    Hi!

    Here´s my new design and I´d like your comments on it. It´s a bandsite for my friends band. What do you think about the layout and is the navigation too messy...your truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth about it. The site isn´t "REALLIVE" yet, cose it´s not quite
    finished yet. The player isn´t working yet. So gimme feedback. The site is in finish so some of you wont understand the text.

    Thanks in advance!

    Really nice design, well done.

    The only suggestion I'd have is to add some colour when rolling over the navigation buttons, or some sort of glow (possibly red?) around them.

    Decent enough layout for sure. I dont know if the background image is meant to look low-quality but it does, and also the navigation text is a little too small (and im on a relatively low resolution, most people use 1600x1200 these days) so you might want to increase that a bit.

    Decent enough structure though and it's spitting out valid xhtml - well done. :)

    awesome band site.

    this is another design with a black background that just FITS the theme.

    gj!

    http://koti.mbnet.fi/thinner/epistemp/media.html <------make those images either have no border or make it a white thin border size 1

    other then that, neat simple, straight to the point...awesome stuff

    its ok for a band, but I would say get rid of some of the crappy fonts, keep it clean and everything, I know band fans are probably not interested in design, but it would be a bit nicer looking......

    It's OK, no groundbreaking design or anything new in terms of design, navigation etc...

    But it's good enough for the purpose. Good job.

    My truthful opinion is the design is ok, but so many bands use the black background and dark colour effects, why not have tried something different and more unique?

    I think the website looks a bit lifeless and lacks inspiration for a rock band, considering when your listening to a good rock band the impact they can have on your mood, i think the website should also attempt to deliver the same impact, this one doesnt do much for me and its concept needs alot of work.

    Open honesty it needs improvement, more life, more captivating graphics, show the band off!

    Font is a little hard to read, the icons with the mouseover of the font is way to small in my opinion. Also make it bigger, bigger is better
