Hey everyone. Our site, http://pollerbare.com has been live for about 10 months. It's a site for indie musicians to post their music in a downplayed battle of the bands theme.<p>We have kind of put this project on the back burner because we don't see how we can monetize it right now.<p>For a while, we thought we should pivot to pictures (become a hot or not/dating site, ehhh) or videos (via youtube). We even finished sketching up the UI/UX for the videos pivot, but pulled off last second.<p>Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
1. The UX needs some work. It looks late 90s-ish.<p>2. The name is a little cheesy. I'd really consider changing it.<p>3. It's not immediately obvious how to play songs. Can you put a play button under each song? Ditto for picking the winner - put a "This is the best song" button under each song.<p>I do like the music though. :) And it's a cool idea. Have you considered approaching local Battle of the Bands competitions and getting them on the site? Sell it as a all-in-one promotional type of thing.
The logo looks cute even though I'm not sure what it has to do with music.<p>I agree the user-interface needs a lot of work. Maybe a nice splash page which clearly shows what the site is for could help. Splash pages don't need a lot of design...even a large picture would do. I was just looking at Path's site (<a href="https://www.path.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.path.com</a>) which did just that.
