Kotebel - Please review

[edoplaza]

Hello everybody,

 

I just finished a web site of a famous Spanish/Venezuelan progressive rock band called Kotebel:

 

www.kotebel.com

 

I know it's full of validation errors, but I use too many widgets and <objects> which never validate.

 

I am mostly concerned with functionality and design so, please, let me hear what you think. Critics are welcomed.

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Eduardo

Not all errors are due to widgets - the favicon code, for example, should be in the head section, not the body. <br>s are not meant to be used to create space.

 

Overall, I find it pretty boring and it's hard to read the text on the black background. There's not always enough contrast to even see it well.

 

I also think the point of a hover is to emphasize what's being pointed to, but your hover fades away what I'm looking at. And the footer seems a bit large and empty.

Hello Andrea,

 

Thank you for your review, I am sorry you didn't like it!

 

Cheers,

 

Eduardo

Not all my points are based merely on like or not like - some are facts.

I know, but this phrase:

 

"Overall, I find it pretty boring"

 

is the last phrase one would like to hear

 

Cheers,

 

Eduardo

Of course not - but you wanted to hear what we think and that's what I think. Do keep in mind, so, that the boring thing is a totally subjective evaluation - to me, it's boring, to somebody else, it'll be just fine.

 

However, the link to the favicon NOT belonging into the body but the head section, and <br> tags not meant for creating space, those are just FACTS.

[edoplaza]

Ok ok, you are right. I'll change that. The <br> tags are not mine, by the way (if I remember well). They belong to the client who uses Cushycms to edit the front page and the "concerts" page. I won't ask him to learn how to write a HTML clean code, that would be too much...

 

Bye!

 

Eduardo
