No, obvious floors. Links seem to be alright. Very well made site. Do you have YouTube? It's a great way to get a fan base, link it to your Facebook, twitter and post it on your website. Just post a video or two (just a basic fixed image of you or your logo with links to your Facebook, twitter and website via annotations, I'll help you there, with your music in the background) and you're ready to go.
Hope I've helped,
Joe

If you want to improve it then get somebody to give it a decent proof-read. It looks nice but some poor spelling/punctuation lets it down a little. You may not care as I don't suppose, given what you do, that it's a principal concern. Sure you want to get it right though. Good luck.

My management/webteam designed the site,

is there any spelling errors that drastically pop out at you? so i can pass them on.


Thanks for the help

It's probably more grammar than spelling. In the 'Note from Jack' section quite a few commas would be better changed to full-stops. For example the opening should be 'Welcome to my first look site. Firstly...' Also in the 'Diary Filling Up' section it should read 'There have also been big bookings..,' not 'has'. Quite a few things like that but nothing really major.

I am really nit-picking and it's not like you're selling yourself as an English tutor so it probably doesn't matter. I just know if it was me I'd want it right. It does look good and you're obviously doing well for yourself so all the best with it.

It may seem hard to believe but i do actually excel in the area of website designs

I have explored your website, clicked on everything let me just work through the positives and negatives

Positives are the design looks good, easy to navigate and work your way around, good links, and quite intresting

Negatives, you could perhaps do "about us" page just to tell people what its all about, you could maybe add a comments section where people can add their comments about the songs etc, also you could do a little more text about the songs, their origin, what its about etc, also i understand that its a new site but you need more content

Overall good, its got potential, 7 out of 10 i think


i am a season ticket holder and i always will be one  


"aaron is the next michael barrymore, hes a comedinan"

it is official, i am a comedian

Also what about an events calendar where people can see what dates are free and are able to hire you out also a price list of how much it costs to hire you?, not a bad site though

Like the design of that, only a personal preference but I think the "Page Title Area" is rather too big (the part where it says Music or News etc in white writing when click on the relevant link). Too much scrolling down to find the content, but like I said that's a personal preference. You'll never please everyone when it comes to Web Design.

Out of interest, and as it looks as though it is from the styling names etc, was this produced in Wordpress?

The site is easy on the eye and I'm not an expert but it seems quite good Jack.  I'd would have liked to see pictures as well as videos but as you are starting out this could be an area you experiment and develop over time.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Aaron,

I have a calender already set up on the site , its password protected for now while management update it,
but will be shown here http://jackhowes.co.uk/gigcalendar/


All quotes for hire will go through my manager and it depends what type of hire your looking for, wether it be Club/Festival/private hire.
Going rate is normally £65 per hour plus expenses


So what area of web design do you excel in;)?
