First Design Feedback

[tractor 0]

This is my first 'kinda good' design. Just wondering what you think.

It will expand slowly with links and other pages.

I am thinking something like

-Home
-Radio
-News
-Discussion
-Sponsors

Feedback please, I know that it isn't great, it is my first. But for its purpose it looks ok.

It looks OK, and should expand well into a full-scale site.One thing I am slightly concerned about - there was nothing on the radio when I tried to play it. Is that just because the site is in production, and there is no-one broadcasting, or is there something wrong?

That was because my computer should have been broadcasting last night while I was sleeping but windows updates restarted it and it got restarted.

It is back up, and I have added sponsors and copyright | Disclaimer. News bar soon.

Still not playing Also, the link to the disclaimer drops onto a new line below the copyright, so covers the purple border of the footer. Perhaps put the Disclaimer link on the right hand side of the footer, on the same line as the copyright.

I love the current simplicity of it all. You go to the page, you open to a radio. You have the option of expanding to a huge audience. Everyone loves music, you can open up a discussions forums. Have shout-outs, requests and competitions where you announce the winner on the radio.The layout of the site is fine, simple and nice looking. I'm listening to the music now, I like the music; upbeat music. Perhaps have messages in between songs. Give a name to the radio station and between every other song say "X Radio, <insert slogan>". Doesn't have to be your voice, could be a computer generated voiceThe points you made, yes, go with that. Your gonna have to start recruiting a team though. Help with websites, with the radio and forums. The in's and out's would have to be up to you.

May I ask witch browser you are using? It works fine for me with Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explore.

@Forbez

I hope and generating a request script soon that would be in a popup window that would then send to a admin panel.

As for names, I can't think of any.

The only real advice I have is for the design. The concept of the site is great, and you seem to have some great things planned for it.I think I would make the sponsors bar a bit wider, to accommadate for longer links later on, and to make it stand out a bit more from the other boxes. I would also bring it below the "Radio" banner, just to give the banner some emphasis for the visitor.And for the boxes, I would add some text (most likely a different color), at the top that indicates what information the box contains. Just like you have in the sponsors bar.Other than that, it looks really good for a first-time design. Great job.

Thanks for the feedback.

The only other thing is that if it gets big it will be bandwidth eating.

However, it does work in Konqueror:

Hmm I am not sure about compatibility, it works fine for me.

Very weird, it is set to autostart also.

The problem might be something to do with the 21 coding errors on the radio page

Hmm, I just used bluevoda to do it. Hardly did anything by hand. How would you code this?
