First Impression 08/15
Gah. Right off the bat there's something that bothers me - your ENTER image background and the background color are not the same color. I'm assuming that you only use IE, because the backgrounds match on there. You get 2 points off for making me switch to IE. Ewww - I do NOT like small popup boxes like you have for cliques, fanlistings, etc. You give no warning that they open in a new window, and then the boxes are so small you have to scroll up/down and left/right to see everything. Hopefully your layout is better than your splash page.
Layout 03/10
I like making lists, so here ya go:
- 1. The boxes brush seems out of place, and the butterfly brush matches nothing.
- 2. See the blank space in the image? It looks bad.
- 3. The WELCOME message is nice, but not needed.
- 4. The navigation is so cluttered.
- 5. The links to xpose and exentrique seem really out of place.
- 6. There is a lot of unused, blank, grey space to the right of your image.
Navigation 02/05
Although I like your skulls, your navigation looks very cluttered and is hard to read without hovering over the links.
Organization 14/15
ABC order makes me happy. Other than the links to xpose and exentrique seeming out of place, your site is well organized.
Graphics 7/10
Your main image is lacking, not only in color but also quality. Your avatars were of good quality though, so I don't think you're a bad graphic designer, you just failed to take time with your main image in my opinion.
Content 5.5/10
ME :: Your welcome to this section gave me a taste of your humor, and unlike the welcome to your blog, seemed like it belonged there. Nothing that really held my attention, but it wasn't horrible. A longer bio would have held my attention a little longer. (5/10)
VISITOR :: Nice avatars, blank buttons, and pixel adoptions (YUM DONUTS!). Dolls aren't my thing and glitter images are overrated. It would be nice if you specificed what program your brush set was made for. Deskmates are cute, fonts blah, wallpapers are okay. Lots of content, kept me interested. (9/10)
COMIC :: Interesting stick figures, once again no warning of opening in a new window. Maybe once there are more comics this section will be more interesting, but right now it leaves a lot to be desired. (2/10)
CAM/ASK/EXIT :: I'm combining these because I can. The usual setup on all three pages, decent. (6/10)
Total score for this section: 5.5
Coding 08/20
You have a few coding errors on your splash page: You're missing a document type (DOCTYPE) declaration and you forgot a DIV end tag. On your main page you seem to want to close tags that aren't there : DIV, TABLE, TR, TD, and SPAN. Your CSS is a mess. You have other coding errors, so check out www.w3.org and use their HTML Validator and CSS Validator. You get some points because although you have a mass amount of errors, your site's look isn't affected.
Errors 08/10
I noticed a few grammar errors, but nothing that made me want to call the Grammar Police. The one thing I noticed that needs to be fixed is your BACK links.
Bonus 05/05
Five Senses page and 7 Deadly Sins page - I haven't seen those before. You also get points because I enjoyed your writings.
Reviewers Note
(Sorry it took so long) I enjoyed your visitor section, but the other content is lacking. Your biggest deduction of points was from your layout. Your other graphics are quite good, yet your layout is lacking. I could see myself coming back to your site for your writings, but not for your content. Your site has great potential - good luck!
