I know very little about website coding, design etc. I decided to try wix.com and put together a website for my new band since myspace is really in the dumps right now.

What I did took many hours, but I am quite happy with the result. There are a few things I still want to change but its 80-90% there.

What do you think?

The two negatives against it are that it takes a bit of time for the home page to load. Also the url 'name' is too long.

Keep in mind this website is absolutely free. I paid nothing except the time it took to put it together, which while tedious, was pretty easy to do.

Appearance-wise, it's nice. But the Flash slows it down. I'm not a big fan of using Flash for the ENTIRE site because there's no real text. That makes it tough or impossible for web crawlers to "find" your website. (There are ways to do it if you have good Flash skills, but I'm assuming this Wix is a plug/play app.)

^ I'm a bit out of my depth when talking about this stuff, but I think wix did that on purpose as they charge a fee to help the website be found easier.
