Re: Music on Business Sites

Hi,

I'm not so very fond of background music on a site, myself, at least if it starts automatically.

If your client wants music on the site, it's his/her business. You can tell your opinion about it, but he/she is the one who makes the decision. But try at least to persuade him/her to have the music off at the beginning, otherwise I (and many more with me) will hit the back button in record time.

If the site is of the type where you stay long on a page, the music can have some function, but if you jump from one page to another every ten seconds, it's no use to 'burden' it with music.

You are not crazy,
Sixten
