Alishkah Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 So, I'm thinking of making my own website. It will be for Melbourne musicians (I might branch it to other places if it works out) where I'll basically be listing all Melbourne artists so when people are looking for other acts they don't have to ask around or sift through multiple sights (facebook/myspace/reverbnation etc) Maybe, I'll even post updates and stuff for cd / ep release and other news. I'll also categorize artists so if you want a certain genre it's easier to find. This may sound lame but opinions? Yay or nay? Also, If anyone is willing to help, Say with artwork or even coding, That would be super sweet. But yeah, If anyone thinks I should go ahead with this, Do say! Even though it may not be in your area, I just want to know if it may be worth all the time I'll be putting into making it before it goes live even though I'm not that great at css/html I know basic stuff so it won't look that bad. karmacow, Rebecca~ and Mouseykins 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazy_cat_luv_bb Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It will defintely be a yay if you have a lot of free times and have the patient and inspiration to popularize it to your community :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimphal Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I would definitely say yay! Even just the amount you will learn through doing it is enough of a motivation, but it also has the potential of being useful, so definitely win-win :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mouseykins Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I think that's an awesome idea and one thing you can add later on is Tour Dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alishkah Posted January 13, 2013 Author Share Posted January 13, 2013 I think that's an awesome idea and one thing you can add later on is Tour Dates. Yeah, I was thinking that. And maybe if the site becomes successful making a zine (self made magazine) to hand out on the street full of interviews and such. -------- I'm glad that people approve. Thanks guys. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xepha Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 One of my friend is running a similar website called 514blog. (It's about music and fashion, in a promotional way.) If music is your passion and you have time to research your topic, I'm sure it can be helpful to people in your area. :) So go ahead and jump in the train! You might want to run it with a kind of content management system / database to make it easier on updates too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadey Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Definitely, it sounds like a great idea. It's always great to have everything in the one place. It would be awesome if someone would do that for Sydney gigs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alishkah Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Definitely, it sounds like a great idea. It's always great to have everything in the one place. It would be awesome if someone would do that for Sydney gigs! I was already thinking if the Melbourne one becomes successful to always do the same for other cities such as Sydney. :) But that would be a long while away. Haha If anyone wants to see what I've come up with so far: fillthegapact.com Suggestions / criticism is welcome since it's the first site I've ever made.
