Critique my band's website

[mambo4]

nice job.
the landing page sells what it needs to.
some dead links (ABOUT Page) so double check that stuff.
Songs page is great BTW, lets potential bookers/ audiences know if you're their thing.
except I was expecting to click on the little speaker icons and have the song next to it play...

The navigation does not work from your about page (Invalid Link Removed)

Thanks for the tip on the bad nav. Got it fixed! And removed the mini speakers on the songs page. Big ones should still work.

Hi Fletz,
your "about" page is only png image. So, google can't index words in it. Write text by hand into html and then add your image.
ps: sorry for my bad english

Thanks! Very helpful.

The bottom of the index page scrolls on for quite a long time with nothing but black background. You could remedy this by coding a static footer that contains a synopsis of your contact information, or a smaller, always-visible nav bar. For the sake of continuity, if you do this on the index page, do it on all the pages.

The dates page leaves a lot to be desired. It's currently setup like a center-justified Word document. Try building that into a table (0px border width) with the dates on the right, left-justified, and an image for each date on the left to keep things interesting. Maybe the venue logo, or an image from your last, or most successful gig at that location.

It's a great start, and with a little work you'll have a very pro site. Nice job!

The dudes dogging you about not looking pro enough are interwebs fanbois -it looks fine. The only thing that lept out to me was your statement "With over 35 shows in the past 12 months..." - - not exactly the statement you want to make if you're a "working" band. I'd suggest you say something a bit more vague that suggests that you are "IN DEMAND" rather than "PART TIME", dig?

not bad at all, but it doesn't look pro and lacks that wow factor, you should look at pro artists site, and try at your best to get something like it.

Totally. Great point. Thx!

And ... As a former emarketing VP (not developer but strategy etc.) I appreciate the geeky HTML help!
