Site Name
Uck. Why do you need the word ‘designs’? So many sites have it; it’s getting boring. ‘Amazing’? Wasn’t there a better word? Why’d you need the hyphen?
It’s too long, and to be honest, sounds totally lame. I mean surely, after you didn’t link me and your email didn’t work, you could have impressed me a bit more?
Coding and Validation
Your coding has 193 errors.
But hey, come to think of it.. the coding wasn’t even by you! So while I’d really like to flush your site down the toilet at the moment, I’ll move on. I’m not going through your errors; there’s really no point.
Your CSS has 77 errors.
I’m not looking through those errors because you didn’t even do the CSS yourself.
Browser Compatibility & Usability
According to Browsershots.org your site looks the same in most browsers. The same = boring.
Your navigation isn’t clear enough. It’s tiny.
Layout
Splash pages are horrible. Yours is boring and pointless. Splash pages are really only necessary when you have skins, or if your site is a collective of sorts.
Not only are you using celebrity images which is totally illegal.. your splash page isn’t even nice. You don’t need it, so get rid of it. It’s a bad first impression, and why the hell would I want to click a link to enter your site? Can’t I just type in your URL and be there?
Obviously not.
When I enter your site.. ‘banner designed by Blubberblue.vze.com’ is displayed on your header, and Thanks to Innocense Graphics for the Site layout and CSS is displayed in your sidebar.
Clearly you didn’t make this layout yourself. I have no reason to review it. Even if it was made by yourself, it’s got celebrity images which is illegal.
No further comment, no originality.
Content
Like I’d want to link you with some crapass flashy distracting GIF image of Vanessa Hudgens with your site name on it.
Tag box comming soon? I think that should be coming? And soon? When’s soon? It’s been two days since you applied and I still don’t see it.
I still don’t see my link. You said you’d add it ‘as soon as possible’. You’re supposed to add it before applying. Clearly, you didn’t read my rules. At least I’m still nice enough to do your review.
Yet you put a massive banner on your homepage so people can get reviewed at Tangerinetales.Voltagebox.org. That’s just rude.
“Affies” should really be “Affiliates”. And you didn’t even link half of them! What the hell is this? You just display their button on your page without even linking to their site? That’s just really rude.
Designers
Your symbols in your text are annoying. Upside down exclamation marks? I don’t think so.
Bella’s page is ‘coming soon’ and there’s dodgy celebrity images on it, and the banners which they’re in aren’t even made by you.
Julia’s page has nothing on it. Order from Julia? I’d think not, seeing the lack of your own graphics on your own site.
Tracy and Ruthy’s page is just a repeat of Julia’s page, and to order from them – the link leads to ordering from Julia. Hilarious.
Hmm, I WONDER what to expect from Perla’s page? The same thing! Oh wow! And apparently.. we must order from Julia as well!
Overly dodgy.
Packages
Do you understand the difference between singular and plural? Don’t think so.
You don’t have 3 link button, two blend, you have 3 link buttons, two blends. See the ‘s’? Hmm?
Your banner on this page was made by perfectly-designed.com. You really think I’d want to order something from you? Seriously, tell me. What’s yours?
Premades
None yet. None yet. NONE YET? NONE YET?! What kind of site is this, far out. I sure hope no one orders from you. Who would want to order from someone who gets all their own graphics made for them? Hahaha! As if!
Well, that’s it. There’s nothing on your site worth looking at.
Originality & Creativity
Zilch. I can safely say that nothing here is original. It’s either:
1. Not made by you.
2. A celebrity image, which isn’t original. Or creative.
Organisation & Errors
Yes there are errors. And things look like a mess. Pfft.
Overall Comment
Your site is boring. You didn’t put any effort into it. Make your own layouts, and code them yourself, to start off with. Highlight the purpose of your site.
Start from the beginning. Use your own graphics and be more original. No one wants to see the same stupid celebrities over and over.
