I have designed a site for fans of an indie music group called Smoosh. They are from Seattle, Washington. They are three young sisters. In the site there are clips of performances, and pictures, and a timeline of their history.
Also, there are some fan fiction submissions.

I use Freewebs.
the link is The Smoosh Files | If you wanna take the music serious, you gotta have fun doing it!

Any critiques would be helpful.

It lacks focus. Develop a theme, and stick to it.

It's not very attractive. You have too many fonts and too many colours, and the purple background is way too 1994.

It's slow.
Create thumbnails for the pictures, don't let the browser resize them for you.

Ditch the music, it's annoying. Give the user and option to play it instead of just cranking it up.

Lastly, if you want anyone to take it seriously, by a domain and pay for hosting.

Wow! ditch the music its annoying. That I cannot do. You see That happens to be one of the demo's for the immensely popular Rad, which they released in 2004. Okay. I guess you probably never heard of Smoosh. But okay, I guess over all the site sucks. At least to you. Funny thing though... all the people on the Smoosh fan message boards think that site is all the shizniizzle. Whatever that means. Kids today. We use to say neato, the point being the people who I aimed the site at like it. I just wanted to put it out there in a professional forum to see what real webmasters think. But hey for giggles, go to the Classic Smoosh, or the Free To Stay Link. There you will see a mock up ad for Seattle's Best Coffee.

I don't know what those guys would think. They may have never heard of Smoosh either.

Why do you even bother posting? This thread is quickly turning into the last one you posted...you don't like what you hear, and you don't take any pointers.

If you and everyone else who knows who Smoosh is think the site is good, mission accomplished. If you wish to improve on the site, take the advice offered by people who do this for a living.

I wonder why people put their site up for review but really don't want them reviewed?

Because they seek affirmation of their work.

So we should just tell them they are great and move on?

No, we tell them that their site is crap and move on.

Frankly, that site is not the best I've seen. There are other Smoosh fan sites that are much more organized. Your videos take too long to load, if you want so many, turn them into links or something, but do not have a computer freeze up just because it cannot load your immensely buried pages.

You need more organization, and find a page where people can contact you or whatever.

It is absolutely preposterous that you will not accept this constructive criticism.

Thanks.
