Hi everyone

Can I have some reviews on an MP3 search engine type website I have launched.

www.searchmp3tracks.com

Thanks

Sure you can. That is what this section of NamePros for.

I love the logo image so much, however you site is missing a navigation.. and music feeling. Make it look more like it's music..The main part of the layout is rather empty, put some paragraph.. advanced search form. Despite these comments, you use colours well and I have no comment regarding colours.

Lastly, the results page should be presented in a much more friendly way I guess.
Example? use a small icon for play / download .. just to add some graphic life to your layout and results page.

And do not forget the favIcon. You're very welcome!

Nice site. I think it's a rather clever idea; I'm not sure how it indexes mp3's, but it works find, and I think it's a very useful & original tool.

On the top, make the www.searchmp3tracks.com anchor text if you can. I like the logo of the guy in the top left corner. That is nicely done, but perhaps you could stick a music note in to convey the purpose of the site. To the left of where it says "Vista SideBar", you put the logo again, but because the dimensions are wrong, the logo is distorted. I recommend you scrap the logo there and put a Vista icon, which would be more appropriate.

Directly under that is the Digg man, and there are some problems with alpha transparency there. I use Opera, which is fully compatible with such, so I think it is a problem with your image. Try cutting out the white background to help it blend in.

I agree entirely with Porte about the results. They are nice and easy to sort through, but you should stick in some glossy icons for "Play" and "Download", like the icons for a mp3 player. That would fit in with the site better. Most of the site is very aesthetically appealing.

Last, center the bottom banner and spice up the text in the "Search =)" bar, and you should be all set.

ok. the site looks nice and it's clean
though I have some comments and some ideas
first of all, I think it would be better to make an image saying searchmp3......... instead of the text, it would look better, i think
then, the image with mp3 finder in vista sidebar also need resized, as it's a bit narrowed
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=399363
then, about the general layout.... try making a full box for all the parts and see how it looks... personally, I think it would better especially if you'd put shadows for it as well

and finally, in the search part, it's not about the design though... try making so "page" only appears when searching something....

That's all from me

Regards,
Vlad.
