Here's a real rough test:
I'm thinking that it needs some kind of "musical" graphics though. I'll probably end up replacing those section titles (with King going nuts) to something more musical. As cool as King is, it just doesn't make sense to have him.
Either way, I plan on using section titles, much like those King ones, for all of the pages.
Here's my idea for the 3 pages that the site has:
MAIN (a.k.a. Home, About, The Project etc... pick one):
I think that introductory part is great, but it's super long. People should be able to read a short summary at the top in order to understand what the heck the site is about. That current beginning part could be a funny "history" section, but I think there should be a more concise "about" section before that.
I think the first page should be divided up something like this:
1a) ABOUT - Welcomes the viewer and tells them what they're looking at (a Cave Story Remix Project of the original music).
1b) ABOUT HISTORY - Continues on with that long awesome story.
2) Other Information - Tells about the project release date, etc.
THE PEOPLE (a.k.a. Who's Responsible For This?, The Creators, The Team etc... pick one):
This is already set up really nicely. It just needs all the people put in and I would make the section titles for them "The Mixers (or Artists)" and "The Affiliated". Besides that, the layout is fine.
DOWNLOADS (a.k.a. The Product, The Music, etc... pick one):
This page is the one that really needs work. I'm thinking we should follow the same idea as the original CSRP layout. Pretty easy.
At the top of the page will be a download link (with possible mirrors) that downloads the entire project (music + album art). Below that link will be links for each album (music + art). That takes care of any bulk download stuff.
Below those links, it will look very much like the CSRP download page layout.
I'll separate each album by using a section title of the name of the album (i.e. Echoes in the Dark). Underneath that will be the album art, front and back. Underneath the art will be a table with the Artist, Track Name, and Original Track(s). Just like the CSRP download page.
Sound good to you?
We could also add in a "Links" section somewhere that has the link to our forum thread, the original CSRP website, or any other websites we think would be fitting for whatever reason.
