Hi I made a website for my girlfriend (actually ex as of friday) and I wanted some opinions;

Are there any things about it that scream "created by a wanna be"?
Any suggestions as what I could do to make it more functional or just plain better?

She is a young singer just starting her career and its purpose is information ie. bio, rep and things like that. Obviously she is a woman therefore I tried to make the site a bit feminine. The layout is quite simple and that is what she wanted.

There might still be a few typos and stuff like that I am still trying to work out the bugs so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

and the link

Sorry to hear about the -ex.

The site looks great! For the intended audience and the subject matter, I think it is beatifully restrained and appropriate.

Can't help you with the typos - I don't speak French

Perhaps it's lacking one thing that I may expect from a singer/musician's site... AUDIO!
Computer thez nohhh...

Thanks, as for the audio all the recordings I do have of her she isn't happy with nothing so there won't be any until records again.

No, not at all.

"Repertoire" not "repetoire".

like the site very much, clean and simple.

Couple of points though. Don't like the typeface you used for the menu in the top right corner, it's just a personal preference though. Also, no need for a 'last updated' feature, looks a bit amateur and can look old if you don't update it very often

Apart from that, good work man!

You didn't.

Apologies.

Something to do with connecting data flow between brain and dictionary this end.

Very elgant site. My only comment is that the navbar in the top-right disappears when viewing the photographs. This isn't a major problem, but could be an annoyance to visitors who decide they want to look at other areas of the site after viewing a few photographs.

There is space for the navbar. Why not put it in and save the visitor a few clicks?
