Wip Ams Website Alternative Music Society

[Goosestaf 0]

hello anyone whos been kind enough to view my thread
This is Bassicly the Alternative Music Society homepage which is still Heavily a WIP. Its bassicly going to be a source of information on the alternative music scene of worcester and a general palce for any people with alternative music views to join and chat. It doesnt currently have a forum but i'm workign on that
It's made with Joomla!, and the theme is one i foudn and HEAVILY modified, to the point that its not recogniseable.
I've got to change the navigation and colours of some backgrounds etc, add the content sections properly and intergrate a forum. . . .possibly SMF.
BUT i might change direction and install community builder and intergrate Joomla Board. Theres also a few graphical glitches.
It doesn't validate, but i've got it to work fine in IE, FF and Opera.

It will feature:

[+] Forum and user login/ control panel in main page
[+] Latest Forum Posts module
[+] Album Reviews
[+] Show Reviews
[+] Venue listing
[+] Band of the week/month
[+] News *(including YTMND off the day)
[+] Latest show list

anyways. . .. . don't rate it as yet. . . . just tell me what you think, and any other ideas you have for the site.

Well, the error 404 page looks very nice, but thats all I can see. Are you sure thats the right link?

Yes, I got the 404 error too. But I have some criticism on the 404 error page. The box is broken, try making a middle part of it as a background of the table cell.Also, the contact webmonkey link doesn't work.

SORRY , i was having some problems with the backend, so i made the decision to start over. I thought it was something wrong with a file etc, but after experiencing the same error again i realsied it was browser issue . . . so i'm using Opera now to do the admin work.

First glance, and the page attracts my attention, that's always great.The search shpuld always have an enter button, even though you can hit enter on your keyboard. The typical computer user will try to find stuff with their mouse first. The black and white striped bar on a white background takes away the effect. Also, make the background colour a grey and see how it looks, I don't like the white. Basically, too much dark grey for a white background, but a good design and layout. Keep up the good work
