Wayde, as it presently stands, the menu bar has to be that length to be that wide. I see how some can perceive it to be an eyesore, but for the basics of what chuck does, it gets the gist, out. Who wants to wayde (sorry for the pun) through pages and scroll down to hear about how great the dj thinks he is or what he can do. I personally would leave the sales pitch to the phone.
Now I'm not talking down Chuck's approach, he has well written paragraphs, my site, eh not so much. My site is mearly there for the SEO and presence. Everybody has their own approach and I try to respect that.
Very rarely does one read through all the sentences in my site, the internet is designed for quick blurbs and then call. I know when i look for a company on the net, I just look for their number and dial dial dial!
I also wanted to incorporate chuck's tat into the design (per his request) we wanted something that was part of the main concept and overall theme, this appeared as the best place to put it, anywhere else might have been an eyesore altogether, the body would be NO place for this. This worked great.
BTW the design was inspired by us, with the help of chucks words. We generally design a page based upon our clients target audience. I try to match colors of the company, mine is a bluish color, business cards, and other print and advertising media going around within my clients company.
The online templates only do so much and can sometimes be more trouble than they are worth. We provide end to end design work, for no more than what you would typically receive in 2-4 events. We also do after sale upkeep and support at fair hourly rates, even for current sites if you are not a diy'fer. To me, having a good web presence at a decent price is worth it. Compound it with premium web-hosting at the ODJT discount price through me and you got it made.
