Now that you metnion it, the orange might have been a bit red though it did not come through very red. My noitor is a Mac flat panel 17" so I con'nt think there is anything wrong with it. More importantl is that you picked up on the main point which was that the basic theme may be a bit too dark for the general business market. Frankly, and I do not at all mean this as an insult in anyway, I just felt that the Vodoo thing and skull thing was bit "high schoolish".
NOw don't get me wrong, I can see some hip type stuff being in the area but your site seems to be directing itself towards the main stream business community. Therefore, I would suggest taking a page from some of the more traditional advertisers on the web. As a for instance, I have a marketing company that is involved in the music business. One of my partners is young but he has worked for Motown and various other companies and really has a good feel for the business. Nevertheless, when he designed our busines cards, they had all kinds of designs and logos and so much stuff it was hard to tell what was going on and, it just did not feel like a business card.
The point is that though I feel the music can have loads of personality, I also feel that you should leave the personlity there and the general business stuff should be rather dry. It gives the ijmpression of professsionalism, that you mean business and that you are so busy you do not consider a business card as something that you should spend considerable time on. Moreover, it igves th einformation straight and forthrighet without any fluff as if you are saying that you work speaks for itself. Other than all that, to me, a plain white card with black writine works.
In realtion to a web site, I think that the fact that ther ewas alot of space in your site was good. It got to the point and that was good too. The tounge in cheek stuff...be careful, you never want to offend anyone. Oh and by the way, that is another reaosn for neutral in business interaction or interfacing...no offense to anybody.
For instance, maybe a potential customer just had a death in the family. They might be turned off by the skull thing.
As for the music, I hope I did not give the impression that I thought the music was not good becuase that is not the case. I was merely suggestion some other dirictions you could take. And, by the way, the diversity in the music was very nice. That, in my opinon was very good and business like as were the voice over stuff.
One last suggestion (sorry to ramble) but, how about a demo phone call or on hold message. That could be a potential strong market so it would not hurt to have only one example of a radio station and one example of an on hold message. If there was one, my apology. I listened to it yesterday and can't recall exactly if there was or was not such an example.
Anyway, it shows great courage and initiative to ask people for thier opinions. That alone is impressive. To that I say goodspeed.
