My first band site - The Websters - http://websters.org

Hey everyone,

My friends' band just launched their new site which I built for them using Drupal 6.x - Check it out at http://websters.org/

The band wanted something updated and clean so I decided to use a modified Amadou theme - http://drupal.org/project/amadou. I also wanted to provide detailed calendar events of all their shows and Google Maps integration. They also have original music and merchandise that they wanted to sell so I used the awesome Ubercart module for e-commerce - http://drupal.org/project/ubercart

The band also wanted their fans to be able to subscribe to newsletters and for them to manage their own newsletter subscriptions. Simplenews was used for this requirement - http://drupal.org/project/simplenews

I created special Views to display each individual audio track (which can be purchased separately) below the full CD, which can be purchased as a physical CD, or as a file download via the file capabilities of Ubercart.

swftools (http://drupal.org/project/swftools) and the 1 Pixel Out player are used to let fans play preview clips of the audio tracks.

Almost all of the special content (slideshows, Google Maps, calendar, galleries) was created with help from the great information and screencasts available at Drupal Therapy:
