marsmelons.com - music & art label

I’m just about getting ready to launch a site I’ve been working on for well over a month now. I’d just like to get some feedback from you lot before I fully launch it. Any constructive criticism, tips on how to do things, suggestions, positive feedback etc are all very welcome!

The site is netlabel for music and art, and can be found here;

MarsMelons.com

All the graphic on the site is made by me, most of the cd-cover artwork too, and most photos taken by me as well. So, let me have it! :)

Re: marsmelons.com - music & art label

This is pretty nice. I generally like the design, but the music is really great. The only glitch I saw is when your titles wrap to two lines, the line-height is pretty tight (example). Just downloaded the Blaendvaerk EP and am currently enjoying it.

Cool, man! Nice to hear, I’ll pass it on to Blaendvaerk. :) I’ve fixed the line-height now. I’m not 100% done with the site yet, trying to fix a lot of small design issues, but will hopefully be there soon. Great that you liked the music! :)

The site indeed looks cool.

Tip: There is a “dead” link in accessibility nav. The #sidebar-1 points to container only a image inside ;)

Thanks! :) I don’t really get the accessability nav, it only appears when my site doesn’t load correctly – is that what it is for? I haven’t deleted it since it was already in the code, and most of the stuff in the textpattern code seems to be there for a reason. ;)

TXP is empty canvas and none of the default code is required or for reason there, other that showing how it works.

Not everyone can use web pages as it is, or see it as we see it.

For blind, text readers, adhd, bots and those who just want to read web pages with out styles etc.
