Warm, inviting design supported with subtle Flash animations. Highly usable thanks to the simple page layout and wide margins.

Sarahfan.com is, in my opinion, absolutely the best Sarah McLachlan site on the Internet! It uses the page design that is the internet standard for tasteful sites, the one where the sidebar that lists most of the site's pages is on every page; you can usually find what you're looking for very quickly. The colors are very warm, sometimes annoyingly so, but it just makes the site look more inviting. The Flash animations are absolutely fantastic, letting you listen to maybe twenty seconds of selected sarah songs on each page, or having some of the most beautiful lyrics expand, or flow across a bar, or just having words that change.

Plus, there are interactive sections where you can talk with other Sarah fans, or describe things like your first Sarah McLachlan experience. The best part is that Ms. Rohner put her personal comments on each page, complete with smilies, like an email or a note to a personal friend of hers, and there are several invitations to email her across the site. Overall, I think that www.sarahfan.com is a wonderful site.

This site design is just professional. It's able to combine everything you want to see with a design true to its subject matter, which is not an easy task at all.

Gotta love the smooth flash animation...
