Nice stuff! However, the text is a little to obviously CMSish, do something more exciting with it.
Lovely header though.

First impression I get from visiting the site is CORPORATE.... the whole banner in the blue washout and blinds along with the style and colouring of the site makes it very corporate.

I would ecpect discos and Karaoke to be fun... maybe with a nice use of colours, disco lights, even someone singing etc...

It is very professional looking and all pages are there and worded well, I just thikn you need to put the fun factor into it... it's a little corporate.

Good luck with it!

It's just a disco that is packed up and moved elsewhere really. Not too sure there really needs to be a description of it really.

Agreed that the gallery page is great and would probably sell your client's serices to many people.

Okay, that was my question. I didn't know if visitors would already know what it was or not. Thanks for clearing that up.

Hi guys, thanks for the kind comments. now a few of you have pointed out about the fun-aspect and how the text just looks dropped in there, the more i have noticed it. i will be looking at that again this week to see how it can be improved. also the client is looking for a "corporate" looking site, the company is very very well known in the uk, but i do agree we need a bit more of a fun factor in there.

thanks a lot for all the reviews guys. i appreciate your time.

This goes along with what has been repeated, but the content just doesn't seem to fit in with the header. There either needs to be a smoother transition or it needs to match up better, or possibly a combination of the two.

Now, I have never heard of a "mobile disco & karaoke" myself. Perhaps we use a different term for it in the US, but it would be useful if there was a short summary of what it is exactly your business does. The "mobile disco & karaoke" phrase is repeated often and you can't be certain that everyone will know what that means.

Lastly, I wanted to say that I think the gallery page is brilliant. It's a great idea to show the fun that your customers have when you are there so that customers can invision how their event will go.

Good luck with your business. It appears as if you are already very successful.

youve done a good job with the site, validating and all, although I agree with davey on the finer points of the site having a templatey feel, and the contents dropped in there... Also I feel the only thing going and hoding up on the design of the site is the header and its links... Make it a little more funky and I guess youve done the job...

DaveyBoy — Sun, 28 May 2006 05:29:38 +0000

It IS a nice design, there's no denying that. The thing is though, that discos and karaokes are supposed to have a certain fun factor about them. This site just seems a little too generic and template-y (yes, there's that word again!) The header is more in the style suited to a corporate company rather than his business. I think you should think bold and bright, colourful and loud when you create for anything to do with the music business really. This one seems a little cold in that respect. Also, the content seems to have been thrown in, just text and a couple of images. It doesn't really seem like it's 'part' of the site, if you get me.

Now, don't get me wrong mate, it's a cracking looking site for what it is, I just think I would have gone in a different direction with it. That's all personal opinion though. If you were going for the corporate look and your client is happy with that look, then you've done a great job - nice one!

Edit : Noticed in the header graphic you have "disco's" but it doesn't need the apostrophe.

Cheers.
