cool color scheme and logo. Nice professional look and good music but you need to add more content to your site.

Cool site, I like it

**greedylobster** · 09-08-2007, 05:41 AM

oh isn't it that the content of the site is what it offers and that is music... there some news that are updated regularly... content like what ...? i'm confused a tad... give me a couple of examples if you will, please...

It's a nice site but I feel that it could visually represent the music more. The music is bright, happy and sunny so I think the colour scheme should reflect this.

Also, how about a radio player that plays featured tracks? (or was that what the 'flash here' box was on the top-right?)

Thanks for your input. Apart from the site being for the wider audience in the world it is also for the Pacific Islands people and they have a little different colour preferences when compared to traditional Western liking...
(in other words some colours and their combinations that are "unacceptable" in the West are perfectly fine and often favourite when it comes to Polynesia)... So we had to take that into account

This is why the colours may seem to be somewhat off... It is done on purpose...

Did you mean demo tracks?... If yes they are played when you click the megaphone icon using SoundManager. I know it is a little awkward because there are no instructions or anything and you can not tweak the volume. This was done because of paranoia of stealing things, because we provide full length preview... We are aware of this too and are going to take care of this a little further down the track...

The Flash Here box is for a Fash Ad that is being born in unearthly struggle...

Hey, thanks again for taking time to have a look at it ...

I need more, please... Be as brutal as you feel... Anything is welcome...
I want the thing shine...

Hi,
Your website is looking very nice, you have used attractive color and best programming. For more web traffic towards your website you will have to need a flash movie and better content on your home page. because the visitors see firstly home page, so the home page should be attractive.

Good Luck

i like it

the color scheme is great

**Sir P** · 09-10-2007, 06:18 AM

I've not seen a site that good for a long time.... great colours, great layout, great gaphics... well done!

Do you do freelance? I have a project that would die for a design similar to that ...

I like the orange on grey scheme you have made here. Something i cant quite put my finger on with the maskot cartoon at the title. It just looks out of place. I think photography would of worked better there.

I think that you could work on the loading time of this website, cause it takes a little time to fully load. Design isn't pro, but can do until you'll start to recive big traffic.

Loads instantly for me. Slow internet/computer

I like it, alot. However I would like to see an "About Us" or "About This Website" page and link somewhere obvious.
All sites should have such a page in my opinion.
