First Impressions
[note]========== BEGIN - First Impressions ==========[/note]
My first impressions are - WOW! I was very impressed right from the start. I mean you really have something special here. Just from first glance I can tell that you really put a lot of thought into this. Everything fits where its supposed to and unlike most new sites, its organized. I am very happy you thought everything out before creating this site.
Excellent work.

Design Quality
[note]========== BEGIN - Design Quality ==========[/note]
Man I just have to say right from the start - I am super impressed with the design of your website. It's absolutely stunning.
I like the disclaimer that pops up right from the start that tells that there might be some explicit content. The only thing I would recommend is that the text was a little light and I had to squint a little bit to read. Maybe you should look at that see if you can make the text a little bit darker for ease of reading.
I then went to browse the rest of your site and was thoroughly impressed. I love the huge scrolling images. They play an important role with advertising and fit your music niche greatly. I ilike th tabs at the top. They are plain, simple and all you need. Everything is very clear and is easy to read.
I like the layout of your artists page. I think its unique to have the pink numbers flashing and changing with different categories each time. It's quite ingenious actually. It's a first time I've seen anything like that.
Overall, I'm very impressed with how the site is laid out, the quality of the design, and most importantly the "sexiness" of it.

Business Aspects
[note]========== BEGIN - Business Aspects ==========[/note]
So let's talk about business here. I think you have a unique niche that could gain some potential quick. I mean we see many sites with band promotion (such as Spotify, lastfm, etc.). However, I think you have a particular mindset to really showcase the artists on the site. I think that is really, really awesome. That is what is unique.
So looking at your packages, they seem fairly priced. You have a unique website here where there really isn't too big a market, money-wise, for this kind of stuff. I like your three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. I also really like that you have a free package. I think that is important to begin your site with because without members being able to test run the site, they will be hesitant to join.
Speaking of testing out the site. Do you have a "trial" version that artists can use to test out your site? I think that could be a real great feature to include on your site. By allowing users to test,they can then promote it to other artists they know. All artists are friends with other artists for sure. Also, maybe you should include a section for feedback from the artists or have something private to make sure that the artists are satisfied with the service you are providing.
I don't have any access to your stats, but I would just recommend doing a lot of SEO work and really working on your page rank to get more views.
Also, one more quick thought. I think you really need to, right from the start, try and get me to add my music. Right from the start I want to know why I should join, what incentives you are offering me, and maybe tie that in with site stats and PR.

Good
Originality
[note]========== BEGIN - Originality ==========[/note]
You have a very original site here (to my knowledge). There isn't too much to say here because I think you can really become successful if this takes off. I mean you have a great niche that not many others are capitalizing on now. More than ever, with YouTube and stuff, artists are trying to get their music out there one way or another. Your site is allowing them to do this, and being a musician myself, I thank you for your service to the industry.
Great work.

Excellent
Site Structure
[note]========== BEGIN - Site Structure ==========[/note]
Your site is structured very well. I feel like whenever I had a question about where something was located I had a button that would take me there. I think its vital to a site's success to be easy maneuverable. If it isn't then you clearly have an issue.
I like that I can see the About Us section, the Store, your blog, and contact. I mean those are the crucials that some sites lack, but you were smart enough to add.
Overall, not much to say because you have great structure. Everything looks phenomenal.

Spelling & Professionalism
[note]========== BEGIN - Spelling & Professionalism ==========[/note]
Just from glancing at the forum, reviewing your content on the home page, and your artist section - everything looks great. It looks like you take your time to proof your writing, edit it well, and don't post it unless its perfect. I am very pleased with your ability to write.
The site comes off as super professional right from the start. Your spelling and proper grammar simply add to your overall success of being a successful site owner. I don't have too much critique because I think you've nailed it spot on mate.

What could I do to make you (the Reviewer) join my website?: Really sell me on the front page about why I should join as an artist
