First off, from a professional point of view, .wix.com? Get a domain name.
Second, even on the pages it has Wix come up. I strongly advise you change it and buy a hosting package from GoDaddy or something.
Then the design, fonts too small, and it has flash - meaning it won't work on most phones, not even my iPhone... So, I'd get rid of flash, by getting rid of Wix...

Copy your design either stealing the HTML code, and ****ing with it, or you can start a new one and learn HTML or get software to help you.

P.S. My site was done by my mate, and it's quite poor, and I'm going to be changing the domain name in a year, as it's not what I want now.

Here's attachments of my new design, which I've designed. I'll be putting out in 7 days.

As you can see, it isn't finished. But it's way better than the current one.

I would ease up on the dropshadow/ outer glow.

I feel like your proportions aren't ideal, are you using a 960 grid? The name at the top is way too big.

I wouldn't use that font for the options, I would use a webfont.

Not a fan of the random shapes you used, It makes the website look out of balance.

I'm not using a 960 grid system, no. Why would I want to use a web font for the navigation? For compatibility reasons, or readability? If compatibility, I'm saving them as images, and coding them in, like that. I thought they were pretty easily read?

I was going for a more matt looking, unusual, classy look, rather than the cartoon feel you see on most Hip Hop sites. Maybe I haven't pulled it off, my skills aren't very good in design lol.

Thanks for the feedback!

my first impression was the opening page. flash websites are harder to incorporate SEO...just throwing that out there

Here's the design for my new website, this is not the final draft, i haven't completed it, cause as you see i haven't brought the domain, but I was hoping I was going along the right lines

Yo dude

I don't know about the intro, because I've never used that type of thing on a site.

When your audience gets to the real site, however, you gotta have something there that will hook them in. If you're about beats, there has to be a stream of your best beat with a big ass play button. If they like the beat, they'll either buy or read more about you.

I got to your main page and wanted to roll immediately. If a site's about beats, I want to listen to beats- not read.

Good improvement, but that intro pissed me off so much... I was like 'I just want to see the site, we you take so looooooong!!!!!!!!!!' I'd definitely get rid of the Flash if possible on Wix?

Oke, the 960 grid is for compatibility with different screen sizes, just make sure you don't go too far off or other screens won't show all of your content.

I think a "normal" font for website functions looks more professional tbh, but If you do It your way there won't be a compatibility issue.

I'm not a huge fan of the colorway, and combining It with the shapes and too mush dropshadow doesn't convey classy to me.

I would rather go with a deep color, like a darkblue perhaps.

here's a good website for inspiration regarding color-combo's:

I'm currently designing my own website, which is a hard task because you can get extra hard on yourself.
Here's a little screenshot, It's still in It's earliest stages (pretty shitty quality photo):
