Music Players on Websites...Yay or Nay

Okay friends, what is your opinion to this statement? Should there be music players on websites or not? Well the answer could go both ways. For instance, you have to look at what kind of website you are going to create. One that is fun and personal, or one that is more professional and serves a direct purpose you are trying to fulfill. Let's take a look at each of these kinds of websites more in-depth.

Fun and Personal

First, if you are wanting to make a fun and personal site, whether it be a personal blog or diary of some sort, then you can possibly have a music player playing some of your favorite music. You can have it in a section called "My Favs" or somewhat along those lines. This would give people a brief understanding of what kind of a person you are.

Professional

Well if you are wanting a more professional site, one that attracts potential clients, then you don't want to have music players on your website. When potential clients are looking for a service that they are in need of, they search for that service. If they come across your site and click on it, do you want music to play? Well no! When a client is in search for something and they come upon a site, they are looking for that exact service they need and having music start playing is just a "turn off" and most likely will cause them to hit that back button.

To Wrap Things Up

So, having music players on a website depends on what kind of website you are wanting. If you are wanting a more fun and personal website, then sure having a music player if okay. But if you are going to have a website that is professional and serves a specific purpose or service that you are providing, having a music player is a BIG no no! This will only cause distraction to the possible client and cause them to hit the back button. ~ Kyle Reddoch
