I have a friend who has hired me as a consultant for his website. His front page is pathetic and yet has a high degree of attitude. He has a fairly small but growing and yet interesting group of people on his forum.
Because of contacts, I have the opportunity to get a record company to throw some free promotion his way although it seems like there isn't a real connect there because it isn't a real connect to music although they all like good rock and some rap. The record company is also willing to throw all kinds of free promo stuff at us... CD's, t-shirt's, all kinds of promo stuff, etc. So I GOT TO figure a way to work this in.
The record company contacts ask nothing in return because one of the forum moderators is a childhood friend with a VP at the record company.
The owner wants to let his forum people have it all but I say he needs to develop the front page into something respectable and he agrees. I think I will end up upgrading his website frontpage tomorrow because even in it's undeveloped condition this site looks and smells like something that will be a player and I want to be connected with something good at the ground level.
I have been given free reign over the front page content so it's my fault if it looks crappy. 
Please pummel me with your opinions. This website I am referring to will never be a competitor against AT so there is no worry there.
Thanks in advance for advice and opinions.
