http://www.signaturesounds.com/listen/
This is one page of the Parlor Room/Signature Sounds website.  We are interested in being able to embed some of the music from our studio recording program.  I like what they did with this page in particular.

I also like http://www.signaturesoundspresents.com
Which is the homepage of the full site, that there are options for liking and sharing events.
Way cool feature.

I like the look of this site.  The big photos, the quotes, the font.

http://www.erinmckeown.com
I like the layout of this—the menu big and on the side—looks great on the computer; though I had trouble figuring out how to navigate it on my phone.

Describe why you like them-

            Purpose of the site

.

4. Describe the layout of your site. 
Think about what is the most important? What is the optimum order of your links?

The way it is currently laid out is fine.  The biggest issue with the site is that I couldn’t do drop down menus in the program, so it gets funky.  Also the pages should all have a similar feel.   

5. Where is the data for these pages? Do you want to update it? 
Or should we start with what is currently on the pages?  Start with what is there.  I might pull some of the videos and we could possibly do a page for videos and listening.

6. Who is going to input missing data?  Probably me

Are they willing to be the liaison to Springfield? yes

Will they pick up and respond to e-mail daily?

yes 

7. What kind of pictures are you interested in using? only photos that have been taken here
 Do you have photographs? yes

Have the models signed off? yes
