What do you think?

What do you guys think? I updated it as per suggested here, to not use frames. I think I like the look a bit better this way.

Does it look too plain? I am looking at it at 1680x1050 resolution, and there is alot a white around it. Now your average Joe is probably using 1024x768 in which case the site pretty much fills the screen.

The email form is working fine, but I wrote it quickly, and I need to add some error detection, i.e. blank fields.

Any suggestions?

Thanks Adam :)

Which links don't work? They should all be working. Maybe I was updating the files when you were looking at it or something.

too much white.
I'm using 1152x* res

looks fine. I wouldn't widen it. Just let your content do the 'filling in' for now, and then decide what you want to do. Maybe choose something other than white as a bgd color to take some of the sharpness from black to white out.

Looks good, but I suggest restricting your table to 800 maximum, not 900. "Average Joe" uses 800x600.

Still?

Still?While many are moving up to 1024, and it looks like the overall average may be equal for 1024 and 800 with a move upwards towards 1024, w3schools suggest webdesign horizontal be restricted to 779.

Considering the amount of 800 width users, the webdesigner needs to address the needs of both 1024 and 800 site visitors. 640 users are used to sideway scrolling by now.

Newer retail computers are set for 1024, but not everybody has a newer computer or monitor. 1024 width on a 15" or 17" monitor is pretty small.

Those photos are a little strange. Sorry, but they are givin me a headache. I actually like theblack on white, give the site itself a bang effect. But these guys are right, make it an off white maybe. Like a light gray or something. What kind of band are you? You should have bios about the band I think. I dont know who you guys are! (sorry?)

[Tim]

currently stats are 28% at 800x600 , and 67% are 1024 and above.

I find many entertainment sites are starting to go larger than 800, but there is still that 28%

[Bogie]

Stats vary based on the demographic of those polled or monitored. Depends on what type of websites the users are visiting. If for business, the above stats are close, but for personal surfing, using "non-current" computers, the 800x600 is still more commonplace.

As you mention Tim, 28% is still a lot of computer users. I would rather design a website for 800x600, and include all users in a pleasant site visit, than otherwise.

Alright, fixed the template a bit. I think it is easier on the eyes now.
