Please check out my new web site that is a work in progress. I am learning how to build my own sites as my former web master is too busy.
http://www.rottenbrothers.com Input is requested. Not required if you are going to be rude and not critical. Ah, screw that, be critical. I now longer accept negative criticism. Company policy. Will

I like it! If the whole performing thing doesn't work you can now do websites... Okay that may be a little thick but I really do like it.
I really like your opening page the only thing I would do (and its a small change) is make that image a link to what ever you think the next page your viewer should go to is. I would link to "The Show" or "Meet the Brothers". But other than that I've got nothing. Great site! Fitz

Nice site,,,comment, thought the blue tinged pics were a bit dark and could have done with either a talk over or music background.
Your more clever than me,,,it`s all I can do to send a mail let alone build a site,,,well done, if that`s your first effort look what you could achieve on the next one ! Ken |

It's a great start, with a mix of all the things you need. The words, movie, and layout are good (ain't iWeb grand?). On second thought, tighten up the pitch. If you can knock 30% out of it, it'll be much more concise, easier to get through, without losing interest.
With the photos, there's a problem. Most of them are from a little distance, with full-body shots. You need some close-ups, both individual and group.

Thanks for the input guys!!
Fitz, I'm using iweb and it is a template so I don't know if I can make a picture a clickable link but I will look into it. Ken, iweb is grand. Still need to find some royalty free music that isn't lame for the site. I agree with you on that. I suppose a voice over would be easier to do than to find good royalty free music. Thanks for the idea. Harley, I will surely cut the pitch down if you thinks it's too long. My photographer is a gypsy and I'm trying hard to get him back in town this summer. We shot most of those photos at an undisclosed site as we were almost fined after being caught doing them with out a permit. The sun set faster than we had hoped so we didn't get as many shots as we need. But it was fun shooting renegade in a swamp. That isn't a set, actual swamp with alligators and mosquitos. We were covered with bites, from the mozies not the gators. Keep the input coming. I really do appreciate it. p.s. Doug, have you ever seen a sideshow where you saw all that was promised?? We do acrobatics but we ain't chinese.

Yes. My shows always gave more than promised. (As should all.)
I want Chinese acrobats that know how to dish out some good noodles. But...idiots will do.

Alright fellas I took your advice and tinkered around with it.
I couldn't change the title of The Show to The Cast so I moved it further down the line and made The Cast shorter and moved a few of the photos. Not sure if I like that or not. Might lose a few of them. Recorded the talk with garage band using a megaphone effect. Turned out pretty cool I think. Can't seem to have music or VO start automatically. iweb has it's weaknesses so you have to click play. Go the "The Show" to hear it. So if you feel like it check it out and keep ripping it apart. Doug, I'm sure we all have a little chinese in us, or have had a little of us in chinese?

Dave,
I would guess Doug is referencing the amount of imports we have in the US. To set things straight it was not Ken that pointed out I was using iweb it was Harley. How ever did you know? Another record to set straight, the tip does see everything I promise, just not exactly. I don't walk on all fours but I do eat a guinea pig. One more thing. Is it Bally Hoo? How is it spelled? I want to change the Bally Talk to Bally Hoo. Just want the spelling correct. Maybe I'm way off with Bally Hoo. I don't really know but I bet one of you do. Thanks again guys. I have found this particular group to be the most caring and sharing than any other. p.s. Fitz, I figured out how to make the photos a clickable link. Great advice. Thank you ever so much.

Okay if your still looking for music here is a site that has a ton of royalty free music at a very reasonable fee. They may not have what you want for your website but this is a great resource to have. They will also have many other products that are helpful when putting anything from posters to demo videos together. Beware their products are addicting and I will admit I am a digit juice junky. In fact all of the music for my show comes from this site. So I hope this helps and I hope you don't spend as much time on their site as I have but they do have some really cool stuff. Here is the link http://www.digitaljuice.com/products/pro......1&pvid=8
Oh and be sure to sign up fore the deal of the day because it could save you a ton and check out their tutorials if you are into editing video yourself. http://www.digitaljuice.com/djtv/default.asp Fitz

Fantastic collection. Thank you Fitz for sharing such a gold mine. I have never, ever, liked royalty free music but this stuff is good!
Now if I could only find out if iweb can play music automatically with out people having to click the play button. So far I haven't found a way. Nonetheless this is great music for our show. I love the fact there isn't lyrics. I have book marked it and will be spending dough, I'm sure.
