Flawed Thinking & Information Design
I recently discovered Concert.tv in my digital cables ‘On-Demand’ menu - If you enjoy live performances it’s really impressive, all their interstitials are clean, bold and graphic, and with their wealth of content it’s easy to kill an afternoon watching. I assumed that with a name like ‘concert.tv’ they’d have an equally impressive website - it’s not bad to look, but don’t look too close, it’s a flash site that IMHO fails at almost every turn.
- I can’t bookmarks a specific artist
- I can’t link to, or share any of the video content
- Lastly the back button is useless
Okay so those are both kind of excusable, but in their TV ID’s they show CONCERT.TV/PERFORMANCES, and CONCERT.TV/SINGLE SONGS - (Both featured shows on the channel) and on the web? 404 - now if that isn’t a missed opportunity I don’t know what is. If your going to name your channel after your website, your website better deliver.
If they’d like some help making their site a bit more user centric - they can give me a call.
