First Look: (3/10)

Loading is fast... that's good!! Oh no a splash page, you don't need that at all!! If I was you I would get rid of that! Your layout looks unprofessional, you might consider taking a look here. This site provides pre-made layouts! Will explain more in the layout topic! My first look also shows me that you haven't been updating for a while... that is not good!

Layout: (7/20)

Well how am I going to explain this??
When you make a layout it's always important that everyone can see him without having to scroll through the page! I have 1024x768 and I have to scroll, it's not much but enough for some people to be annoyed!

The background pattern is to heavy, it's better to use 1 color as background or a soft pattern! Your header is well blend, but just like the layout to big! Always keep in mind that everyone should be able to visit your site without scrolling to much!

I think it would be a great idea to use a pre-made layout, these are not only for people who have no graphic skills but also for people who want to learn more about layouts! You can always change the headers of those pre-made layouts so that it has something self-made too!

Content: (15/20)

I'm not going to critisize your content to much because it is well done, you offer enough information for the average visitor. Just one tip: Try to find special things that keep visitors coming back. If this is not an amazing layout, than try to keep them coming back for your content. I think that there is much more information on Shane Filan and I'm sure that you can find it. Besides your games there is not much content that keeps people returning!

Organisation: (10/10)

Nothing to say here.

Errors: (7/10)

The only thing I have to say here is: Check your affliates, fanlistings and other stuff. Some of them have moved, some are closed!

Coding: (4/5)

I found our code, thank you!
Your coding looks fine!

Graphics: (5/10)

Nothing too impressive. Although your animated avatars are well done!

Unique: (3/5)

For the games!! Nice games you have running.

Overall: (4,5/7)

Well this site needs a better layout and maybe some more content. I'm not here to hurt you, I just want to give you advice. Always remember to find things that keep visitors returning. About your layout, I should really consider using a pre-made layout for a while. Just untill you got enough inspiration and information about how to make an amazing layout. On the resources page you can find good sites!!

Bonus: (1/3)

Will give a bonus for the games.

Final Score: (59,5/100)
Percentage: 59,5%
