House of Blues Dallas has a great calendar. It is short, sweet, and to the point. I also like how it shows the first 10 shows on the homepage.
Gilley’s Music has a decent design, but their calendar is very appealing with all the photos they incorporated. I really like how they added a colored triangle on each photo to show what genre the show is.
Granada has a solid design. Great visual with the colors on the links. Their calendar has great functionality, although I’m not a fan of the calendar layout rather than a blog style layout. They also color coordinated the shows by genre. The have decent social integration and the ticket but is easily visible.
I like the looks of the home page. It shows a few of the upcoming show’s poster designs. It puts the address front and center and the social links are easy to spot, also. Their calendar is a little messy, but I like the looks of the show pages (when you actually click on a show). I don’t get why it doesn’t show up on all of the shows, but I love how they add arrows on the show pages to switch back and forth between shows without having to press the back button.
This site has a great simplistic design, although it is a litter over-sized. I think everything could be shrunk about 70% and it would cut down drastically on the scrolling issue. Same problem with the calendar. It is really long. The show pages are a little boring, but they have great social integration.
The only thing I really like about this site is the way the background image stretches across the screen and switches out on a timer. I think this would be really cool with some great venue shots. I don’t know if I like the design of it, but I like the main nav being at the bottom.
I love the design of this site. The rustic textures and the color scheme. The client really like the fun navigation. He wants to do the same thing with this site, but with the different bar logos. They have a great calendar design and layout, also.
I like the simplicity and color scheme.
The color scheme is pretty and subtle. A little too tame for a venue in my opinion, but it’s clean. The design is great. I like the tear off paper behind the logo and the way they list their upcoming shows on the home page.
I like the look of their calendar. Everything else is pretty gross.
This site is beautiful. I love it! The style is great. The color scheme is great. The way they listed the upcoming shows on the home page is great. The show pages are a bit boring, but they have amazing social integration and a great side bar. The calendar is short and to the point and still really pretty. This site is by far my overall favorite.
