Charon

Website history 1998-2005

Charon v1 - 1998

Yes you can laugh now :) This is the first version of Charon homepage made in 1998. There was some elements from "Sorrowburn" booklet used but mainly layout was based on band pictures and logo.

Charon v2 - 1998

I was tired soon for previous layout and made new layout same year. This time layout theme was based more on "Sorrowburn" album booklet and more content was added to the site.

Charon v3 - 2000

This is the third version and made in 2000 when Charon released "Tearstained". Layout didn't base much on "Tearstained" cover or booklet, mostly there was used promo pics as you can see. By the way if you haven't seen original version of "Tearstained" cover, click here (released by Diehard Music). Forum and Guestbook were added to the site.

Charon v4 - 2000

Soon after "Tearstained" was released Charon made new record deal with Spinefarm records. "Tearstained" was released by Spinefarm in Finland with new cover art. I made also new layout for the site based lightly on new "Tearstained" cover art.

Charon v5 - 2002

I made this layout in 2002 before "Downhearted" was released. Layout was not based on cover art. Partly CMS (Content management system) was added to the site so that band could add news, gigs and studio reports to the site by themselves.

Charon v6 - 2003

Charon released their fourth album "The Dying Daylights" in 2003. Site was totally redesigned and it was based on album cover. Gallery was also updated so that now band could add pictures to the gallery by themselves.

Charon v7 - 2005

...and this is where we have come today. This layout was made in 2005 and is based on "Songs for the Sinners" album cover. If you want to see more or want to check out more info about Charon, check out the site at www.charon.cjb.net.
