I checked out MTV.com, a very popular website to check out new music, win prize and check out events, concerts among other things. Obviously this website is aimed toward the teenage crowd, then again one can been surprised by the occasion 30 yr old man or woman who loves MTV shows or something...
Which they are some scary people i might add...
Regardless, I clicked through here and there. Checked out a couple of things... and it worked out pretty well. Main page has easy access to everything, from music videos, tv shows and the thop three 3 things of the day. The menu tabs on the top work pretty well, i had no issues with loading time.
I can find certain albums with no problem, yet their selection is somewhat limited..... then again i might be looking in the wrong spot for certain types of music... but for new music it works out pretty well.
I noticed that each background for each page is different, but it is suttle and i didnt find it annoying. But then again, maybe some folk might find annoying. Or then againg they find it annoying because its the MTV website and no other reason behind it.
All in all, i think the website worked pretty for the type of audience its aiming for, i saw no major issues that would be abnoxious or would make me want go to another website with similar topics on it. If i was one of those MTV teenage kids who watch it religiously, i would be on the website on a constant basis and not be pissed about the layout, schemes or how slow it loads on my computer.
Anyway, what do you think? i know it hurts to visit such a disgusting website.... but you never know, our kids one day might enjoy this nonsense! LOL

I have never visited the MTV website and after reading your post, I have decided to check it out. It's true, you can find what you are looking for, but I would think that given its audience, the site would be a bit cooler :)
The design is ok but it looks like there is somewhat of a disconnect in the layout. It almost seems like the creative team gets to create only the backgrounds and miscellanous graphics here and there and the main page is done by someone a lot more conservative. Judging by the ad banners, my guess is marketing department :)
