The XL site is heinous! You get to all of the different artists pages by hovering over their name. Which then takes you to basically exactly the same page in a different colour with a few links at the bottom. Then news for which you can scroll down forever. The band names would ahve worked much better in a list and generally I think that is what is there is still relevant, all information should be able to be viewed from the page that appears without scrolling (unless it is old news etc).
Both of these are kind of similar. They work fine But they don't look that interesting. Also there is so much information I'm not really sure what to look at.
Page for tape label 'Fuck it Tapes". A lot of tape labels seem to have really simple pages, I guess because it is just a way to have an internet search presence and to release news easily. Also the whole d.i.y. ethic of tape labels, don't really lend themselves to extensively considered aesthetics, perhaps because this sets them apart? or seems to make it seem like a professional business? I don't know.
The Moshi Moshi site is really simple. I quite like the way the side bar fades out. And I can deal with the monotone colours when the colour images are there on the front page.
