Does my studio website suck? Gainesville, FL

Regional activities, relevant news, job openings, studio searches, local beer nights (not a forum to plug the new album you just worked on)

Yeah, I don't know, but spelling does count on the web.

Yes, the sidebar is just a little busy. And I would change the bright green. Everything else looks great.

I think the site is not bad at all. The one thing I would change and I saw it right away was the green color. Try something different, a color that doesn't stand out so much. Otherwise, a nice site.

Wow. "Contorl Room" was a big one..duh.. i think my brain does that flip the letters around thing sometimes. Good thing it only took 3 minutes to fix.
Thanks for that, man!

HA - that is pretty funny. I kinda figured you were being silly about it...

I am definitely not the one who should be talking about spelling though!

Overall, the site looks great. A couple of suggestions:

Upon first impression, it is obvious that the site is for a recording studio, but THAT IS ALL that is obvious. You may want to add a tagline right at the top (or include it in your logo) to crystalize the point of the site. A quick tagline of "A full service recording studio in Gainesville, Florida offering Pro Tools recording at discount rates" would effectively tell your visitor right away if you are what they are looking for or not. This will also help you in your SEO efforts since it is much more targeted. Your site may not show up on google if someone types "Recording Studio," but your chances are much better if they type "Recording studio Gainesville florida." And since that is the case, it wouldn't hurt you to include that same info in your meta tags for each of the individual html pages.

The only other thing I can think of would be the left navigation panel. All the content is there, but it seems like it could be divided into a couple different categories. You might consider separate categories for "Gear Lists" and one for "Photos"

Looks great though. If I weren't in Michigan I'd be thrilled to go record some stuff there. I also have a special place in my heart for Less Than Jake.

Mike
