| WDR Staff: There were some major flaws we couldn't get over!  Maximum Bob seems to be stepping on himself with his own stuff. Several times the page did a complete jump, requiring a re-draw to the screen, which totally killed the whole effect. The ever changing gif pictures of the people in the upper left corner are a) hard to see on the black, b) totally distracting, and c) empty content - lending nothing to the main message of the page. Bob, this is aimless decoration... lose it. __Everyone liked the casual feeling portrayed by the slanted photo, and the flip use of typography. Even the rude yellow seems to work in the enviornment of a music site! It's fun, and it seems to be contageous! Nice tunes! __While we could do without the spam ad, thank goodness Bob had the taste and class to put it at the bottom rather then the top! |
Maximum Bob John wrote: I like the design, but they need to constrain the page width with a table. As it is the text flows over the 'edge' of the background graphic. They have recognized that one of the keys to making a brand-site is an individual color scheme. They've also thought about their typography. This is a really web designed out site! There is good use of new technology like real audio and animated graphics. The pages load like text pages even though they have many graphics. There is only one banner ad on the site. Overall this is a good site to check out when you have so spare time or want to listen to some music. __ Nicely done! Good use of colors (I like the yellow/dark green). Clean design. The vertical section headers on the right side of each section are very original - they look good, to. Like the tasteful use of fonts. Intuitive navigation. Great example of a band's site! Love the tunes, too! Other comments from Staff reviewers... The navigation buttons came in one by one in a haphazard way, and I think if you will name those (or number them) in a descending alpha sort, they will load in sequence top to bottom. ... the frame at the bottom is worthless, doing nothing but stealing space, and causing further stress on the server. Put the copyright in the side bar and get rid of the bottom frame. Special thanks to all our reviewers during March -- 78 in all -- who took the time to help out. _ All of these are good, constructive comments, and we hope the webmasters of these websites really appreciate the time taken by these generous folks. |
