Welcome

You are casually walking through the mall when you see a new store. That's strange, you've never seen this shop before. You walk in the shop by the name of Sample Reviews, and by the door is a young Uni, ready to greet you.

Hello guest, and welcome to Sample Reviews, a review site by Cookies! At Sample, I offer reviews for all the perfumes in Neopia! I offer creative and contructive reviews, because good reviews don't always have to be mean! Feel free to request a review if they are open! The current layout is v.4 Welcome!, but is very glitchy in Chrome.

    Pick-Up


    First Impression: When I first entered your site, your layout appealed to me as plain. The colors were bright, but the text wasn't. If you want to stick to the "faerie/Fyora/pink" theme, I suggest using the shade numbered, "#ff99cc".

    The next thing that appealed to me plain, was the banner. There was to much blank space in the middle, and that threw of the whole image. I suggest the following sites for banners!

    After just viewing your layout, I read your welcome message. You don't introduce yourself(only as "my"). Always say who the site is ran by and link it to your lookup! Viewers may have some questions or comments, and this way they no who to contact.

    5/10

    Content:Below are the following buttons that need some work, and some suggestions on how to improve them.

    The first one has a very tiny image. Just barely, can the requester tell that that is a Zafara. Behind that, there is a purple and a pink striped background which does not match with the image. I suggest zooming in and using the Zafara, but also to have a matching background, maybe a green and pink gradient. The animation is just fine. The second one's border is very creative, but the image in the corner, what is it? To me it looks like a Bulldog, but one never knows. I suggest sharpening your images(for Photoshop, go to Filter-Sharpen-Sharpen. The last one has a nice image, but the background doesn't match. Read what I wrote for button #1. Also, there is a blank spot near the text "Day" on the right. I suggest fixing it.

    6/15

    Sitely: Your sitely section seems perfect, but I would suggest getting one more button, and a few more affiliates and listers.

    4/5

    Random Flaws: I found none! Though in your rules, you used graphic text, not plain text, which was very creative.(+1 extra credit point)

    Overall:64%

    Recommended/Not Recommended:Not Recommended

    AfterMath: Hello! It was a pleasure reviewing your site, thanks for requesting. Fairydust scored a 64/100 due to the lack of quality of the content. Your buttons still need some work, but in the future, I can see them being high-quality! Take this button with you to show you got reviewed.


    Layout: When I first take a glance at your layout, it satisfy's me. The image is clear, and glossy, and the text is perfect. The main focal image of the layout is the Krawk, which has it's eye covered by the update box. I would suggest moving the Krawk higher(using your image editting program, such as GIMP). Next, the area for your text was a bit to small. Instead of having the updates right next to it, why not have them in the corner, under the navigation? That way, you can have more space for your text. Other than that, your layout is great and I could find no coding issues.

    Content: Taking a quick peek at your art, I really enjoyed it! Below are some of my favorite pieces of work.

    Your human shots are my favorites because they have nice shading, and arn't pixeled. They also show some creativity in what your human art would look like.

    Graphics: You didn't have many graphics. I highly suggest using resources. The number 1 resource spot would be The Lunch Box. In the rules section, instead of using "rule 1)" etc., try using pixels.

    Grammar/ Spelling: Do you talk lyk dis in yo welcome messge? Her I state WHY you should talk this, HOW to change it, and WHAT to change.

    Random Stuff: Some random flaws I saw in your site where..

    OVERALL: You got a score of %! Remember this is my opinion, and if you don't agree, that's fine by me!
