Design of Weborama 2.0

The new Weborama is all about the music.

Sections

Weborama’s users listen to music, read about it in dedicated blogs and get informed about upcoming concerts:

The player

One of Weborama’s main innovations is the inline player. A regular link to any song on the website, like Summertime, plays right in the text.

The main player sticks to the top of the page, like it used to be in the first version. Unlike most software players, its interface is unambiguous: the button tells exactly whether a song is playing or not. Starting with the new Weborama, we only use unambiguous players:

П for Pop Р for Rock Х for Hip-hop М for Heavy Metal д for Jazz Я for Japanese
music Р for Reggae Т for Dance Music Р for Russian
