First Base Music
First Base Music is a new generation of record label. Offering a free distribution channel for independent artists including online sales, with value add services like comprehensive online distribution and agent services, First Base Music is at the leading edge of community building independent music sites in Australia.
This website is a great example of the benefits of using Joomla as a base architecture to develop complex web applications. Joomla takes care of the basics such as user access control for registered users, member forum, blog, live chat, banner advertising and newsletter subscription. Blacklight has developed extensive custom software to manage uploading of music, online previews of music and online sales, music charts ranking, FBM radio and more.
The result is a powerful community driven music site that cost far less to develop, because of the leverage of open source.
Site credits: blacklight did all graphic design, Joomla application development, flash and mobile content development.
