    A move in the right direction

    Posted on Aug 04, 2009 at 1:44 PM

    Looks 10x better than the current site. might change the color of the link font, that yellow is a little hard to read and isn't the nicest color.

    I know it's a common solution to have a ton of content on these portals, but I wonder if that's really the best approach. This is obviously theoretical, but I assume you monitored which sections were used the most, etc.

    And I assume you meant more than 33 unique monthly visitors :)

    The icons look a little on the cheap side, maybe get a set created just for you guys?

    That's all I got!

    social networking box

    Very nice lyrics portal design. Except one issue - Twitter box. I miss the other social media icons - Facebook, MySpace, FriendFeed etc. The icons can be added to a present Twitter box together with this blue birdie.

    Another issue is the login using Facebook in the bottom box. It should be in the top menu line as alternative way to login, not hidden from first time visitor in the bottom.

    Too Much

    Posted on Aug 09, 2009 at 8:06 PM

    Hey I think you have too much on your homepage. I wonder if people are coming to your page for news and such as much as lyrics.

    Less is more.

    Very good.

    I agree with some of the other comments made in that there is a little too much on the front page. Equally, I can understand that you may have had no option.

    Other than that, the design stands up very well. The orange/brown type makes a good contrast with the blue framework and although graphic-heavy, the graphic content doesn't suffer from any interference from the graphic design elements which often happens on these sorts of sites. The icons are tastefully chosen. Bravo.

      Thank you for your positive feedback we are working hard to keep the content down as well as the page load time
