my site

Okay this site is a fan site for my favorite music group. I'm not an expert with stuff so yeah... here's the link http://j5upsidedown.com

The portal page has a big empty space at the top right of the page. I would recomend that you either center the image or that you install the image that you are planning for the empty space.

The white lettering on black makes for tired eyes.

I don't like the colors of the forum. Again light content on dark background is hard on the eyes. The brain sees the black background, concludes that it is dark and dialates the pupils. Your guests will leave your site feeling lousy and strained and won't know why.

I looked for some pictures of the group. When I clicked on Visuals I didn't get a picture, I got a list. Pick a good picture and put it on the top of that page.

It looks like you have good content. You just need to organize it better. I've fiddled around the site for a few minutes and still am not sure about that music group. The name of the group is "jump 5", right? I don't know how many members there are, what instruments they play, where their next gig is or anything much about them.

Take things like this a show me at the start. Don't make me look for it. Make your content more obvious.

Think of your guest as a monkey looking for a bannana. If he doesn't see it right away, he looses interest. Show him the bannana!

I just re-re-read this post. Lord, I sound negative. I don't mean to be negative. If I was to condese it all I would say 1)Don't assume that your guest likes the band as much as you do. 2)Keep the site map simple. Clarity before cleverness.

Good Luck!
