Blueprint Buttons
First Impression ~ 10/10
The first impression that I get from your site is that its a very organised page. The page is pleasant to look at, and it's not too overcrowded, which is perfect!
Content ~ 20/25
There isn't much content to judge on here, as you're such a new site, but I'll do my best. Your buttons are great quality, and I loved the unconventional 'cloud'-shaped button you made for 'Playpen'. Out of all the buttons you have made, including the ones to advertise your site, I definitely think that is the best one. The image you used for 'Lynn's Pet Names' is a bit pixelated, which makes it look a bit unprofessional, but it's only noticeable if you look relatively closely. Your button bases are also fantastic! I'm pleased that you included some neo-related ones as well as pretty patterns. Your round border bases are my favourites, though - it's such a great shape to make a button with! The other side of content is the text. It's hard to strike a happy medium between not enough text, and too much. However, I think you're leaning slightly on the side of 'not enough text', mainly because of something I'll mention in more detail later - I couldn't locate the form to enter/vote in the button contest. Another thing you might want to change is the text boxes. It's possible to "style" them by pre-setting how they will look - size, border style, thickness, background colour, text colour etc. If you need more help with this, just ask and I could probably give you some code which you could experiment with. It would just make the page look less messy and give a slightly more personal touch. Overall though, not a bad score at all, for such a new site!
Layout ~ 14/20
I can't give you full marks here, as you used a premade layout. However, the design you chose suits the purpose of the site perfectly, and is very easy on the eye. I think maybe you could have personalised it a bit by giving the header backgrounds a custom-made image by you - just the same blue with some light blue brushes on (if you use PSP/PS). It would make the whole page look a bit prettier and more interesting, without detracting attention from the buttons themselves. You also got a few more marks than other people with premade layouts because you aren't a site which provides graphics with code/coding for its visitors. This means you have no need to demonstrate your coding abilities. I also makr harshly on this one, if a premade layout is used by a guild/lookup/petpage layout site, and yours is none of these, so I think you chose well.
Colours ~ 10/10
These colours were likely not chosen by you. However, they fit in with each other almost perfectly, and look fantastic together. The only issue I have is that the black doesn't quite look right in the headers. Maybe you could change it to a darker version of the blue in the background?
Updates ~ 10/10
Although you've only been open a short while, your updates are fantastic! More recently, you've been updating almost every day. I'm pleased that explained you'll be going on holiday, so requests are closed. It's great service to your visitors if you are able to explain to them exactly what's going on with the site. Your updates are also relevant, and the perfect length.
Orthography and Syntax ~ 5/5
Although there is not much text on your site, I read it all, and noticed no spelling/grammar mistakes! Well done. The only thing I saw was a typo - under "Button Bases", you typed "is" instead of "if", but I'm overlooking that one.
Other ~ 9/10
Well, for this section, I noticed something truly unique! You have a button-making site, and on it, you are encouraging others to showcase their own talent in a button-making contest! I really love this truly genius idea, and it's a great way to get noticed by other sites, and get some valuable affiliates. You didn't score the whole 10 points in this section because it was unclear what you had to do to enter. I noticed the form only at the end of the review, so maybe you should stick that form in the contest section, or tell people where to find the form in order to make it clearer?
General Score ~ 10/10
Congratulations, that's a great score for such a new site! Just fix a couple of things, and you'll own a perfect site in no time!
Final Score ~ 88/100
That's a grade GRADE B! Well done! :)
