Hi everyone,
Ive just finished a volunteer project - The Best Music Shop - Find New Music, Exclusive New Songs, Download Free Music Legally!
This, after a first rework and some research into the Flash components and swfobject, took a couple days to put together and get online - I did try to persuade them to wait a little while, but they said they'd rather I tweak things afterward.
Problem is, having creating everything from graphics to code to copy and getting all the content together and in the right formats (the mp3s..), and doing the flash replacement content too in 12 hours, ive stared at it so much im a bit sick of it and finding hard to see it with 'fresh' eyes in order to tweak and polish it.
Does anyone have any ideas/comments about:
1) How i could improve overall look and feel - quite like the basic layout and am going to stick with it for a while, but was thinking, does it 'go' with recent trends?
2) SEO - does it look too keyword-ified? (For the average user as well as for Google/people who will give me bad points if im too SEO'd up..) and is my very first attempt at SEO techniques correct?
3) Anything I could add - Id like to make this a bit more professional. I dont mean corporate, I just mean smooth, perhaps more interactive, and a bit 'fun' really, as well as anything that eases navigation and user-friendliness, and the direction from homepage to sales page/free music page.
4) I dont like that contact us link in the top menu - its not important enough, I think I could probably make use of that space for a better feature or section. I was first thinking forum.. and then i saw how many forums there were for upcoming artists and new music.. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks for the insights
