I made a new website for our band
« on: October 20, 2010, 06:35:18 PM »
I don't do flash, frames or other fancy stuff, but I built a pretty basic website for the band that contains everything we really need.  We already have an established Myspace and Facebook presence, but thought it was time to fork out for a domain name. 

Feedback and constructive criticism about the website from any of you cluey IT dudes is welcome.

http://www.rollingstoned.com.au

Does the favicon work for any of you guys on Firefox or Opera (or Macs)?  (I'm on IE at work so can't check)
Cheers

Favicon works on Firefox for Windows.

Nice basic site. Everything you need to know and not too busy.

Nice work! I really like simple web pages, my eyes get tired quick with all this flashy nonsence "modern" pages include.

Nice and simple, no problem with Firefox. What program did you use to make it?

Looks great!  Good to have a pro looking site you can refer people to for info/booking.

Loads quick over here - fat lot of use, I know... ;D

I'd use a bigger font for the gig list is the only thing I can crit...

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

Yeah, the font on the gig list is controlled by the widget I embedded from Reverbnation.  Not sure I can change that.
