Liven up web site

CTS

I have created a site for my business that includes about 6 pages most of
which i am happy with. they include flash banners and so on but although I
like them the site seems plain without background music which most people do
not like. I was looking for a way to have the same song play uninterupted
throughout the whole site, and also to have a mute option for the background
music. Is there anything I can do to add pizzaz to my site without background
music. maybe sounds etc. or something interactive. I don't want to redo the
entire site or use frames i just want to keep someone on may page.

What makes you think music will keep someone on your site? When you surf
the web, if background music isn't available, does that encourage you to
leave the site?

You said: "background music which most people don't like"....now you want to
put music on to run continuously until they turn it off? What's the
difference? In my experience, those who come to a site with unnecessary
music in the background will leave it immediately before even finding out if
they can turn it off.

"Pizazz" is all about helpful, meaningful content, both written and graphic.
That, not bells and whistles, will keep someone on your page.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear. I had initially wanted background music yet saw
that most people don't like it so I was looking for other suggestions. my
site is setup to be helpful and informative. It has good graphics yet i feel
the text areas need something. I'm not sure maybe a rollover effect (which
i'm trying to figure out how to do for an individual selection of text that
isn't neccesarily a hyperlink I just wan't it to change font on mouse over
and change back on mouse out, but when i get it to work the all the text in
that cell does the behavior). Any ideas on how to do behaviors just for
selected text or any onther ideas on giving my text areas more life would be
appreciated

Why not post the URL for people to make suggestions (you'll most likely get
both neg & pos ones)
