think you may mean we endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible on your quotation page ..... not devour cannibalism on your clients really hinders repeat bookings and not sure i like the buttons in the middle of the page ....the pictures are huge when you click on them so could do with down sizing them .... the information is good though and you have thought about it.

Should be... "We also carry £1.25 million of public liability insurance for your peace of mind.

I made the same mistake on mine :)

What they said.

& who exactly says you're number 1? It's a very big claim to make for somebody covering such a wide area & in all honesty will mean diddly to most prospective clients.


Very limited navigation, you have to go via the home page each time

I thought the same.

Also, some of your text is worth checking, as you have a lot of capital letters where you don't need them.

The picture with the huge CRT screen on the deck stand looks slightly worrying! Have you got it bolted down?

Just a few thoughts:

1. all the pages are designed differently. Try to design a standard layout for all the things that stay the same - navigation buttons, header, logo, telephone number maybe and then just change the body of the text, that will give you uniformity accross the site and make it look much more user friendly.

2. Not sure about the toastmaster bit - do you have toastmaster qualifications? From experience, even though it might seem really easy, this is a very specialist area and can make or break a party. If you are a great DJ, stick with being great at that maybe and not try to do too much

Maybe more later!

"It is considered neither hygienic nor classy to lay your head in the bottom of the fountain, open mouthed, waiting for the chocolate to flow"

no but the sugar rush is intense man !!!! :D :D

have to say i thought same about toast master once spoke to one was being paid £350 for his services so im guessing it is a particularly specialised area??

I believe there is a profesional qualification to be a real toastmaster.

Have often considered doing that, but weddings are such a special time, i would hate to do something half job. The one we used for our wedding was absolutely superb!

You asked for feedback, you got it...

Not being able to right click the navigation buttons is a pain. Really, they're not so amazing that you should be worried about someone stealing them, but being able to open a new tab/page is important.

On your Info page...
Lose pretty much all of the apostrophes on the page, they're almost all wrong!

This:
We Have Been In The Disco Business For Over 25 Years Now Providing Entertainment For All Occasions From Birthday Party's To Weddings, Anniversary's, And Even Christenings.

Should be this:
We have been in the disco business for over 25 years now, providing entertainment for all occasions, from Birthday Parties to Weddings, Anniversaries, and even Christenings.

The initial capitals on all of the words is obnoxious (I don't mean to be rude, but honestly, it makes your text very hard to read), use capitals for emphasis only on the important things as in the example above.

Venue Page:
Either comment on all of them, or comment on none, and leave it as just a list. If just a list, list all venues played at. Then again, unless the venues actually recommend you, what's the point?

Theme nights:
Permission to use the WHAM piccie?

Overall:
Stick to just a couple of fonts for the whole site, not different fonts per page. One for headings, and one for body text. You can be a bit creative with the heading font but the body font should be a clear sans serif font, i.e. NOT Times New Roman (and whilst it is sans serif don't use 'Comic sans' font, either!), and never use those faux script fonts. I personally prefer Verdana and will be using it on my website as I do on all my printed material (and it's the font used in my logo).

Likewise stick to just one background and try to avoid anything too gimmicky.

Your logo needs to either have a transparent background or the background of your page should be a more obvious and seemingly intentional contrast to the white, or put a border around it.

Throughout your copy you switch between 'we' and 'I' at random, pick one and stick with it. 'We' is usually best.

Centred text is fine for headlines and the occasional 'jump out' quote, but using it for all the text in a page is fatiguing to read.


Check out my boss's website (http://www.discotech.co.nz) to see what I mean about the readability of left-justified text in a sans serif font. I'm not suggesting that this site is perfect, far from it, there are many things I'd change about it, but it's not bad on a mobile-DJ budget!

Believe me, I've spent a lot of time getting carried away with fonts and noodly things on web-sites and advertising material - simple and precise can still be eye-catching, oftentimes moreso.
