Your Honest Opinions

New design, what do you think?

KNOWN ISSUES:
- No homepage link (to be sorted)
- No non-JS pages (to be created)
- No mail form (to be made - email addresses there in mean time)
- You could be taken straight to a review by a link from another site without seeing the disclaimer, a link to the disclaimer will be put on each review page.

Teal/yellow combo looks sóóó 90's!
Also, serously reconsider bright red text on a teal background; it makes my eyes hurt, maybe someone with a visual impairment will really get a headache.
The rest of the page, color-use-wise, is rather plain and, well, grey; it could do with a lighter grey, or a different color for the center section, or maybe even not gray at all but an off-white with a color hue.
Lastly, using tables for layout is not preferred, especially since this kind of layout can very easily be implemented using CSS.
Oh, and:
<span class="h2">
Ever heard of the h2 element? :)

Why not link your site name to the homepage?

Or you could have an image link that will do it for you.

The colours are not very complimentative, and as a result do not really suit the Music idea.

I like the fact that you are coding in xhtml, but your page does not validate, http://validator.w3.org.


It is a good attempt, but not much can be said as none of the links actually work - well not in Opera 7.10 - which seem pretty intentional. Try to make the cursor to the default handpoint cursor - leaving on default is not a good idea as you will find that visitors will find it hard to tell what are links and what is simply text.

I have an idea I think, I am knocking it out now.

[Dalziel]

Good idea for linking the title back to the homepage, the links don't work in Opera 6 because I've used DHTML menus that opera doesn't support, they will see the non-js menus the links point to when I do them (<a href="#"> at the minute) I don't like the red colour myself, I made the site for a friend, originally the subtitle was yellow too but he asked me to make it red, I think you're right about the off-white shade.

I have to go out for a while, so I'll try to post this up a little later in a few hours time.

Back again - I was thinking a bit, and thought that something like this will probably go with a site like you are making:

Sorry for the slight crudity, I knocked it up pretty quickly.

Oh, it is valid xhtml trans also.</edit1>

The navigation pop up beneath the tableset in Mozilla 1.2.1, which means that all other Gecko-based browsers will look terrible too. The site is virtually unusable, since I refuse to use Internet Explorer for anything.

I get the same problem as Skyzyx while using Moz 1.2a. Also, I find drop down menus slightly annoying. There are times when they can be useful, but a lot of the times they are miss used. One of the key elements to a good drop down menu is that the text that calls up the menu (in your case events, reviews A-M, etc...) should be links themselves. I don't like having to browse through all dropdown menus and thus will most of the time just click the main link and go from there.

One other thing, the text that tells what page you are on (the stuff right below the Milleniumsound text) is sort of a bad color for me. I have a hard time with the contrast between the red text and the green background, the text gets all fuzzy to me. But alas, that may just be me poor eyes.

No; saturated red looks bad against almost every background apart from white or black, and should really only be used for traffic lights and such. Oh, and "adult content" sites... :rolleyes:
