Amen to the music issue. Even if I am not in a public place, that is one thing that bugs me since I normally am playing music or watching tv when I am online.

Another issue with flash sites… So many of them take forever to load or never do. I have lost count how many sites I have looked at where I sit waiting for so long, that I just leave the site. In some cases, after a certain point, the images just don’t load. Not customer friendly!

Did those visitors turn into customers or were they just browsing?

The funny thing about music on my website is that I took it off for around a month and had a higher bounce rate, less viewed pages, and less time spent on the pages when the music was off. They have the option to turn it off, but I will be doing a survey of clients who contact me to see what they think. I also have both flash and html on my site so they can chose which they want to view. Thanks, Karen

Music, when it is viewer controlled from the start, is completely fine.

I 100% agree. I hate auto playing music. And it’s even worse when you can’t find where to stop it.

I’ve seen wedding photographers who have a song you can choose to play when you read a specific blog post. That seems to work well.

I think music might be one of the most overlooked, or least thought about, issue.

I have never used either but from what I hear Joomla is quite popular.

Would you recommend using joomla or drupal?
