My office manager has a website for his band & we are not happy with the over all look - it needs something more visual but less cluttered. Any suggestions, criticisms etc are requested from you web & graphic design gurus. Thanks in advance.

BTW sample MP3's are forthcoming for those interested - they are very good.

I like it, but it does need work. I think the biggest issue would be to give the middle a little more breathing room. It'd probably be beneficial to make it stretch the full length of a screen.

Make pictures on the pictures page thumbnails. Seperate files, no resizing with HTML.

Yeah, and those buttons don't seem to fit too well either.

over all i dont think its horrible..

the pictures page needs work.. all pix loading at once like that is wack..
dial-up user would hate that
small thumbnails that open to a java window might work..

the contact me link at the top took me straight to a "Mailto:" link..
i didnt like that.. should atleast have a page there and then a button for that

and i think you should have the nav buttons on all the pages..

I like the first one the most it's easier on my eyes.

When history witnesses a great change, Razgriz reveals itself,
First as a dark demon,
As a demon it uses its power to reign death upon the land;
and then it dies.

However, after a period of slumber, Razgriz returns.
This time as a great hero...

Sorry to say, and no offense but I don't like any of them.

The text is WAY too big and the font is horrible.

Try a different font, smaller and blend the image's edges better.

Also remember, simplicity is sometimes the best way.

Yeah I agree about not bein' too "busy", but I must get all the members of the band in or they won't be happy...otherwise, I would do something like the second pic below. Is the first one any better w/ smaller font? Or is it still not simple enough?

http://www.the-order.org/patsweb/BannerA%20lights1%20burn%20text2%20resize40.jpg

and go with the design of this one
http://www.the-order.org/patsweb/BannerA%20dark%20white%20surround%20resize40%20small%20textjpg.jpg

just make it Challenge Theory with Cap letters..

i never really like the multicolord Emo look.. some bands go for that tho

and remember to design for atleast 1024by768.. those pix are a bit big right?
