These are example pages, not a finished website. Nothing is published, nothing is bought. Tell me what feels wrong and I will rebuild it. Below is the list of decisions I need from you, in the order that matters.
這些是範例頁面, 不是完成的網站. 還沒有上線, 也還沒有買任何東西. 告訴我哪裡不對, 我就改. 下面是我需要你決定的事, 按重要性排序.
This is the first-person version of the biography, written from the October copy draft. It says "I bought my own cymbals", "I keep the numbers small enough that I can still be good at it". That second line is my addition, not yours — it is a line about staying good at teaching, and you may not want it on a website.
Read the About page aloud. Anywhere you would not say it that way, tell me and I will rewrite it in your voice.
這是十月草稿改寫的第一人稱版本. 「我把人數控制在還能教好的範圍」這句是我加的, 不是你的話 — 如果你不想讓這句出現在網站上, 說一聲我就改.
Every year on the timeline, every credential, every number. The ages, the dates, the "1,000+ gigs", the "15 years", the two studios, the 金鼓獎 division and date. I have flagged the ones I am least sure about on the pages themselves, but I want you to check all of it.
Anything wrong here goes live in your name. Tell me the corrections and I will fix them everywhere — the website, the newsletter, the press page, the charts, all of it.
年表上的每一年, 每個資歷, 每個數字 — 全部請你確認. 寫錯的會以你的名字公開. 告訴我怎麼改, 我會把網站、電子報、媒體頁全部一起改.
Right now the Lessons page shows every price, including the 4-pack and 12-pack totals. Some teachers deliberately hide fees behind "enquire" — it filters out tyre-kickers but loses parents who wanted a number before they wrote. Your call. The numbers themselves also need checking; they came from the October draft and I have not confirmed them with you.
目前課程頁有列出所有價格, 包含 4 堂與 12 堂方案. 有些老師會選擇不公開價錢. 數字本身也需要你確認 — 那是十月的草稿數字.
Currently: Home, About Don Chi, Method, Lessons, Free Charts, Press, Contact. Seven pages.
Things that might deserve their own page: a dedicated FAQ, a workshop page, a separate page for each chart, an online-students page, a "book a band" page for functions and corporate work, a jazz-clinics page, a Chinese-only landing page for the Taiwan market.
Tell me what to add, cut or move.
目前七頁: 首頁, 關於 Don Chi, 教法, 課程, 免費鼓譜, 媒體, 聯絡. 有沒有要加、要刪、要移動的?
The current direction is warm paper, ink black, bronze accent, a serif for headings. It is meant to feel like a craftsman's studio — a music shop, not a software company. Deliberately not: bright gradients, rounded cards, stock photography, icons on every heading.
Two alternatives I could build instead: darker and more performance-led (near-black, concert lighting, the gear as hero) or warmer and more handmade (more paper texture, more of your charts and handwriting as the visual language). Say which and I will build it.
目前的方向是溫暖的紙感, 墨黑, 銅色點綴, 標題用襯線體. 想做「像手工工作室」而不是「像軟體公司」. 也可以改成更暗更像演出現場, 或更手工紙感 — 說一聲我就做.
All the 繁中 copy is written in Taiwan-standard written Chinese, and I have kept the tone plain rather than formal. But you are the one who has to read it to a parent in Kaohsiung, and the Chinese title — 高雄爵士鼓教室 — is a proposal, not a decision.
Alternatives: Don Chi 爵士鼓工作室 (studio), Don Chi 鼓室 (short and warm), or simply Don Chi on its own with 高雄爵士鼓教室 as a subtitle. Also tell me whether you want 教學 vs 教室 vs 工作室 — they carry slightly different weight in Taiwan.
所有繁中都是台灣的書面語, 語氣偏白話. 但中文標題「高雄爵士鼓教室」是提案, 不是定案. 另外請告訴我: 教室 / 工作室 / 鼓室, 這三個在台灣的意思不太一樣.
Right now the wordmark is just Don Chi, with 高雄爵士鼓教室 · Kaohsiung underneath it. Your call whether the subtitle stays, changes, or goes away.
One practical thing worth your attention: donchi.com is already taken by someone else. The plan is to build on donchidrums.com and buy donchi.tw and donchi.com.tw as well, redirecting them. But that is a decision with a bill attached, and it is yours to make.
現在的字標只有「Don Chi」, 下面是「高雄爵士鼓教室 · Kaohsiung」. 另外: donchi.com 已經被別人註冊了, 所以計畫用 donchidrums.com, 再買 donchi.tw 與 donchi.com.tw 轉址過去. 這個要花錢, 由你決定.
Every photo slot on these pages is a placeholder. I need from you:
Phone camera, natural light, no production. That is genuinely enough.
This is the most important one. Read the pages the way a parent would — sceptically — and tell me what made you wince. Pricing that feels too cheap, a claim that feels too big, a line that sounds like a brochure, something that is not really how you teach.
I would rather rewrite it now than defend it later.
這一題最重要. 請像家長那樣帶著懷疑讀, 然後告訴我哪裡讓你不舒服. 寧可現在改, 不要以後被問到.
Once you have answered, I will rebuild the pages, write the final copy in your voice, and prepare the production build on WordPress — Hostinger, Polylang for the two languages, the chart download system, the booking form, and the schema. That part is roughly two to three working days, and it needs one thing from you that I cannot do: your Hostinger account, because it needs your email and your payment method.
