Hi ,

Being a die hard Trance fan and webdesigner rolled into one I decided to spend some evenings on an ASOT400 website.
Trance is such a thankfull subject to create websites and eyecandy that it's just a break from my daily webdesign work.

Hope you all like it. Let me know what you think.
I'll add more info as we progress ...
If you have ideas (contentwise) be sure to let me know here.

Oh yeah , turn your speakers up
and erm , if you see errors or glitches , let me know too ... as I said ... made this in a few dozen hours ... possible that I missed some stuff.

SO ... UNOFFICIAL ASOT400 FANSITE : http://www.tranceconnect.com

Wolfie

@ Top : It's pause, not pauze

Really good production mate, I like it alot!

lol I always screw that up ... it's Pauze in my language ...
changing that now ...
thanx for comment

PS.: always loved your sig banner

Thanks alot

What program did you used for creating the website? I'm really bad when it comes to animation and coding =(

photoshop and flash CS3 (actionscript 2) (and then Dreamweaver for the tiny bit of HTML)

Alright thanks ^^ Currently learning AS3 but I have an hard time with it XD

yeah , keep at it.
It's just a few months longer that I can allow myself to do everything in AS2 ... I'm gonna have to switch eventually ...

that is pretty freaking fantastic...if i may say so myself....great job!

mucho gracias señor so glad you like it

i believe its Señorita....lol

awesome design man

damn that's good, congrats...uhm..I guess I like it more then the official site

lol, yeah , I feel llike armin (and trance) deserves all the eyecandy available in the world
I just love (euphoric) trance sooooo damn much, I hope that shows in my designs

Wow dude that looks bloody awesome. Makes the official site look a bit outdated tbh!

Really great job with the website !!!

Wowww.. cool site You've done a great job

looks cool! Well done:)

Awesome website man. Thank you!

thanx guys !
was fun makin' it ... hope armin likes it too

i personally think they should hire you as their web designer

Nice ...

Really great work mate.

for once he would finish the Armin's website

yeah , not sure why they don't finish it ... Armin deserves a banging website

Fair play, this is really good and you have some amazing talent!

really nice job!

thanx , I'll tell my boss so I can get a raise ...
In fact , I would love it if someone would take over the hosting so I can add video and some other bandwidth heavy stuff into the mix... armaadaaaaaa , where are you

Looks really nice, good job man !

Awesome idea mate like the very simple layout and navigation with working links

Super duper dude!

Very nicely done indeed

Unfortunately it's all in Flash. Don't get me wrong, I think Flash is awesome but the trend in international high traffic websites is moving away from using Flash, since it requires more bandwith than plain ole html (which is not available everywhere) and the increasing amount of combinations of different webbrowsers, versions, devices (smartphones, tv's) and operating systems (windows/linux/mac) makes flawless execution on the client device harder and harder.

Just look at Armin's new site: the one thing that is giving users all over the world problems in using it is that little Flash animation in the background.

That website is not able to browse normal with a older PC

This website for ASOT400 do not have much problems on my older PC

It's not able to browse normally with any pc, mac or browser. Gives problems on my Mac, laptop and pc at work.

I think the problems are actually caused by the Javascript that they use in the background to detect and comply with different kinds of browsers and platforms. That is why webdevelopers tend to go back to plane and simple W3C compliant html and stop using all kinds of tricky components like Flash objects.

Another option would be to build the entire site in Flash (like Wolfie did) and either accept that not all devices are able to display it and/or build a 2nd "simple html" version of the site for those unfortunate users.

Like Paul van Dyk has done. Just check it out. It really puts Armin's site to shame.

Damn that looks awesome, never seen it before!

bravo its coll 

thanx all for the proverbial flowers
Ericc B , your comments are all legit.

Using Flash as your only technology to deliver your webcontent is a hard choice to make and has everything to do with the audience you are targetting , the product you are selling and also the timeframe we're in.

in a year or two every website will probably HAVE to have a simple HTML W3C compliant alternative for all those other devices that will (and have) become common goods in every day life.

Flash is such an amazing tool (toy) for designers to go all the way , anything is possible once the flash plugin is fired up ... that's the beauty of it.
Also for trance dj's, party's etc ... people just expect eyecandy (and their info to be presented in a user friendly way) ... and there's the balance we have to take into account ... useability vs eyecandy ... not easy

Paul van Dyk is one of the best I have seen of a DJ. Also liek the fact that you can see flyers from previous events. Its just really wel done.

German precision

Exactly....just like their cars

i like both websites, but the armin page has some faults, sometimes links on the starting page cant be read.

awesome work mate!

congrats man! it's very professional. seems like an official one... great

incredible work wow

mucho gracias todo ! or something that sounds spanish-ish
the event is gonna be banging (just look at the line-up) ... so it deserves a banging website imho

Its good but you should get rid of the audio stream and have either an ambience noise in the background or nothing at all.

awesome job

should you just shut up this time maybe........u have to learn to appreciate ppls work.......and this one is 10/10 working and looking

He was not talking about the ASOT 400 site

wow.............. it's an awesome website

i like the music intro "Summerbreeze" and the "ting-ting"t:rolleyes:

great work!

That was sick. Really nice work there mate.... your dedication will not go unrecognized. Picked a good episode too. Mad props
