I don't know if it is just me (it could be) but I don't feel like the text pops out very well, and that may be a result of the heavy background color. On my monitor (22") everything is surrounded by that strong red color. If I resize the window (reduce the width) it is not quite as bad. You might still want to consider adding a little more padding between the text and the edge, and also increase the font size slightly.

Hi John,
I think you missed calling the default fonts like verdana, arial, etc.

I also think the copy is too wide. Keep it off the sides a bit more.

Lastly, I think you need to "segment" the paragraphs better to help focus on vital info.

Overall, a good start. Perhaps, a round of changes and have us look again.

Oops, one more: I think the iPod control to hear samples need to display better to make it obvious to people that they can PLAY and STOP by pressing the controls.

Success,
Sam

I agee with Sam for the most part.

I didn't know I could click the ipod until late.

The copy looks a bit chunky to me so it's hard to read, it's almost overwhelming.

Travish90 · 05-05-2009, 03:27 PM

Looks like its going to heavily rely on graphics... I take it you're not going to worry about accessibility at all? but will you have more tabs? That would be interesting...

johnfrem · 05-05-2009, 03:35 PM

What can I do to make it easy to read?

No i will not have more tabs I want to keep it simple as possible so people don't get distracted. Your right I am not concerned with accessibility from mobile devices, only people with computers.

PS: The email op-in dont work right now I know. Redirects to the old version of the site.

you try browsing the internet. What color is nice and the views of what the letters in ordinary life in the world of web. and I think red is the color that is not recommended, if people here agree?

OmarNegron · 05-05-2009, 04:09 PM

I'm loving the picture and the logo on the top.

Looks professional man.

Hi bro...

For me and maybe this is just personal taste the text is not only a little small but the paragraphs are far too close together

I like to see my text in a decent size and like Verdana font

I also like spacing between paragraphs no matter how small the paragraph actually is. Just think it is easier on the eye

Hope that helps

Dean

the graphics are really cool - but the copy is a hard read. i agree that the paragraphs are too close together. but - a cool looking site!

Jason Keith · 05-05-2009, 04:26 PM

I agree with what others are saying here:

1. Add more margin space between your text and the background
2. Use a different font (arial, Verdana, Tahoma)
3. Increase the font size by one or more.
4. Separate your paragraphs a bit more. People do not like to read paragraphs that go more than three or four lines (in my experiences).

Those are the first changes I would make that would drastically improve the readability and the overall look and feel.

GeorgR. · 05-05-2009, 05:36 PM

i dont like the font and i think the text <---> images ratio is not right. Better a little less text and more graphics. Make the site more "classy" and less "IM" style..less text and enlarge headlines a little. But you're on the right way. Header is good.
