Munich Syndrome began as a stark electronic music project. The earliest tracks were minimal with gothic electro overtones. As the music evolved, early versions and demos were posted on various music websites. As more songs were posted and the need to network easily grew, the first website was created. A simple six-page site with an About page, News, a page for the first release, Sensual Ambience, a page for the forthcoming project Electro (Electro Pop when released), a page with shopping links, and a contact page was created.


While still promoting the debut album on the front page, the next project, Electro Pop, was moving along and the design and layout of the website evolved to reflect the look of the upcoming release. This iteration of the website included merchandise and clothing links.

The next phase of Munich Syndrome was ushered in with the release of its second album, Electro Pop. A new direction hinted at on the last few songs from Sensual Ambience, the new album was clearly stated in the title: electro and pop. As the direction shifted, so did the art, and the next version of the website was reflected in the artwork, placing the new album front and center. The site increased in size to encompass links to the various social media websites now affiliated with and along with merchandise, clothing and a music store.


Electro Pop propelled Munich Syndrome to an entirely new and expanded audience. The next release, Electronic Ecstasy, built upon the electro pop foundation of its predecessor exploring the "pop" side of electro further. The next iteration of the website put Electronic Ecstasy front and center, but also now featured the previous two releases as well as the growing merchandise and clothing section.



The next phase of Munich Syndrome completely embraced the robotic nature of the vocoder that resulted in their fourth album(s) Robotika and Robotika (Expanded). A starker offering than previous releases Robotika offers a thematically tied narrative about identity and the increasingly blurred lines of where mankind, business, and technology intersect. This also ushered in more multi-media. Videos were made extrapolating the "Munich Man" from the covers of the albums into to a virtual 3-D world and is now featured front and center. With the growing list of social media now being more important than ever, links to the top 12 sites Munich Syndrome is involved in are always easily accessible in the top navigation as are direct links to each of the albums.


The navigation was set to put the albums — primary commerce drivers — at the very top, the albums. Secondary navigation runs down the left-hand side with the next items of importance. These two navigational features are constant and accessible on every page on the site. The albums run chronologically from left to right, starting with the first album, Sensual Ambience.



Each album page contains the technical information of the release, album art, links to purchase the album, as well as reviews and related video content. This is a basic template used for all the ablums, the next one being Electro Pop.



The News page leads the secondary navigation. New releases, video updates, and new merchandise in the shop go onto this page.

The Munich Syndrome Merchandise page is now handled entirely by third-party-vendor Cafe Press. The link will open a new window with the Munich Syndrome branded merchandise. All transactions are handled by Cafe Press elminiating the need for payment processing on the site.

The Video page contains links to Munich Syndrome's Video Channel at YouTube. YouTube has become an increasingly important viral tool and an increasingly large number of people use to find new music.

The Message Board page is a moderated forum where visitors can post comments. As would be assumed a lot of people try to post spam or nonsensical input, but those are reviewed and no live postings can go up unmoderated. This is the second most visited and linked to page on the website.

The Links page is very direct. Links to various places on the web Munich Syndrome can be found, as well as vendors or partner sites.

The Contact page is a web form that allows people to send an inquiry even if they're not on a machine where they have access to their email. The form's options allow people to parse the intent of the inquiry based on music sales, licensing, merchandise, promotion, press, contacting me directly, or just a general inquiry. Using a verifcation code doesn't remove all spam, but it helps cut down the volume.

The About page details the general history and evolution of Munich Syndrome. The origins of the studio, style of music, and the evolution of the logo are discussed.

The Press page is a central location linking to sub-pages with interviews and will be expanded to include reviews.

The Interview pages are based on a template and will include any media when applicable.
