Can I have people's opinion on this site please? Website Feedback.

Not much content to work with so was hard to space out and very hard to use seo so also if someone could comment on the seo side too that would be great.

It's a record shop but the client wanted to make the online shop in prestashop himself and not finished yet so not linked up.

Not sure what I think of it now it's been made.

Thanks :)

I don't know much about design but I can give you some feedback from a casual visitor. I really liked the graphics. I thought they looked really original and interesting. The fonts and other stylings you used really work well too with the image you were trying to create. I was as little confused about the "call to action" aspect of the site. Did you want me to buy something or join a community? Is this a physical group or place that I go to or is it strictly online? It took me awhile to figure that out. The mailing list input field didn't quite fit for me. Not sure if I think it should be moved or just styled different. Overall it looks pretty sweet I'd say.

It definitely has a retro feel. The events page is a throw back to the 60s and visuals they had at every venue large or small. The transition of it could be smoothed out a bit so you don't get the sudden stop and reload feel at the end of the slide. Overall it looks good. The SEO seems sound. The gmail link doesn't go anywhere, I'd take that live considering they are asking people to engage with them. The twitter page link works and has a bit more info on their opening. Which is good. As well as their facebook page.

On the about page the share with us button is confusing. It goes to the events page, I'm not sure why or what that 'share' is supposed to mean.

The community page: I was expecting a forum. Or at least a bit more info on how to connect with them. If they have an actual brick and mortar shop invite them to it. If not just add all that to your contact page. Or if it's a work in progress that's fine too.

This is all info for the site owners. You've done a good job translating their desires to a website, however they need to think a bit more on how to connect to their audience.
