Shattered Crystals

This is certainly going to be a pleasant review. =) Your site is beautiful. Dark - but still beautiful. Everything is set in its own place and organized which by now everyone knows I love that. The only thing that made me dock a point off is something with the layout. I'll explain why in the layout section. For the most part moving from page to page is easy and fun. I have IE and it did take a bit to load the banner, but the results were great. It was worth the extra 15 second wait.

Your theme is a graphics maker and you didn't stray away from that at all. You also have a certain style of graphics I noticed and you never left it. You even stated that you wouldn't do a specific kind(Disney Channel Stars etc.). Letting your "customers" know these things are really useful to them. You like doing anime and video game graphics so that's what you do. It's that simple. And I can tell you really love it, that's worth a couple extra points.

Okay, we're finally to this section. I can let all my hot air out about this layout. =) The only thing I didn't like was how the end of the last table was the end of the page. That really leaves no room to roam. I must say, as ridiculous as this sounds, I am claustrophobic and that browser page really scares me. I know it sounds crazy, stop laughing! That page really does make me feel box in, like I have no more space. I love to have room to scroll and read one thing within my screen at a time. I'm not saying you should have a mile of empty page down there but give your readers some room. They'll feel safe, haha. (How dumb did that whole section sound?)

Your colors stay the same through the whole site and go well with the content. A dark site goes well with darker kinds of content. If you were making rainbow colored muffin faeries then you'd probably want to change it... for future references...
Content: 21 out of 20.

Your content is lovely. Just lovely. It was a pleasure to go through and look at it. My favorite is the FMA "Miniskirts!" icon. Best episode ever. =) That really made me laugh. It's great how you tell your readers about the topic your graphics are on. I found that very useful because I had no idea what the whole "Warriors" hype was, so after I read it I understood it a lot more than I did before. I can find no misspelled words after looking.

Well, there is no award for over 100, but I'm sure the 100 will be fine for you. =) I've enjoyed this review and wish you luck with your page. Thanks for requesting a review!

Mistlickles (Closed)

First Impression: 20 out of 30.


Organized. Though the name is confusing me. On one of your buttons it says Misticles and on the others it says Mistlickles and on your page it says Mistickles. I think you should try and figure out what the name is. And take down any buttons that aren't correct and change the header to what it is supposed to be called. The name is one of the most important things. I know mine is plain but I'd rather my site be themeless. Yours though, Mistickles (or whatever) is a fun name to work with! And the site name doesn't have to be what your pets name is! Also, there are way too many links to fit the height of the table. Either change the height or change the links.

Your theme is everything as I can see. You're a directory for royal pets, you have buttons, reviews, and a list for the best sites. You need to narrow it down. What does your page have to do with Royal pets? What do your buttons have to do with royal pets? You have to tie everything together if you're going to do that. Backgrounds with stars and themeless buttons aren't royal. Find a nice royal background that fits!
Layout: 19 out of 30.
Very useful layout for what you are doing! Great choice. BUT there are too many links on one page. It would really help if you put the Welcome page and updates on one page and the affies and link back and list under one page. Try to name the list something else and if it must be on the side in the links remove the exclamation marks. Also the button bases page is a little much it just seems like you're trying to cram so much into one site. Best to leave the buttons to the button makers the directory to the directory makers and etc. I'm all for having a multi-useful site, but later it will get too hard to manage.

The colors are fine. I love purple. Ha. But the background is a little much like I mentioned. It has nothing to do with your royal pet directory or anything else on the page. As I said, tie it all together.
Content: 12 out of 20.
Desidria is no longer a royal pet. Ellaah's link does not work anymore. On the review page you also misspelled grammar(I know, right? I did it too!) Also in the Introduction part it says "Does it mentte name?" Hm? Stolen is misspelled... What I'm getting at is there are a few spelling mistakes here and there. Might want to check that out. =) Also!! Very important for everyone to read! You mentioned in the FAQ when you put a textbox everything messes up... Use with NO spaces and instead of the - put a _ . It will not mess up anymore! Put the underscore and use it like normal! =)

I'd make it more royal friendly, change the links, and check your spelling errors out. I think you could go somewhere with this though!

Tales of the Pets

The background is warm and friendly. But the other colors do not match at all. I know you might be going for the mismatched cute look, which would be a great idea but try and find darker colors instead of NEON-IN-YOUR-FACE-OMG cyan/blue/green etc. =) The layout is nice but try and find a more organized one. Everything is all out everywhere. Try changing the font also. It's very plain. Directories are supposed to be impressive and strong, not so-so and weak. Theme Consistency: 10 out of 10. Your theme is carried out throughout your page. Your directory is a directory. Exactly what it is supposed to be. =)
Layout: 18 out of 30.

You have a lot of content that you need to put on your page and you need the layout space for it! Try to find a more organized layout with a lot of extra room to put your info! That way it will look like a true directory.
Colors: 4 out of 10.

As I explained earlier the colros are way bright even for that mismatched theme. Try and find darker colors that feel warmer and mix together.
Content: 15 out of 20.

Your content is overloaded onto your page! You need more room as I've said. You have a lot of content to put since youre a directory so it needs to spread out. The section headers could be images or outlined with a box. They need to stand out other than being big. Your links at the top need to be bigger. I couldnt even tell they were there. =) Your pet navigation could be more organized, but I don't have any tips
Overall Score and Comments: 64 out of 100.
You're off to a good start! Directories take a lot of work and focus. Stay with it though and you'll come out on top!

Midnight Buttons

Button by Midnight Buttons @ /~Yrph

First Impression: 19 out of 30.
When I first saw Midnight Buttons the main factor that appealed to me was the organization of it. Everything was laid out neatly, I love that about sites. The one thing I noticed was the colors of the section bars thoguh since they stand out so much. The second blue color doesn't match. The buttons were of a lower quality not in the design but in the colors which I will explain how to fix this later on. Some things are out of place though...
Theme Consistency: 5 out of 10.
Your theme is obviously "Midnight" and "buttons". That was easy to figure out. =) But you never mention midnight or night or anything like that on your page. You need to add more things relating to the theme, like add a crescent moon under the "Midnight Buttons" section. And align it to the left and have a word wrap on it so your text will go beside it. Little things like that make the viewer pleased and want to come back. (I can't provide a link to a petpage that can help you with this because I am on another computer for the moment, I'm sorry, but try some of the help links below or ask on the Help Board!)
Layout: 26 out of 30.
Your layout is organized into sections and I love that, but some of them need to be switched around. Your updates should be below your introduction section so your viewers instantly see what your new updates are. But the rest is in the correct and proper order.
Colors: 4 of 10.
Your background color is fine, but the section colors are off from your banner. Unless you change your banner to have those colors they're not going to work. To find more colors it would be useful to look at an html color chart which you can easily search for on any search engine and find. Soem darker blues would work just fine.
Content: 11 out of 20.
One thing I highly recomend is saving your buttons under the .png file. I'm going to guess you use MS Paint. Well, when you go to the usually place and press save the box comes up, name the button, the select from the drop down list PNG (.png). Then save them as that file. They will look so much better and cleaner. Also, your banner is supposed to catch the attention of the viewer, and it is slightly bland. I'd recomend downloading some new fonts to your computer. It's not that hard. If you search How to download fonts to my computer on any search engine there should be some guides to help you. I use the site Dafont. Search Dafont also and it will be one of the first ones. It's a site to download free fonts to your computer and they are really nice ones. =) It's just like usual, you select it from the font dropdown menu in paint and start typing away. You can do so much with them, like if you have a real pretty cursive font you can make a big, size 14 G and have the pretty cursive lines on the edge of the button so it just looks like curved lines coming out. It really looks nice if you do it right, trust me. =)

Well this review was full of great information(atleast I hope so!). You don't quite qualify for an award, but after you've taken some of my adive to heart just neomail me and I'll do another review! I'm sure it'll turn out great next time! Keep updating! You've got good ideas and good creativity!

Candy Shop Premades

First Impression: 27 out of 30.
The first impression I had was, "How cute!" Ha. I really like the banner and the name. I also like the theme being candy for everything. I noticed there isnt that much content. But your updates told me that you have just opened the site, so that helped me understand a lot. It's great to have updates because of that. The only thing that bothers me is the color of the background. I will elaborate more on that later.
Theme Consistency: 10 out of 10.
Your theme is a candy shop and premades. It is constant through the whole site. Your section names are exactly what they are supposed to be and more.
Layout: 28 out of 30.
Your layout is very nice. The top two tables could be longer for easier viewing though. That was the only thing I found bad about it. You could have a means of navigation throughout your site also since the content makes the page so big.
Colors: 8 out of 10.
Your colors go good but the background is a bit too dark for my taste. It would look better as another color in the banner instead of purple. Or have the page background as purple and the table background as white. Content: 20 out of 20. Your content and use of HTML/CSS is very good from start to finish. I love the lollipops at the beginning of the sections and your content is all organized which makes for a clean page.
Overall Score and Comments: 93 out of 100.
You qualify for the 90+ award! Congratulations! Your site is very useful and only needs a few more updates added to it. You've got a good start though considering it just opened a few days ago.
