First Look: (7/10)
Nothing particualarly attracted my attention, no images whatsoever. It looks quite professional in that sense, but slightly boring. Perhaps you might want to think about adding an enter page, so you could place an image on there. Remember, the most important part of an enter page is that you include the requirements of your website. By placing an image on an enter page it would lessen the viewer’s first impression of your website looking plain. I also think you should use a coloured scroll bar, but choose colours that would match your website.
Layout: (16/20)
As I said before, nothing draws me in making me want to spent a good half hour on this website. It may look professional, but that is useless if nothing attracts the viewers. The navigation was easy to find, but not labelled. I don’t think it is needed, but you may want to see if having a ‘navigation’ title looks better than none at all. I like the hearts you have on the layout, and I’m glad you haven’t gone over-board with them. Whilst I was looking at your layout, I have seen a few grammatical errors, but I’ll go over that in the errors section. There is a dash line underneath the line which is underneath the ‘Links’ link. It’s completely unessecary. It makes your navigation area look untidy, as it’s longer and unalligned with the navigation links. You should delete it as you already have a line separating the linkboxes and navigation links beneath the ‘Links’ navigation link.
Content: (14/20)
As you don’t have many pages I am going to do this page by page.
Personal:
I’m pleased to see you have an area dedicated to you, as it’s nice to see what the webmistress (or master) is like. The picture is just ever so slightly (hardly noticable) out of line with the text. I think it would look better if it was in line. I think you should add a coloured scroll bar here, and put it on all the pages, as well. There is no need to have the words ‘An Unbiased Description’ all beginning with a capital, instead, you should just have a capital for the word ‘An’.
Photography:
You have taken amazing photographs – well done. You might want to add your link onto each photograph as stealers do come and go and they may try and take credit for your hardwork. I also like the way you’ve alligned the pictures to the centre, it looks much nicer than just placing them wherever.
Ramblings:
Again, you need to think about where you put capitals on the sub-headings, ‘internet/web related’ and ‘today’s society’ and finally ‘history’. The first word of each sub-heading should begin with a capital.
Graphic Trends:
Again all your sub-headings need to begin with a capital. I don’t really see the point in having a graphic trends page, but I suppose it is rather nice for the visitor to know what they should, and shouldn’t, use when creating their websites. I have to add, that this is quite a unique and unusual idea to have as a page, so well done there.
Killer Kitties:
I think this page is rather pointless, but since I’ve never known about the idea of kittens with guns, quite informational. I, like you, don’t see the point of it. You may want to centre the main text, like you have done with the picture and credit link.
’That’ Autobiography:
Umm….all I can say is what? Are you mocking people or something? I don’t get this page at all. You should add why you’ve written this and if you think it’s a good way to write, ecetara. Also, may I point out the fact that people talk like that – they don’t write in that way.
How to be cool:
You say you’re against labelling, yet you’d label a crowd ‘cool’. You are also not describing ‘how to be cool’ you are describing labels – emo, goth, punk, chav. I don’t know why you’ve put this, it’s completely unneeded. You should put at the bottom ‘Don’t take this seriously’ or something along the lines of that. You also need to work out if you’re for or against labels as you seem to be contridcting yourself.
Meaningful ‘Poems’:
Again, you’ve labelled and contridicted yourself. You'd think we'd have learned where capitals are supposed to be A contridction – you don’t know where to put capitals. Like the other two pages above, this page is meaningless and stupid. I think that your calling chavs ‘the cool people’ which…they aren’t. You also have larger spaces in between the words ‘grammar’, ‘mistakes’, ‘and’ and, ‘surprise’. I would delete the extra spaces.
The golden age of exploration:
I don’t really get this page, but that is probably because I am not an american. I don’t think that people would be that interested in your article, but then again, I am not american so I can’t really comment on what you think is important.
Extra:
Your pixel patterns are very cute and good quality. You may want to add some more at a later date, though. Why not create some blends and whatnot for this page as well, as it seems not to have much content at all.
Domain:
I like this page, it gives all the statistics and credit needed. I also think that your buttons are of high quality and attractive, so people will want to put them on their webpages. You also may want to add why you’ve chosen the name ‘Season Fresh’.
Links:
I’m pleased to see you’ve not bundled them all under one sub-heading but evenly spread them out and given a lot of sub-headings. Again, you need to use capitals in the right place, but I’ll go over that in more detail in the errors section.
Organisation: (10/10)
(Thankfully) Everything looks extremely neat, and it’s all well organised. There’s not much else to say – so well done.
Errors: (6/10)
I found I lot of grammatical errors, considerably when it came to capital letters. Make sure all the first words of sub-headings begin with a capital letter and likewise when you’re blogging. Also when you are using dashes, make sure you either leave not spaces between words eg: ‘sub-heading’ or spaces before and after each word, eg: ‘sub – heading’. You’ve put them like this ‘sub- heading’ which is grammatically incorrect. On you’re personal page, you’ve written, ‘I was borned in California’ when it should be, ‘I was born in California’. Also, in you’re ‘Extra’ page you have written, ‘The are original’ when it should be, ‘These are original’. I can’t seem to find any spelling errors, just grammatical. I cannot find any broekn links or pages, either.
Coding: (5/5)
I found your link easily enough, so you get a bonus three marks in this section. I also think your HTML is definitely up to scratch, with no bad HTML on your website
Graphics: (7/10)
I adore your photos. If you don’t already, I suggest using a tripod so you get a steadier hand when taking pictures, it will also allow you to get the photo perfect. Your pixel patterns look great, but maybe you should create some avatars or layouts and whatnot using them, so your visitors can see what they can use them for.
Unique: (3/5)
I think that taking photos of the enviroment is fairly unique and I have never come across it before, so I am going to give you a few extra marks.
Overall: (5/7)
Your website is looking fairly professional, but slightly plain. I also can’t help but think that there should be more to it – I mean, you’re an able web-designer, a good photographer, so why don’t you put the two together? You could make fantastic layouts. Everything is neatly organised, so well done.
Bonus: (1/3)
I am going to award you an extra mark as I think this is one of the most professional websites I have reviewed in my time.
