Any comments are appreciated.

Keep in mind, this is all constructive criticism

I find the black background and white box too much of a distracting contrast.
Perhaps I expect too much out of people, but a tableless XHTML/CSS design is perfect for this type of structure!
Is that the company's phone number on the top-right? If so, I wouldn't have seen it had I not been criticizing the site.
What's up with the music list [black text on black background]?

In case you aren't sure what XHTML/CSS is, Devarticles has printed a new article, An Introduction to XHTML

Tableless design is using <div> tags instead of full tables. Tables are expected to be used for displaying data only, not to structure the design of your site... Most users have no idea about this, but to some webdevelopers, tables are considered an old-school way of designing...

Now, the problem with using <div> tags is that you pretty much have no control over where they go or what they look like... this is were CSS comes in. CSS is used to structure the presentation of your site. Simple things like font and colors, or complicated things like positioning and print-layouts...

XHTML/CSS also has a hidden benefit. By implementing such techniques, not only are you keeping up with the future of web design, but you are unknowingly keeping your site acessible to those with disabilities and special-suited browsers.

There's a wealth of information out there as far as tableless design goes, so I dare not even touch the depths of it. I hope instead this is a simple introduction for you, and its now up to you whether or not you want to follow through with your own research. I suggest some articles on the Devshed network, or other sites just like it.



As was discussed in your PM to me, your music displays fine in Internet Explorer... It seems that Frontpage has done something fancy that only IE will understand. When I first tried your page, I was using Firefox 1.0 final, and in using firefox, the page displays all black (unless I highlight the words with my mouse). Viewing it in IE6 works fine...

Depending on your visitors, you may be interseted in testing the sites on all browsers to insure compatibility.
