Appeal for Donations – Progress Update

Dear music lovers and users of our website!

On February 21st of this year we sent you an urgent appeal to raise money to finance the new COVER.INFO website. Today it is now time to take stock.

Donations totaling €9,193 have been received in our association's account so far, €7,000 of which came from the editorial team. The donations of €2,193 from the user community came mostly from Germany, Austria but also from Switzerland and Belgium.

With the money we had available at the beginning of the year and all the donations, we now have just over €13,000 available for the project – and the total €17,500 needed is within reach!

We still need €4,500, so we are asking you once again to look in your wallets and send us more donations. We are so optimistic that we want to commission the start of programming at the end of May.

That is how the new site should look like:

Current draft of the new homepage (with exemplary texts)

A multi-column layout of the relationships between songs on the Song Page provides greater clarity. In this example (with fictitious dates and texts!) you can also go to the left and display the list of initial songs. The language of the songs now has a fixed place in the view.

Draft layout of the list of new entries (with fictitious data). Author information available in the database can be switched on in such list views – i. e. also in search results – so that the song page no longer needs to be opened for this.
