Hi all!

 

I'm new here so if you haven't seen me around before then hello!

 

I've taught myself web design, I mostly make sites for friends and family. I have made a site for my band, what are your thoughts?:

Be as honest as you like

 

Thanks very much,

Good looking site I would say it gives a very accurate impression of the band.

I like your attention to small details - the mouse pointer for example

 

Only one thing - on the Bio page you need to give your first paragraph some more padding.

Other than that, I think it looks great.

overall impression is good, but I personally think that the website looks a little dark. I'm aware it's a rock band website and such kind of websites are usually black styled, yet the choice of colors might be in favour of more pleasing hues. Also, I'd like to read some extra information about the band members, but there were no any in the about us page.

Thanks very much for your replies

 

teodora: Now you mention it, the padding does seem a little on the thin side, I'll change that now.

 

EvaBrown: I agree, I was going to try putting some lighter elements in the page, like maybe making a few graphical aspects a bit more colourful (still going with the general theme though). As for the content, that'll be work in progress, just concentrating on music atm, otherwise there's nothing to advertise and talk about.

 

What res screens are you using?? and I take it, it looks alright on them?? The only trouble I have had is that the background doesn't cover the whole page on my phone browser (android).

If you use background-size:cover; the background will fit

I have done and it worked, but now when the slideshow animates, the background goes white on some parts. Only on my phone though, not too sure why.

Hello again,

 

I have been fiddling around with a few things, if I changed the font colour to something more prominent, what do you think of this?:

 

 

EDIT: And looking at that, maybe change the menu bar colour also?

 

EDIT 2! : Like this?:

Quick question (sorry about double posting), but how do you get a background image to fill the visible area of the screen but still have it scrolling with the page if you scrolled down?

Off the top of my head I think you want to use...

 

background-attachment: scroll;

Here we go replace...

html {
width:100%;
background:url(../images/background2.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover;
-moz-background-size: cover;
-o-background-size: cover;
background-size: cover;
min-width: 1024px;
}

with...

html {
width:100%;
background:url(../images/background2.jpg) no-repeat;
background-attachment:scroll;;
min-width: 1024px;
}

Brilliant! That was simple (thought it might be).

 

Thanks very much!
