Live Client: Influencial Websites

I have noticed the lack of vintage clothing shops with websites, especially in Nottingham. In fact none of the Nottingham based vintage clothing shops have an online presence and rely on feedback websites such as trustedplaces.com for advertisement. Cow, who are Wild Clothing's main competitor, have been in the process getting a website up and running since they opened. With this in mind I think Wild Clothing could benefit a lot especially as their main target audience spend a lot of their time online.
Beyond Retro are a vintage clothing brand from Sweden. Their website incorporates sound and flash animation in a novel and stylish way. Although the first few pages are flash, they have alternative HTML versions and the rest of the site is HTML. This is done very smoothly and is a simple way of getting round all the issues that effect your SEO ranking.

Since I came across Nevo's portfolio website, I have wanted to incorporate sound on a website. From both websites it seems best used in small doses and used effectively it can prolong interest, increasing time spent on site.
