Hey pedalpete,
Good show. Tons of smaller feedback:
-"Feature Artists" -- should be "featured"
-you have 3 distinct styles on the rhs list, for date/pic/details. I'd say go with one and make it work, it looks cluttered. Otherwise the design got a lot slicker! nice!
-"featured artists" -- two-line genres go on out of bounds.
-right column header should left-align to that column's boundary (it's sticking out left, at least in chrome)
-orange-colored div is duplicate content w/featured artists (at least in my area) and pushes the map below the fold.
-okay, taking another look, I get it now: the orange-colored div is associated with the map. you could make that clearer by grouping them visually -- bunched in one div, for instance. but I actually don't like that choice for what goes on the homepage map: I'd say put the featured artist events on the map, and kill the orange div.
-I second utnick's suggestion for a weekly digest
-I still don't like the adsense, but I like maxklein's suggestion to only show it on secondary pages: you'll keep most of your money (I'd guess that you'd get 5-7 pageviews per visitor on avg, which means you'd lose 15-20% of your ad revenue) and make a much better first impression.
-The player needs to be higher on the page! that's a rad feature and it needs to be above the fold. Kill one of the "artist" sections (featured, rhs, orange-top).
- pedalpete 18y agothanks for the comments shawn, unfortunately ads can't go on 'secondary' pages (I'm pretty sure) as you aren't allowed to load adsense in an ajax request (terms of use). When you say 'kill one of the artist sections' you mean kill one of the styles? or actually get rid of a section? I might not be understanding what you mean by orange-top, which you mention twice, but I'm guessing you mean the artist you just selected which shows with an orange bar at the top? I think people might get lost if I don't show them what the artist is that all the new data is pointing too.
- shawndrost 18y agoactually get rid of one. I did mean the div you're talking about, but I didn't understand its function in your site fully. now I see that this is really a one-page app, and that that div is critical, and that you can't show ads on secondary pages. that's a tough problem, dunno what to say; I still think the problems I mentioned (music player should go up higher, ads shouldn't appear on first impression) are still problems, and if you can figure out a solution, it'd be grea. what about making the music player smaller to help fit it in with another design element?
