This would be my new website. Not 100% done, but most of it is there. Tell me what you think

Im particulary proud of the circular preloader, the 'player' and the 'audio-syringe'...

Go on the site, you'll see what the hell im on about ! lol

10 people have viewd it and none of you have an opinion ?

ah well..

What do you think needs changing ?

Really nice mate i like the layout nice and simple yet looks the dogs Bo******s =)

Excellent piece of work and one of the better band sites I've seen in the last year or two. Clean with a simple layout and nothing technically naff (which is a big plus and a bit unusual for band/music sights in my experience)

All looks (very) good to me, with two minor niggles.

1) I had quite a lot of difficulty reading the names of the songs on the Player bit. The text on the main menu is fine, but the reduced size here made me peer at the screen to try to read it properly (and I still haven't been able to read what it says in the extra-teensy-tiny text after Pacify). Of course, this may just mean I need a bigger monitor

2) I personally don't like the way the main screen is a popup from what I originally thought would be the main screen; I get left with one useless fullscreen window and one floaty window which gets in the way of things. This is strictly a personal preference though, as I like everything to be fullscreen, so please don't take this too harshly

Otherwise, ditto to the previous comments. I like clean, minimalistic websites, and the background art looks good.

Not bad at all!
Nice work there, im intrested in whis 'muusic playa'
I also didnt like the way the page opened in a new window

[Drunken Poncho]

First of all, thanks for your encouraging comments. Glad you like it.

Gubs:
Im gonna make the writing bigger for the song names in the player. And incase you reeeeeealy must know right now or you cant get on with your life it says 'coming soon'. Lol. And by coming soon i mean withing 5 days unlike sites who say coming soon because they dont exist !

Gubs & Nemeliza :
I didnt want to open it in a new window, but then, where the website finnished, would be just plain hard white, where the artwork ends, and i think it would look too minimalist, and take away from the bg artwork.

Nemeliza :
'Im intrested in whis 'muusic playa''.... Can you elaborate on this please, i dont understand (ive only just woken up, so it may come to me before you reply, lol)

Thanks again,
Chris

You have a muusic player linkie thingy on ur webite. I have woken up now, i assume itll use flash to just play different media files?

[Drunken Poncho]

yeah it does.. i hope ! If you press the play button after either of the tracks it should play the track...... Give it a few seconds tho.

Nice site, if not in a common design style. Apart from the obviously problem with a popup window for the main site the only other problem really is the font, i know its inkeeping with the site design but it makes reading your content a chore, try a more common serif font like Trebuchet MS like they use on the hexus site news page and use CSS code to make the letters closer togeather to give a more messy look to it, then it should fit in.

Other than the minor issues i like your design, well done matey!

[loki]

I thoght the pop-up was gonna be a flash into. I was looking for a skip button and when i could find one i nearly just closed it before the web-page came up.

U may find people close earlier than me and dont get to the final site.

I may have missed something which tells you that the website will pop-up, but if it doesnt u might want to add it.

Looks brill - does the images page work?

Band sounds pritty good as well

[Drunken Poncho]

the images page isnt done yet, we've just employed the services of a new second guitarist, so we are waiting for some pics to be done... Probably have them done next week when we head back to the studio to record another couple of tracks.

Thanks for the comments on the music. We recorded those songs last july/august. The newest track, 'Pacify' will be on soon.

[tonicblue]

I bet MAS Records will be pissed off with you putting that on your site

[Drunken Poncho]

pacify goes on the site on thursday night. We get the finished cd with its nice booklet all shrinkwrapped

Ive put new lyrics on the site to new songs 'Inertia Blooms', 'Concensus ad Idem' + 'This Maturity (suits you well)'.

Oh and the forum is up and done. Go check it out
