A small suggestion for the music on your first site.

The music quality is HORRIBLE. It's skips and it choppy on all the songs(I'm 100% sure it's not me). Try fixing the music quality a bit.

Also, your site lacks much of any navigation. All the links are on the top of the page, maybe put them in an acuall nav table(the music site).

On my computer on 700 and something DSL it works fine. If your refering to the video on the Home page at the time of this post (5/24/06) the video is ment to scratch and skip. It is not the quality it is just how the video is. The navigation system is my next thing to change on that site.

Just a few quick suggestions:

-Try varying up the fonts. www.acidfonts.com is a great website to get some fresh fonts.
Remember though, fonts that you have might not be fonts that we have. Try putting them into an image file and substituting that image file where your text would normally go. Cool fonts definitely add kick to any website.

-Symmetry always looks nice. Perhaps line up the links in the top using the <center> or <align> tag.

-I like the black and red. I like the black and yellow. I like the black and white. But somehow the black + red + yellow + white seems a little distracting. An idea would be to stick to a colour theme... Pick your fav three colours: a background, a contrast and an intermediate. Work with those and add variety by selecting different shades of those colours, e.g. firetruck red, scarlet, dark pink etc.

-I find the flash/title banner with the scrolling & expanding text to take away from the site's overall appeal. It looks a little too flashy. That's just my opinion.

-Grey mouseovers... consider revising to suit your colour theme

-Pictures say a thousand words. More images would surely kick up your site's flair. How about a picture of an electric guitar, something with spikes (I'm not too familiar with the metal genre but I think you catch my drift).

-Try compressing your website. I didn't check the source code but if you've built the website with tables, try tweaking the table's width to say... "900" and center it. It depends what you're going for. I personally like to leave some space on both sides.

I hope that helps! Those are of course just my suggestions. Great start and keep up the good work!

okay im going to do this in the format you did so i dont have to quote idvidual items.

-I like keeping the fonts unversal and not use new fonts. All the fonts i use come standered with Microsoft Windows XP computers.

-I am going to change the whole navidation images so this will be taken care of already soon.

-I will work on a color theme after i change the navigation system and if you have any color suggestions please tell me.

-Im not sure about the flash part but what would you place there instead?

-i am working on some pictures.

-My tables are automatic so they will automaticly adjust to fit your screen

thank you for your suggestions,
Ill Devil Inc

You have good contents to envy but the way you have arranged or placed the contents are not the best, there is room to improve. I wouldn't mind you retain the color combination since it suits well with the name of the site. It is a wonderful idea that you choose those two colors and mix it. It is a plus point I should say.

After we scroll down the tables and are done with those the content below look very messy. I think you can still put them inside some table or box to give a better look. And instead of keeping the width to 100% it may be better to keep in 800x600 pixels so that for those with high monitor resolution they won't have to look east and west.
