There are a lot of layout errors and many of the basics yet unaddressed.
I am not about to go further.......I am sure my esteemed peers will venture forth to offer their insight as I cannot.

Well, a little busy......part of what Vasili meant about layout I suppose. Yellow text hard to read and maybe a little larger font. What is with the counter, wow! You have some good ideas just keep working 'til u find what works for u.

Hi Dave,

I see youve put a lot of work into your site, my son was into all that boom boom music as I call it lol so I know where your going with the bright colours, glow sticks, body lights, neon flashing strobe thingys and all that, but you have to be a bit careful when it comes to what colour text you choose and on what background as it becomes very hard on the eyes to read, when its bright on bright , usually primary colours, also the "Advertise here" text on each side of the silver/grey tube shapes, look messy cos thier overlapping other things, do you really need them? agree that you dont need that counter to, to much flash is distracting.

Overall youve done a great job ...well done :o)

-Too busy,
-Looks psychedelic, users may not stay on that page for too long.
-For the true hardcore musician ? term is confusing.
-Some of your images are ***** others are out of focus.
-Read both posts, above, on counters: "old" . get more info from your Cpanel awstats.

Good luck

aye as soon as i went to site i left too psychedelic too much going on

Give consideration to losing the bolded print and contrasting colors. Uncontrolled color saturation can absolutely ruin what would otherwise be captivating... just too hard on the eyes. Use bold lettering for headers only, or an occasional word that needs special emphasis. Check the page copy for spelling errors.

Rock On!

thanks for the input guys. will lose the counterand have a look at wot other things i can change

Great improvement Dave ...well done

As has said before. It's a little busy as in there's lots of different things all over the place. I found it a bit slow on my pc with the pictures taking a long time to load. Pages that take too long to load can turn people away from your site. Also some of the pictures appear not to have been resized properly as they either look squashed or pixelated.

I am a keen fan of music myself so I know your website could be popular if you tidy it up a little and take heed some of the suggestions on here. Great site otherwise and things can only get better.
