- slow start due to large graphic
- weird/bland colour scheme
- poor text structure and layout
- the main desin idea is good though as it immediately looks like a directory.
- drop the counter

I agree - you definitely need some sort of navigation menu. This seems to be kind of a web design standard - it allows users to see what's on your site with a quick glance and easily get to where they want to go.

I don't know about the colours you have chosen - they don't really say "Hip Hop" - this type of music seems to be very vibrant - You might want to replace the tan with a brighter colour.

You know what's wierd? The layout of this site is almost exactly the same as option.org (which I reviewed earlier today!!)

Now, this part is probably just me, but I hate it when designers play with my statusbar. I, for one, want to check links in the statusbar to find out where I'm going - and a lot of your links are going off the site (annoying, because I can't figure out which links go to other pages on your site for the purposes of this review)

Well the first site I see (index.html) has some slow loading graphics, and they are a little fuzzy. Also, you should make it so you can click any of the graphics to enter, not just the small arrow.

I like the colors you choose, but the logo picture isn't the same color as the background, I don't know if you wanted it that way, but I don't really like it. Also, the blue bar that is part of the logo doesn't look right, I would change it.

I also see lots of text, in no particular order. I would keep only text you really need. The navigation is the same way, it looks like the nav. is scattered all over the page.
