Please Review my Singer website

[livingingermany]

Would really appreciate some feedback on the first draft of a new website I have put together for a new singer/songwriter.

Thanks

Site is cool but ALL the photos of her is is similar to each other. (wearing same clothes, same bandage, same hair style )

[SiteBetter]

I can see you were going with the look and feel of her outfit, but I am getting so sick and tired of that Twitter color. Other than that, the site looks really sharp.

Cool image...easy to navigate...and btw, I like your song...good luck dear...

Andy :)

Nice Work :), Slideshow and right side playlist is unique and looks cool :)

[livingingermany]

Thanks all for your feedback, always nice to get some.

Sadly I only have six photos to work with, hence she's wearing the same outfit in all the pictures. Yes it does look a little like the twitter colour scheme but as was pointed out, this was just to match what Luisa is wearing in the photos.

The overall design is good! I like the colors too.

Like the others my only issue is that the photos are all too similar, maybe you can get her to do another photo shoot soon with a few scene and wardrobe changes. That would really help!

[Andrewjoh2009]

I, too, like the colors, but I think the pics are rather boring. I think if she went out to get some studio pics that would help the site a lot.

Was really a great success for ...

[bigrupee]

cool one but loading time has to be improved.

[sxcnelson]

Graphics are very impressive

[drdavisjr]

The website looks good.

[renskar2009]

[themesjunction]

u rock man.... keep it up gr8 site i like it very much

[trvlr]

images can be changed - not a big deal, but the design is... impressive! I can't really suggest anything. Great Joomla design!

[kevmont]

I like the site and the music. The contact details might be given a button at the top of the page.

[campolar]

Site is nice, so are the songs... If she works a bit harder she can sing top songs :p

[livingingermany]

Thanks again to everyone who has written back with feedback, very much appreciated. I am only a hobbiest web designer so it's really great to get such positive feedback. I will try and take all of it on board.

I'm going to suggest to her that we need more photos to replace some of the similar ones, something that when you see the site for the first time, you probably find glaringly obvious, something that I, having put the site together over a few weeks on and off, had not realised.

That's the great thing about the review forum here - you know your own site very well but you don't get to hear of the first impressions from people that don't know your site like you do. So, thanks again.

I have finally managed to add some streaming video of her first ever live performance, which, some might say is a little rough at the edges but all in all I believe she has a great talent. Considering that she is only 20 years old, is German yet sings in English, writes her own material too and sings whilst playing guitar is very impressive to me.

I would love for her to find success in the music industry and believe that before long she will be signed to a record label.

So my final question to you very helpful guys and gals out there: apart from a varied photo selection, is there anything else missing from the site that you would normally expect to see on a music artist's website?

[dell084]

Nice site, great

[2advance]

The site looks pleasant and nice. I think you need to work more on the title, looks simple..

[Newbie.Jr]

Your site is easy to use.. I like this...

Good luck for your site...

[SampaYes]

I like the design, but as already said, the colors reminds Twitter webpage... maybe you can just change the colors little.
Why not use more/ different photos.
Congrats... really nice page.

[marketingezy]

artistic..

clean..
full of information...

Not having the large photos first, people will scroll down anyway.
Anyway, your page title is "Home | Luisa Robbin | Official Website - Singer | Songwriter | Performer"
People do't generally search for "homes", and they do not search for "official websites" either. You may put those words in the content, but never in a Page title. Who would you want to find your page? What is the name of your music style, your favourite instrument in the music? Or, which people do you want to find you. If so, you have to include words and content that they look for. Try to get those things together so that when people see your page among other pages in a Google search, that they will see what you are and what you do already in the title. The words "Home", "Official Website" don't tell anything about the content.
Your site can be even better!

I´m listening to the music, for me that's the first thing. Music is personal, yes I know..... I've been composing, playing and producing music too. I think you sing in a too narrow range, when I hear you, I hear how it would sound if you also sang with a higher pitch, one octave up sometimes. And having some chorus, voval harmonies on too. Even if a band has one great singer, it becomes boring without any other singers. A backing (chorus) doesn't have to be a pro, it might gain considerably anyway. That's my view. Other people may think otherwise. Also, I don't know how, but it sounds as if I hear a little swedish accent, not german (I'm swedish so I'm used to hear), try to soften down the "r"-s a little.
