[quote name='zero9' timestamp='1467471128' post='3083948'] It renders perfectly fine on apple devices. To be fair, it does look a bit thrown together in a hurry. It's a bit dull, however, it is informative. The english could do with a bit of a polish too. If this is intended to promote the band it requires more work imo, especially to make it stand out. [/quote] Yup done on a Mac in 75 minutes having never done anything like this before so it's a learning curve thing. Dull? Or clean? We wanted clean English? Anything in particular? Couldn't see any typos personally or is it just the tone? Thx muchly

[quote name='12stringbassist' timestamp='1467467603' post='3083906'] Very quickly, without reading the comments above: Homepage - get a head and shoulders shot of the band, or a wide shot that shows you fully. Other pages - the text looks like it is breaking up - except on your gigs page,which is fine. Use that font and size throughout. Gallery page - try to avoid photos with mics in front of the band's faces. The image on the contact page isn't showing. You're welcome to critique my band's site in return! www.wizdomband.co.uk [/quote] I don't think I'm in a position to comment on your site due to my inexperience but it looks kinda dark for my taste. And don't you get all the weirdos phoning the mobile number? The guys in the band like the arty knees home page photo, perhaps it prompts people to go to the gallery page? The font thing seems like an issue with different browsers/systems - to be looked in to... Gallery page, trying to show the lights off a bit and the media is limited at the moment. There isn't an image on the contact page

[quote name='TimR' timestamp='1467464358' post='3083867'] It's very easy to obsess over these things. IMO the website should be very simple introduction to the band to give you a web presence and an easy Google way to get followers to Facebook. A band Facebook page is the way to manage all your dynamic content. [/quote] Exactly what we want - its a quick brochure really. Dont want to be having to modify it all the time, its just something to ping over to someone who has expressed some interest in us for some reason and doesn't want to delve through the litter on the faceache site The face ache page is where all the daily stuff goes

All useful and valid, thanks v much the font - i think that may be an incompatibility perhaps or personal dislike, looks perfect on my macbook, hudl and iPhone (although the tabs appear as a washed out drop down box on the smaller devices - i'll have to fix that somehow) and the band guys like it images - we wanted a very clean looking site, theres images all over our Facebook and lemon rock stuff. Happy with them on the gallery page really, everything in one place if people want to see what we look like. The home page banner is upscaled and a bit fuzzy, agreed. Did the typography thing - good spot, it looks better now ta Icons on contact page - again i agree but haven't figured out how to do it yet (but it is my first ever attempt at anything like this so go easy on me :-) our ellipsis is now reduced to just 3 dots too - i got carried away with those too many pics of geetardist/singer - we all look like mongs most of the time on stage, he tends to photo up better 80's 90's against 80s 90s - yup, dictated by the font unfortunately, probably going to stick with that. Sorted out the capitalisation though, good spot and thanks... and media tab is work in progress - gonna delete it until we are ready to load it on songs chosen to be different and then listing sex on fire and summer of 69 - we offset that by stating that there are some classics in there. And those particular ones are part of a whole different post - my view is if they wanna hear them, we'll play them. We're paid to get people singing and dancing and rebooks come from playing what people want to hear. They're actually not in the set list most of the time, just there if we need them - we have plenty of others that do the same job. Blue - good idea to put the next gig on the front page. We always have it as a pinned post on our Facebook but it wouldn't hurt on the site as well. All good and constructive stuff guys, thanks for your time and efforts :-)

[quote name='joey1234' timestamp='1467387165' post='3083372'] Go daddy do some good hosting options for first timers, you generally have to pay for the year upfront, but then the following years are like double triple the original price. I actually know a web designer who does an all in one package for hosting/design. I can give you his details if you like. [/quote] Cheers for the offer joey - we have a dep guitar who does that sort of thing so we'll probably use him

[quote name='r16ktx' timestamp='1467385723' post='3083344'] Two things stood out for me immediately - decapitated home page photo and the menu button is indistinct. Viewing on 7" tablet. Also from a personal taste pov I would get rid of most of the about band CV speak and move what's left into a single paragraph on the home page. The contact us links should have the text as 'email', 'facebook', 'web' etc rather than the Uri text. [/quote] The text 'about the band' is to give any potential bookers a better idea of what we can offer them thats different to other bands on the circuit. I didn't want to clutter the front page ideally. And yes, good point about the link titles, cheers :-)

[quote name='joey1234' timestamp='1467385897' post='3083349'] Hey nice and simple website, I would say not to use free hosting though (IMO url looks amateur). The site looks clean though, I would possibly suggest linking your videos to the relevant songs in the song lists. So people can click a song and go right to you playing. Also might be worth having some customer reviews (i.e landlords ---Just make them up if needs be). I think the about the band soul have a picture and small bio for each member. [/quote] Yeah i know what you mean about the url - we'll look into proper hosting. Linking the video is a great idea - i wouldn't have thought of that.
-
hmnnn....i did it on a macbook and the menu looks fine on that. I'll have to check it out on a tablet. and the decapitated piccy was deliberate - we're very ugly so i thought the lights and knees would show us at our best :-)

I've just had my first go at creating a website for the band. We have used Facebook and Lemonrock for a while but wanted something a bit more like a "brochure" to promote the band. So, i discovered Weebly and had a go last night whilst watching the football with the other eye :-) Could any of you who have experience with websites have a quick look and throw some suggestions at me for anything i am missing with the design of the site please? I am going to add a media page with some video and audio but the stuff we have available now isn't quite up to scratch in my opinion so needs redoing. Thanks in advance Heres the link http://yellowhouserock.weebly.com

I have an ABM600 and its a great amp (paired with a couple of BB2's). Doesn't suffer from the Ashdown wool thing and you can do a great SVT thing with it.....
-
Push the low mids and mids a bit is the general answer - or, if its just boomy, cut the bass and crank the volume..... Depends on your rig though of course - some setups are punchy, some are smoother
-
how have you still got this Shonks????? people are missing a trick with this one - she's a beaut with a fantastic neck and lovely finish (honey burst is loverly...) have a "my old bass" bump -
i'm pretty much ready to eat my own leg at 1am after a gig....... anything will do, my quality control goes out of the window. however a Lamb shish with chilli and garlic sauce, red cabbage and salad is top of the list

Possible dodgy Elixirs on fleabay - heads up with link
Mudpup replied to Mudpup's topic in General Discussion
[quote name='Badass' timestamp='1465658241' post='3070029'] Another thread here on this: [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/285981-dodgy-elixir-nanoweb-strings-bought-on-ebay/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.u...__fromsearch__1[/url] [/quote] Sorry, didn't see that - its the same guy -
not sure if this is the right forum or within the rules - mods feel free to move/delete it if you feel you need to....... Just hunting strings on Fleabay and came across these Elixirs at a cheap price. Check out the spelling on the top right info panel on the image of the back of the packet - loads of errors leads me to believe they may be hooky. Just a heads up. Be careful out there.....

I'll give them a try Mark....... PM ed -
I think its a risk of the newer text/messaging culture - you just assume people have read/seen the message and can't be bothered to get in touch. I'm pretty certain that anyone who's living depends on selling anything would be pretty hot on following things through...... i gave my 12year old lad a roasting the other day for not replying to a text from me (just one about collecting him from school) - he insisted he hadn't received it and it came through as we were talking - he genuinely hadn't received it. You can't beat the old school method of actually talking to people....

I've had both - contoured is much comfier. The top part of the slab rubbed on my forearm and constantly niggled me......

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1465041399' post='3064877'] wasn't the title edited early on? And the bit about biscuits added? [/quote] dont remember doing that, but i am getting on a bit...

[quote name='sunburstjazz1967' timestamp='1464988785' post='3064544'] You mean like the title of the thread for example, and the cryptic one it replaced? Lol [/quote] Huh? Its my thread and i never replaced anything.....or mentioned the BF word either
