The Facebook plugin should probably be moved, but overall it seems nice. Maybe make the non-moving part of the links at the top more noticeable.

Which one are you?

The facebook plug in is getting worked on at the moment litterally right now (it'll jus be the regular facebook link after were done).

Oh and Im the white ginger kid in the middle with the mad glare covering my face (which I like

)

Except for the facebook thing on top of the page, it looks pretty much like a myspace profile.

O.k the facebook thing could be a Google chrome issue, I just went to the site using Firefox and the problem is not there.

Not sure what font you're using, but it's leading is wrong when rendered on a Mac (Chrome & Safari)

Apart from that it's looking nice!

Yeah, it honestly looks so much like a Myspace page that I'm not really sure what the point of having a dedicated site is. Also, on my iPhone the banner covers up the top half of the navigation bar below it.

Otherwise, looks fine, perfectly servicable

The banner is in front of the menu bar, ditch the little flip down flash buttons and just leave them centered int he frame.

Banner picture is a little large, I'd scale it down, so you can actually see a bit of the rest of the site.

Orgwe than that it looks like you standard forum/phbb site, not bad.

anyonefortennis · #12 12-04-2010, 08:09 AM

I think the lens flare on the pic is annoying and that the band logo is really hard to read - other than that, well done.

blendermassacre · #13 12-04-2010, 08:28 AM

Now none of your links are working...

+1 The banner picture with the name looks great. It's just too big.
Not everybody has a big screen. And, even if you do have a big screen,
you're forced to scroll down to get to the content.

Also, those pop-down rollover buttons should be readable even when the
cursor is not over top of them.

Is it suppose to look like this? Also a lot of .html (28 Errors, 20 warning(s)) and .css errors (101 errors). The following buttons bring me to a 404. Bio, media, merch, and contact.

bongomania · #18 12-04-2010, 07:33 PM

The way the animated buttons work on my browser, they are half hidden by the logo panel, and they pop down below it on mouseover. They should not be hidden at all, and IMO if they are going to jump anywhere, they should jump UP on top of the logo graphic.

Also, users should not have to scroll down to see the rest of the page. I didn't even know it was there until I saw the post above mine. Any time your content would end up going below a normal screen view, it's time to make a new page.

The link buttons are gonna be replaced with regular (non sliding) buttons for:Bio,merch,etc.I agree with you.

Also...I know what yer sayn about scrolling down...but what'd you suggest to fix it??I mean with that pic and logo its tough to briong up the content.Ill bring it up with our web guy though and ive thought the same as you to be honest.

Much thx guys!

bongomania · #20 12-04-2010, 08:37 PM

The solution is like I said, start a new page.

Have that big logo dealio be your "splash page", the one that people land on when they first hit wauntid.com, and make a new button for the "news" page that includes the news, show dates, and social networking. That short "who we are" bit goes on the bios page.

The big photo and logo do not go on the other pages, unless you write some css to have your text float over them.
