As many of you may know im in a band called Void. Our website is located at http://www.voidonline.tk. At the moment it sucks because i have it in a simple swish sidebar and free asp hosting because its so much easier to update news and stuff like that on it.
I use swish because im lazy and i know how to use it alot. I have swishMax which im also decent with. I also have flash but dont know the ins and outs of it really.
I want to make a site in swish or flash that is quick loading. This i never seem to manage. Everything ends up too big file size wise. I have no idea how to compress graphics to relatively small sizes and still keep their quality.
Also i would like to keep the easy updateability of the current site. Like a news section in asp or php. I am familiar with asp and access but as much php or mysql. Especially not mysql. I would liek to aviod php and use asp, but im not sure how to cross connect between asp and swish.
Anyone got any ideas ? Im sick of the new site. Its too boring. I have until the start of March to finish and release a new site to coincide with our debut e.p.
Thanks in advance,
Chris Traverse
