Okay, so what if there is a splash page involved? (Apparently splash pages are really old fashioned?) And it includes a short picture slide show, should there be music just there? Of course there is a link at the bottom saying SKIP INTRO.
Example:
http://www.aphiucla.com/
(This was the first one I could find not using Flash)
I know pnms like that cutesy stuff (I know I did as one!) and so just a bit of music there.
What I've found from the other thread of "Best Chapter Websites" is everyone thought the websites w/ music was cute, but I guess that was just the design, etc.
I'll definitely keep that in mind about the captions,etc.
