New layout maybe?

waddup, not dissing make tunes as im a big fan. But i notice this problem the first time i logged on. Its Layout is a bit messed up and the site navigation is a bit sloppy. I think with a re design of the website and some clever interaction tools could see big things for this site.

Hmm.

One of the things I like about Maketunes is it's stripped back easy to navigate look. I don't like websites with too much clutter. This site loads in an instant as well. It seems more about functionality rather than fancy shit here there and everywhere.

Hey Ian, what layout problems did you specifically notice first time you logged in? I'm interested to hear your thoughts on that. What navigation issues do you see?

its nothing really bad that i noticed. As a music producer its great to have a place online to hang out and talk to other producers and artists on the fly as there are always members online willing to offer advice and tips, and to me thats your unique selling point. I understand that websites can get too cluttered, but that doesn't mean you have to take the visual content away completely. I refer to what i said about when i first logged on, I seen loads and loads of text and for me thats a turn off straight away. To little text can also be tacky but when you get the right balance, visually its more effective and as a result it will lengthen the stay of your users. Im not dictating to you by the way, and i honestly do love the site. the point system is a very clever tool. To display the highest users like a chart is a great incentive to use the site. I also think there should be a small sign up fee for membership as it appears alot of work has gone into this project. This is just my opinion so its not factual.

Much respect
Ian Mc

I don't know about that it seems to work fine for me just the way it is now I think matt and the gang did a good job of keeping it simple, it doesn't take long to register (even though that, to me is the only draw back having to register to download but at lest it's quick) the people I send here seem to navigate just fine.... the guy how I'll be signing with had no proble getting to my music........so matt, you may add a video section maybe but other than that don't change a thing.... (I always hate it when sites "upgrade" themselvse all the time)

I disagree with Ian mc.
If there had been a charge It would have stopped me from signing up.
I believe a website should be kept as simple but functional as possible.
The layout of maketunes is fine.

Its just my opinion.

Yea everything is fine with me... Maybe a different color scheme but that's not really important..

BUT.. what would be nice is a live chat page for registered Maketunes members...
