Re: You cannot hurt me - my wings are like a shield of steel

Mr. Will,

I take it Ezio is a band. It's not terribly obvious when you first get
to the site, and not knowing a thing about them, if I stumbled across
the site, I wouldn't really know what I was looking at. The statement
across the front, "... new look Official Merchandise site" almost makes
me think that the group is called "New Look" except that it's not
capitalized. If the only way to find out about this site is after
someone already knows about Ezio and they want to buy merchandise and
they're given this URL, this is all OK.  But with search engines and
other webmasters looking for links, sooner or later other people will be
stumbling across it wondering what it's all about.

As for the layout, it's very nice. I like the graphics,
not-too-cluttered screens, just a little animation, and mouse-over
highlighted menu buttons. You do need a "home" button, though.

On the Order Now page, I think the second line, "Click here to send
email..." is kind-a weird--I've not seen a graphical version of text
just fit right in amongst other text like that before. Not a big deal,
though.

I guess that's all from me--good luck!

Heya gang,

I am new to this here list, but after reading a couple of digests I must
say
this is exactly what I have been wanting for some time! THe opportunity
to
have my sites examined and advised by some of the real HTMLers and the
chance
to look at other sites too - what more could a man want?

Anyway I am ready for the floodgates of abuse for my sites - so if
anyone
wants a gander and to cut loose on this guy here, I have a URL for you

http://www.planetsound-arts.co.uk/ezio

Basically I am webmaster (ho ho ho) to my company Planet Sound Community
Arts.
I have been putting bands on the Web for about one year, gaining in
experience and all that, but never really had my site critiqued before
(man
the aniticpation of abuse!). This band are quite successful and have a
full
range of merchandise they want to sell via the web (I could go into
record
company deals and merchandising contracts, but not worth it really is
it??)
and mr.Will is the guy who has attempted to help.

All comments are appreciated.
Can I just ask, is the critique here of graphic design, HTML, coding
choices
or what?
I'm not entirely sure what to be looking out for on the list......
