Welcome CQT247

Are you a web designer? LOL

Date: Mar 2 11:51 PM, 2006

Try not to make your website all about YOU, YOU, and more of YOU as you will come across as the most vain person ever. Your picture says that already!

Watch your grammar and spelling as your "advertisement" is dripping with mistakes.

Finally, you've received great advice from people on this board. I suggest you follow it. Good luck!!!

@ PRIETO (some notes, pointers, advice and input)

- This is a website about you, DJ PRIETO...so it's also your resume on line....keep it short and the font legible

- Most importantly you have to promote yourself a lot to have many steady visitors if you want your website to be popular and your name immediately recognized

- Do not copy!!! Be original please....that goes for design style, pictures....etc

- Make sure the mixes don't take forever to download, that's so annoying, people will get frustrated and leave.....that will be tricky since mixes are usuallu 5 min or more.....people can get bored

- like X said...keep it simple please....and like Mark said dont over-do the design.....but also dont make it booooring

- If you are running this site like a business, register your DJ name so you can sell stuff....you need a GST # as well...

-keep the colours simple on the site, dont over do the flash, give credit where credit is due especially with music....

- A foro would not be such a good idea for a DJ site....waste of space and time

- Have a guest book for people to sign...I call it the "I didn't know I has so many friends before" section....lol

- And lastly....UPDATE THE SITE often please!!! Especially to post where you are playing next and upcoming songs.....that's all people care about really, so don't be extra!

Good Luck!

Note: You started off on this thread saying "my team" and the rest was all "I"..."My"...."Me"......just from the beggining you should have said Dj Prieto's Website.....pretend to have a PR Rep and represent yourself in the 3rd person to seem professional.....lol
