I’ve been working on a site for my friend Karim’s band Kif-Kif. Check it out at http://kifkif.fft.googlepages.com. I’ve spent some time using Javascript to make it a bit more like a “media” website. It’s all one page (with hidden div’s) so that when you click the links the music keeps playing. I also spent a bit of time using a pure CSS layout (inline) instead of tables.
My biggest issue was load time, so I stuck the loading of some of the pictures in innerHtml functions fired after onLoad . This means that you can click around while the pictures load in the background via javascript. I included a google Video Bar with a search for 2 videos that I made for Karim, and it seems to work pretty well. I’d love to have some time to make some more vids…
