11.19.11 | FF | In-Depth | Ashe


First Impression: Upon entering your site, you have a knick knack shape site. Your site is very cute & it has high quality shields. You are very organized but the one thing that caught me was your updates, you only update a couple times a week or less than that. I would mention that you should update about three to four times a week unless you cannot. Your site has been open since 9/23/11, & you made 55 Custom shields & 88 Pre-made shields. That's a total of 143 shields in two months. Nice! You are off to a great start! Good job (:

Score; 16 / 20 Points.

Layout / Quality: Now onto your beautiful layout. Your layout is high-quality & it is passionate with colors. You layout is set up so well you can navigate through your site like that.

Score; 19 / 20 Points.

Content: You have the right amount of content a site needs. I was looking through all of your shields & I noticed you use only three or four fonts for the text on the shields. I would suggest being more creative with them. You would take a big step in making them more better. And practice doesn't hurt either. Take a look below :



Okay above ^ I put up two of your shields. These shields have the same font, and this all I am seeing with all the other shields with text. It looks all boring with the same font & it looks all dull try a new font, it would look much better.

Score; 13 / 15 Points.

Spelling & Grammar: I found a couple mistakes :

Mistake: Welcome to NeoScrittle, a neopet graphic site run by Ashe.
Solution: Welcome to NeoScrittle, a neopet graphic site ran by Ashe.
Instead of run, it should be ran.
And I think that is all. You had well organized sentences and grammar.

Score; 9 / 10 Points.

Sitely Info: Your sitely page is well organized and clean. I went through your affiliates & directories and they all have you & no dead links. Nice!

Score; 15 / 15 Points.

Overall Impression: Overall Impression, I thought you have a sweet little site. You have started off great, now keep on going. You already have 143 shields. Your site is very organized and well put together. Good job.

Score; 20 / 20 Points.

11.07.11 | Google Chrome | Pros/Cons | Telegrapher

Pros: Entering your site, well was really adventurous. Why? Well you have this wonderful layout, that has textures that makes it stand out. It is a gorgeous layout!
• Your layout is spontaneous. It splashes right out there. The resources, Textures & colors you used made it more than a image.
• You make high-quality graphics that anyone would like at first glance.
• Organization is what your site has, it is not to crammed & not to loose.
• The content, as in Icons & Resources. They are labeled wisely that I can go in there get what I want and go.
• Your site is off to a good start & you update a lot.

Cons: I went through all off your site & found a couple cons. I listed them below;
• On the textures page you do not have a back button, & I think it would be faster if you had one.
• On your request page, you only have; Banner request, Banner Pick up & Icon request. Where is the Icon pickup?
• Remember when making any type of graphic do not add to much hue, it makes the picture to bright or overloaded with color.
• On your front page, you have a header of; Welcome to Sincerely Yours! & then below it in the message it says Welcome to Sincerely Yours! I suggest that you would remove the header. It would look better.
• Lastly make sure you keep your site organized & full of great graphics (:

10.20.11 | Firefox | In-Depth Review | Spencer

First Impression: On first glance, I thought your site content was very crammed together, like you have to much information. For this to be fixed, you will have to detail and make everything or anything better in advance.

Example; I like purple and blue and pink and green.
Fixed; I like purple, blue, pink & green.

^ So much better, and easier to read. But I don't think you understand what I mean, you might but just in case.. When you detail something it makes it more professional & shorter. I like the idea of a featured site on the front page but when you have written a lot it makes it scroll and then all crammed together, I would suggest put that on another page so you have all the space to write. Does this make sense? Also, there is anything I have noticed too. You abbreviate your site name in your welcoming message, I think it won't make any sense if you do that. Someone can get confused but you can do that if you want. I noticed that the font face you are using is quite small and dull. Maybe bump up the size to 11 & maybe use Century Gothic or Tahoma. Those would probably help with the cramming of the site. I use Firefox so it may look different to other users but I'm just saying what would help.

Score; 13 / 20 Points.

Layout / Quality: Spring Breeze has a gorgeous layout, and it matches the name. It would be perfect for spring too! The quality of the layout is excellent! Seraphic is a great site, & you chose well. I think your layout fits in with the name and the blossoms fit in with autumn too. What bothers me is the update box. You write a lot so it is important to have the right space. So maybe next when you are requesting or making a new layout, don't be shy to ask for a big enough box. After all you want your site to look spectacular!

I noticed you only use green for bolding words. A little suggestion is maybe you some browns, and other pinks. Like a pink for italicizing & brown for underlining. I think the most important things is for layouts like yours is a lot of space and quality, so keep up the work.

Score; 15 / 20 Points.

Content: While going through Spring Breeze's content, You had quite some paragraphs & sentences. Remember what I said in the First Impression? You should go through & edit & detail it. You have a lot so it may take time. If you need help you can go here :

Also, for your font picture, for picking what font you want. I would make a smaller version & better so it can just fit in so you do not have to drag & drop. It will be faster & simpler.

Score; 10 / 15 Points.

Spelling & Grammar: Ahh, Spelling & Grammar. I love the fresh sound of rain poring. Good selection of a spring metaphors. Anyway, onto spelling mistakes. I read through all the pages & I only caught this mistake; BAOTM. Shouldn't it be BOTM or am I mistaken. Either way, you should fix it (:

Grammar now; I found this error on the welcome page.
Mistake: It seamed like just yesterday that I opened SB, but I've come quite a long way. :) I hope you enjoy the premade and custom banners Spring Breeze has to offer!

Solution: It seemed just like yesterday that I opened Spring Breeze, but I've come quite a long way. :) I hope you enjoy the premade and custom banners Spring Breeze has to offer!

You can copy and paste if you want. I also caught a mistake on rule seven on the rules page.

Mistake: Do not hassle me about your request. If I didn't reply, you probably didn't read the rules, or didn't follow one. If your request is taking a bit of time, please wait 2-5 days before bugging me about it. I have a lot going on during the school year and neopets is not my first priority.

Solution: Do not hassle me about your request. If I didn't reply, you probably didn't follow the rules or I didn't get it. If your request is taking a bit of time, please wait 2-5 days before asking me about it. Thanks.

That sounds much better! & That was all I saw.

Score; 5 / 10 Points.

Sitely Info : For sitely info, I went through affiliates & I checked if there was dead links or if they had you under their affiliates & none of them are dead-linked or affiliate free (: Also your credits & link backs are great!

Score; 15 / 15 Points.

Last Impressions: Lastly, I seen all of your site, & I think it is amazing. You had some mistakes but I know you can fix them. You do great on your banner requests & I see that you put a lot of effort into them because they re pretty. But all I can say is fix all I mean All of your mistakes and it will be like new! Alrighty? Congrats (:

The Mailbox

Why hello love, you found the Mailbox. I bet your wondering what the Mailbox is. Well the Mailbox is a helpful thing I made up for you! The Mailbox is mostly a thing to help motivate your site or have a better understanding of what your supposed to do. And if you want to make a site, well here is the tips and advice!

Picking the right site

Lets get started with the basics. I will list every basic about every site there is.

Adoptables/Pixels: Adoptables & Pixels you have to have a lot of time with. You have to have patience. You can have requests but If you don't want to you don't have to.

Coding & Design: You have to know a lot about CSS and HTML to make a decent coding. Designing takes a lot of effort too. Practice makes perfect.

Competitions: Running a competition site takes a lot of activeness just like every other site. And you have to be fair if you have your own picks on your site.

Dailies: You will have to be on everyday at least to keep updated and help out the neopians. And you will have to have every link correct and ready to go. No deadlinks..

Fonts: Fonts is a big thing if you want to make them. You will have to know font types, colors, and avatars. To run a font site you will need at least 160+ Avatars to have a good amount of amazing fonts.

Graphics: Making graphics takes time and baby steps. You have to take everything in order and follow your dreams.

Directories: Directories take a lot of time everyday. And you will have to go through a lot of links.

Premades: You have to know HTML & OR CSS. In order to make a layout you need some skills. But it takes practice too.

Requests: Activeness is a must and if your gonna have a request site you have to make something someone will like.

Reviews: You must be literate, you cannot review if you go lyk th15. And you have to make sense.

Untaken names: Last but no least, Untaken names takes a while to make or put together. You have to make sure a site doesn't have the name already.


Picking the name

Picking the right name can be hard but if you follow my guide you will find one easily. I have some names you can choose from. Just tell me if you are gonna use one so I can cross it out.

• Bitter Devastation
• Catasterism
• Invile
• Individualist
• Classical Creations
• Belittled
• Lost
• Writers Sequence
• Suited
• Broken






Theme

Now you need to pick your theme. It could be a cute theme or it could be a dark theme. Just use your imagination and create the best theme ever.Creativeness and Originality is super important for every site. So make sure you have it.

Advertising

Get the word out, tell the world you have a amazing site and they have to see it. You can post Sitely news @ The Faerie Compass & Soroptimist. Do what ever you have to, to get the word out! Your site has come this far so keep it up!

Goodluck!

I got you on your feet now you go ahead and run like the wind. You went through all of the steps and now you don't need them anymore. I wish you good luck for the future!
