Very good advice, and yeah, I've noticed this too. I hate flash intros. I know NO ONE who doesn't click "skip intro," except maybe web designers. But heck, I do it too. By the way I linked this on my site. IM me sometime, yo. I miss talking to ya.

Yay TT! I struggle with bands on this issue daily! There seems to be a mentality that the "fancier" and/or most bells and whistles will get them more bookings. Nope. I like 'em clean, easy to navigate, with clear contact, tour and bio information. Just that simple. Nice article, I'll get it posted on my site and THANKS! Cindy

interesting... it's true, though. If i didn't have to use dial-up at home it's not something i'd ever think about. humans in general are like that. peace.

Meg Hourihan wrote about that recently:

Lately I've grown lazy around the issue of page size and images. When designing something for a client or posting a picture to my own web site, I'd often think to myself, "everyone I know has a high-speed connection now-a-days" and with little more than a cursory glance at the file size, I'd post or design in happy, dial-upless oblivion. Advertisement Oh what a spoiled fool I'd become. It's no longer true that everyone I know has a high-speed connection, for I found myself sitting at the end of painfully slow and expensive dial-up connection in Paris, France.
