Our new site design is extremely user-friendly. Whether in frames (recommended) or non-frames mode, you can easily navigate the pages of Ultimate Online Music to find what you're looking for . . . and find it fast. We've also kept the bells and whistles to a minimum in order to speed the page-loading process. Finally, we have placed links to all of the major sections at the bottom of each page.
You will notice that aside from the pages that are specific to this website (this page, for instance), we essentially cover two types of information.
The first involves a hierachical structure based on musical genre. By surfing the genre pages (Classical, Jazz, etc.), you can locate information and links that are specific to that style of music. Each of the genre entry pages also includes a group and artist list (for that genre) which continues to grow as visitors provide new artists or inform us of those we've missed. As we continue to grow, you will notice that more and more of these will be in the form of links which point to either separate UOM feature pages or to the official websites for the particular artist or group. At this point, things can get a little crazy as we link to pages that are built and maintained by a wide variety of sources. But in our opinion, this just makes it all the more interesting in that we effectively create a new kind of website, where both content and character are multiplied.
The second area deals with musical items of a more general nature. Among other things, this includes pages for such genre-independent topics as Sheet Music, Music Equipment and Classified Ads. Owing little to any particular style, each of these sections stands on its own merits.
