands. I think it would be a good way to get their music heard, by having a one stop site to listen to all kinds of music from the bands that haven't gotten big YET.
Some ideas I've been throwing around have been having a bios section of each band with a link to their official band webpage and possibly any other pages related to the band. Also, a link to download some of their music. One last thing would a some sort of weekly HOT list swapping out different bands that have been getting attention or are releasing new albums and stuff. Also, there would have to be a forum so all you guys could talk about the latest with the bands you love.
Granted I'm not the most skilled person when it comes to making websites, I think I might could do this with my free time. The only problem is figuring out how to make forums and databases for the music and space to put all the music, but hopefully I'll come across some money and invest in this little project of mine.
Anyways, this is just an idea I've been pondering and I wanted to know what some of you guys and girls thought about it. Is it worthwhile? All I'm aiming to do is to give some of the lesser known bands the attention they deserve!!! I think if a website like this got popular it would generate bigger fan bases for the bands, but again this is all my opinion. Yours would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read over all this and feel free to post your opinion.
Also, I'm sure there probably are some websites like this so if any of you know any similar to what I'm proposing I would appreciate it if you could post a link to them. Thanks again.
This is a quote from myself on another board I was on, but I was also wondering what some of you guys thought about it? Especially some of the more experienced programmers and website builders here (Julio especially ). Would this be too big of a project to undertake and if not where are some places I can know to learn how to do some of the mentioned ideas?
Also, what programs would be best to do something like this? As you can probably see I'm new at this so any ideas you guys can offer would be GREAT!!!
