This is a site for a fledging "musicians support and referral network." The website is designed poorly with lot of bad backgrounds which change on each page. Their pages also contain little animated graphics, which are not required. Their site also needs to be proofread because there is a lot of bad grammar and also typos. Their Home Page title is Index, which is not proper web designing technique. All the sub-pages are on Geocities. They also contain lot of animations, which are not required. On some pages the animations block the text, which is a serious webpage design error. I also notices that the geocities URLs apparently forward to the custom domain. Certain backgrounds are just bizarre (Ex: Blue on Purple) which causes strain on the eyes. Many of their images are also "resized" meaning they are shrunk from their original size and pixilated, another web design error.
Suggested Changes:
1) Proofread the website and correct all grammatical errors and typos.
2) Change the backgrounds to pleasant colors which do not cause strain on the reader’s eyes.
3) Keep standard backgrounds on all pages.
4) Reduce the use of animations.
5) Redesign the animations so that they are not pixilated and also do not block the text on the webpage.
6) Play a short music file (if necessary) and not to loop it infinitely.
7) Rename the Title on the Index Page to the Companys' name.
