First Valid Layout

buddybuddha · 01-19-2006, 02:39 PM

I finally wrote the code for my new website.

It will essentially be competition to sites like Purevolume and Bandspace, with a lot more focus on bands locally that you can find in your own town.

Please take a look at this layout and critique for:
Color Choice
Overall Style
Content
Form Judgment
Tangibility of Cencept
Anything Else

Looks pretty good to me, nicely done.

Was that the only validation error? I used dreamweaver and it gave me no errors, but Ill fix that.

Looks great, only problem I have is that it is a little too dark.

Great site though!

JuggernautH · 01-20-2006, 05:48 AM

Looks awesome, but brigher colors or text would be nice though.

dweeb · 01-20-2006, 07:10 AM

It looks really nice and organised. Interesting stuff you got there.

All the best with your site!

You say it is too dark, but I was going for the grungy dark look. My plan is that after I launch this site, I will launch other sites with different names and layouts, but essentially do the same thing and have the same database, etc. They will all be under one network, so that I control many sites instead of just one. I dont know if that's a good idea. At first it seemed a little deceptive and unethical, but I will publicly note that they are the same.
Anyways, about the darkness, is the text hard to read?
And on a sidenote:
Do you think the different boxes in the Find Music div look alright?

JuggernautH · 01-20-2006, 09:41 AM

Everything is 100% nice now i think, awesome

voodoo · 01-20-2006, 04:44 PM

Granted, but it makes the text too bright, and it looks a little odd. Not a big problem though.

Not deceptive and unethical. I am not aware of any legal problems with it either. If you want, just put "Part of the ... network" at the bottom, under the copyright info.

Color Choice - best suite those type of sites.
Overall Style - great style most probably a template i could be wrong.
Content - overall great but the links are not functional yet
Form Judgment - one word: "band" comes to mind when viewing it.
Tangibility of Cencept - that i can't tell im no music or band lover.
Anything Else - overall ok
