    Hey James..

    These are just my views on websites, and feel free to dismiss them and carry on if you should choose... I know my website isn't very good right now (so I bet you're thinking "who are you to talk?" but the guy I paid to do mine didn't end up doing a very good job.) I digress, and this is what I think..

    The opening music is kind of annoying.
    Your past gigs and future gigs should be seperate, and organized a little better.

    And please, if you want to be taken seriously by people viewing your webpage, please please please please spell and grammar check. Otherwise, you may be seen as amateurish. But the layout is simple and easily navigated, and it definetly is a GREAT start.

    Anyways, I hope this helps, if you disagree, feel free to disregard anything I said.

    Take care!

      Hey Buster,

      First-- spend the $100 USD per yer to get server space WITHOUT popups.

      Think about it like this, you want potential clients to come to this website because it is advertising YOUR show. Instead, because of the pop-ups, your site is now advertising someone else! It is potentially driving away YOUR clients!


      -Get some more pics. Indespensible. We need to see you & what you do.

      -"Juggler Extraordinaire" is SOOOOO cliché.

      -You describe yourself as "Bed of Nails Artist, Juggler, Unicycler, and much more". So the first thing you say is "Bed of Nails Artist" but your name implies that you are a juggler and all your photos involve juggling. Think clearly about how you are going to bill yourself.

      -Links should be on a links page. Think carefully about what links you put up.

      -You DEFINATELY need a contact page.

      Good luck!

        Think about what you're putting on the bill for the school show. Torches, knives, and a bed of nails aren't usually the first thing to spring to mind when combined with the term "educational", which is often a big selling point.

          I went to your website, you were looking at a couple of torches meaningfully and I was just starting to think of something funny to go with that when this music started, circus music. You tricked me, my guard was down. My mind snapped, I will never recover. I feel homocidal towards you.

            Anyway, James, I think in terms of your personal information and all, you've got it pretty alright. The text seems exciting enough.

            We definitely need more pictures of what you do besides just you holding fire torches. Maybe some live pictures would be a good idea to show people what to expect.

            Well the rest has pretty much all been said. The content needs to be a bit more organised. But other than that, it's pretty comprehensive and it's a great start.

            Good luck. [img]smile.gif[/img]
