Looks alright to me, I didn't find any bugs, I didn't strain myself to find any though.

One thing that was kind of annoying was when sampling a song from the special player thing, I clicked on the other track titles expecting to hear a sample of that song but another window that shows the same track list I was just looking at and a button to go to paypal, 1 I was not expecting this and 2 couldn't you put a link to paypal on your flash page? I know it's cool to let people listen to the music as they buy it, but A lot of internet users these days use pop up blockers, so worst case scenario is someone who wants to but not knowing that a pop up has been blocked and thinking the site is broken and leaves.

I would redirect to the paypal page from those links in the sample player.

Thanks very much for taking the time to check out the site matt.

I'll be working on a better solution for the sound clips real soon. :-)

It was a pretty cool site, however if you are going to try to rank well with SEO isn't a flash site going to hurt you?

[dentricrio]

Where does the myth comes from about not being able to get high ranked sites using flash? There is no reason why it can't be highly ranked especially if its specific and has some decent metas. :D

Regarding the website, I'm sure I have seen the little people int he top right some where before. It could do with a logo along the top instead of down the side of the menu, also If you verticaly centre the page and give the HTMl a nice background, perhaps?

Its decent it all work could just do with a little bit of tidying up, but in all it does the job.

Added some text to the sound clips sections. ;-)


Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. :-)

honestly i dont really like it, you need more. The audio player restarts every time you go to a new subject. good idea for the background, you need to blend the seams better. overall way to bland, add some more colors!!! use colors from the people on the top right

uhmm nice functionality....

the design is kind of weak

try researching some Caribbean Soca posters circa 90s, not the crummy ones for parties were they just montage images left and right but the colorful ones...

Mmm... I agree with Sethberg, First of all I should spend some more time on the background pictures, the aligment of the pictures is not right and the colours do not match, you could reduce these easily with some photoshop. Secondly I would just let a random song play and don't change the track with every button click.

Transitions are nice and smooth although not my favorite, background movement works also smooth, I think in overall a nice job, but take some more time to really finish it..
