for some reason the website is down - it should be up within the hour tho

Not too bad. Images are a bit large ( byte wise). Also try appying a style to the links on the main page to take away their underscore ( text-decoration: none should do it).

It also doesn't look good in 800 x 600 so I'd stick a recommended specs somewhere.

I'd also get away from yahoo as it's service is shit, try somewhere like bravenet for free hosting.

Also on a final note every child page should have a back link to take you back to the main page

hmmmm i mostly agree with red on the site, i dont really like the look of the image, dont no why, text can be improved. You should try mapping your image.

I'm assuming this is open to constructive criticism.

First thing to remember with using image maps for websites is that the you have to be right on the line with size and quality

Adobe Photoshop allows you to do the this very accurately

Also the background for the main image map is really nice and if was smaller would make your site more accessible but what ruins it for me is the drab times new roman font that youve used.

If your going for a full image map site then i dunno what packages you use but you'd have been as well designing the text in with the image and then used dreamweaver to slice it.

In photoshop there is a layer effects option that allows you to get some nice effects when used on text layers.

I find the best combination is to use photoshop then dreamweaver.

Anyway hope that was helpful

Nice ideas though.

dont put your lyrics on top of backgrounds, you cant read them. also, use thorough colour scheme throughout your site. maybe also a main menubar, so u can visit any section without having to click that back button etc.
