I like it, just a couple of points -

It could do with a couple of photos on each page just to liven it up a bit.

Get your contact details on every page.

Add this to your stylesheet to stop the layout shifting about in firefox and other browsers that hide the scroll bar -


html { min-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 1px; }


From an SEO perspective it also should have different title, keyword and description tags for each page. Get the areas you cover in the title tags too.

Completely agree about the photo's looking to get some taken pretty soon, as yet I don't have any.

Cheers for the other points!

Chris.

I agree with everything Danno said, also you could do with a contact form as well.

html { min-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 1px; }


html { min-height: 101%; }

Is easier ;)

Agreed.


Get your contact details on every page.

I'm not so sure about that, although I'd add a landline number as well as the mobile phone numbers if possible.

Just what I was going to say!

One other small thing, Womble...on the row of buttons for the different pages, I'd have the "about" page second - right after the "home" page, as that's where most websites with an "about us" page seem to have it.

Is that it? I was expecting a lot more.

I've got the landline sorted now, I'll get the number online asap.

This looks vaguely familiar---have we been asked to comment before--maybe I had a late night Saturday :bang:

You are in an extremely competititve market--especially for Bands/Musicians as well as Discos.

I think if your running an agency you need a lot more pictures of acts and videos http://www.davidcharlesent.co.uk/index.html--this is an agency I work for about every 5 years---he mostly cant afford me but I like his site:D

I bumped into these guys with an agency last Saturday.

Perhaps some ideas there to think about for the future, good to hear you have a landline--its the only way if you want to appear professional.

Out of interest (and sorry for veering off-topic) how have you worked that out?

G&J Roadshow uses the same template (http://www.youtubedjchannel.com/ravesensation/) and a small version is in his sig (http://www.mobilediscodirectory.co.uk/forums/member.php?u=1605), which is probably where you've seen it before!

Hiya Womble mate.
Have you not considered an 0800 number? They are very cheap, I pay 5 pound a month all inclusive. No setup fee, no hidden costs and takes a couple of weeks to set up. An 0800 acts as a forwarder and all calls made to your 0800 number, they get forwarded to your landline or mobile number.

Check out this company, they are excellent, we use them and cant fault them. (http://www.telecomsworldplc.co.uk/0800-numbers.asp?gclid=CMa1u9md3JkCFRgSkgodcUd9WA)

Best wishes,

Neil.

I know where you can get an 0800 number for £2 per month plus calls.

Womble...Pm me if you're interested & I'll give you details of the website.

Don't know anywhere cheaper than that, but I think even £2 a month is very cheap, especially compared to a certain company with two letters in its name which charges £10 a month!

Nice site, I use that template as well. I like how you have made the header/menue smaller, looks good. (Y)

Using my eyes and ears AND a very long time in the business working in Bands and Discos and continually talking to people who work in Bands and Discos on a daily basis.

Yeah - I though the original image was huge so I shrank it, took a bit of messing about to get everything to fit right though.

Thanks for the advice guys.

Yeah, but I didn't know that up to that point, so do you think the general public will?

I would think so , Alot of firms use them, If you advertised it as say

Freefone: 0808 55 44 33


The benefit of those particulare ones being FOC, Would be if you where a marketing guru you could track which form of advertising was working the best for you and then home in on that particular advertising sector
