Yourmusicmuse Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 http://bit.ly/tETwto Let er rip! Need all the help we can get. My brother-in-law and me are running this out of my basement with no funding and we have never created a website before. As a secondary critique please let me know if the cleavage on the spokes-model is too distracting. Thanks! Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Since it's not an attempt to get views, I've shortened the url for you and changed your displayed name to remove the TLD extension from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourmusicmuse Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 That seems reasonable thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yourmusicmuse Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Come on people! Seriously no reviews yet? We busted our asses on this thing and want to know if there are any problems with it before we launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khavelka20 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Hi, This is the brother-in law. I just wanted to come in here and say that we have really poured our heart and soul into this project. For the last 5 years I have been working in IT and want to get out of the daily grind, dealing with red tape, executive egos, and the corporate politics. This project is the culmination of our efforts, and we are just looking for some honest opinions. We are also looking for instructors!

Pikachu2000 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 You have to understand also that the primary focus of this site is php, not design. The critiques board exists as an ancillary feature, because it's related to the main topic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khavelka20 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Ok, thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinM1 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It's pretty nice. On the index, I would move the SiteLock image up a bit so it's inline with the Sign Up button and Facebook button. You may want to see how putting the "We Currently Offer..." and "Coming Soon..." groups side-by-side rather than being centered atop one another. There's just a lot of empty space on either side, so it makes the site look a bit top heavy. I'm a bit torn on the footer navigation. I like that the look mirrors the header navigation, but since those links are clearly not top-level in terms of importance, giving them such treatment is confusing. I keep wondering if some of them should be brought up top (like, say, the FAQ link). It's something else to play with. Certainly not bad the way it is, but it's triggering my Spidey Sense. Page-By-Page - Quick Tour: Bring the "Everything you need to know about MusicMuse:" image up a bit. You should probably bring the shadow above it up a bit as well. Learning: The term "Cores" in the side navigation is a bit confusing as "Fundamentals" is a synonymous term. Also, "Multiple camera angles" of what? Video? Still pictures (since you mention printable music in the item above)? You should go back and tighten up the language used on this page, as you're making assumptions that the user knows what you're referring to. Teachers: Bring the teacher listing up a bit (similar to what I suggested on Quick Tour). Make each row highlight on mouseover, and make each instructor's name a link to their profile as well. The rest is spot on. Hell, I may use your forms as examples to other users on how to make them look attractive. Overall, nice job. Try playing with some tweaks, but there's nothing fundamental that needs to be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

defeated Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I like the site but there is one really important thing missing.... How much? Related to that is .. How Many? I may like the look of your videos, but without finding out how much it's going to cost and for how many lessons I'm going to go somewhere else... within a minute. I'm not going to go looking for it either. If I don't see it I'm moving on. I hope it works out for you. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yourmusicmuse Posted November 18, 2011 Author Share Posted November 18, 2011 We just got that and have no idea why that happened. I am sure Kyle can get on here and go into more detail about it. Weirdly it happened soon after we started a free adwords campaign. Not sure if that was just a coincidence or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khavelka20 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Looks like the shared hosting server we had our site on may have been hacked, we are in the process of moving our site to a new server. The malware notice may persist until our site is removed from googles blacklist. What a nigthmare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The malware notice may persist until our site is removed from googles blacklist. What a nigthmare! I always advise people to avoid shared hosting. There are plenty of reputable vps vendors like linode that are only marginally more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khavelka20 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Got it repaired, looks like they got a hold of the FTP passwords. Will have to change it more regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
