Job: Koji Hayama's discography isn't quite as large as that of the previous two composers, and in fact only has one album (the soundtrack to Squaresoft's Front Mission 3) that would be recognizable to most English-speaking fans. Never the less, I consider this site to be the best of the composer sites I've done. Relying almost entirely on CSS for object positioning and size, it has much more modern underpinnings than your common "one big table" website, while still being as organized as tables.

The navigation used a near-identical style to Ayako Saso's site, though this time with a spiffy gold gradient background for a rollover effect, which I'm rather fond of. The discography was also an interesting departure, as it had to be made in a way that each album's details displayed in a pop-up window. Taking it a step farther, I added navigation to the window, so people wouldn't have to keep closing it and clicking on the next album.
