- Maybe even make the thumbnail nav a bit smaller.
- I don't understand the purpose of the OPEN/CLOSE button of the thumbnail NAV. So you get to see an extra 200 pixels of background image? I'd get rid of that, it doesn't serve a real functional purpose and just confuses users.
- Thumbnail NAV left and right arrows: The rollover state has a drop shadow on a gray button. It just looks like it's blurring the button. Get rid of the drop shadow and just make it turn white.
- Thumbnail NAV: It would be nice if I could use my scroll wheel to scroll horizontally for that instead of having to use a button. I'd imagine tablets would like the same functionality but with using swiping.
- Too many fonts :) Way too many. Make the focus less on text and let the imagery shine (while still allowing the information to be easily read and digested)
- Move the Search box thingy up more, just about all the way up to the top.
- Shrink the logo. Tell them no if they say make it bigger.
- In the main navigation it says "Come See Me" and when you rollover it you see a link to see the FULL SCHEDULE. Why is that hidden? I'd imagine that's probably one of the things that users will want to find. Make it easily accessible. Make it part of the main nave.
- Overall, I think the slides and transitions look good. However, I find navigating around the site a bit difficult. To the average internet user, I'd think it could probably be fairly tricky for them.
- The "ME" section. Drop the mic and bike thing down. Make those items that you can click on SCREAM, hey check this stuff out. I'd imagine downloading an app or promo photos being something fairly important.
- I'd move that footer up top because it feels more like a main NAV instead of a footer.
I'd offer up suggestions on how to fix the design, even if you're only the developer. Just tell them that you had it critiqued by folks on a website called cue-be-en. If they say no, say OK.
Oh yeah, they're in Philly 215. Me too.
