wow, thanks for the mock-up, very helpful. It can be done. I’m not sure we can move the band info the smaller column easily, but I can definitely put some music in the bigger area. Thanks

I meant that when you enter a band’s profile page, their songs are not visible straight away. You have to click the songs tab.
BUT, in your case the situation is not as severe as you can at least see “recent songs” immediately.

I would still give “recent songs” or “top songs” the main focus and move the band info to the side as follows:

Keep up the good work!

Hi Sauli, I’m olivier, one of the two uvumi creators. Thank you for the kind words. The last two days have just been crazy for us. The site has been around since march or april, growing very slowly and it just started blowing up yesterday. We’ll do our best to meet expectations now we get a lot of feedback.

Not sure about what you mean at the end though: “you have to click a link to see a band’s songs”. How can we make it better? If something is wrong or missing, it’s not necessarily because we wanted it exactly that way and no other. There might be better ways we did not think of.

Anyway, thank you for posting about uvumi
