February 2nd, 2013
I was just about to announce the site was off of it's hiatus, and go start some reviews (I know, FINALLY!) when my trusty old lappy decided to break! Until I can get it fixed - it seems my requesters will have to wait a bit longer. I do apologize for the wait.

I currently have so many requests that I don't have room on my waiting list. So, all reviews are currently closed. Once I finish a few of them I'll put them back to open. Again, I apologize for how slow I am. School has been keeping me awfully busy.

OVERALL SCORE: 125/140
Type of Review: Nova

First Impression: 15/20 Your site leaves a really strong first impression. The layout is beautiful-I love how the image slightly overlaps your updates box. It makes the whole layout seem more professional. The positioning of your title is also very nice, and I liked that "High Quality Buttons by Millie" was in a smaller, different font than "Button Burst". The three recent buttons was a nice addition, as it allows customers to see exactly what your content is like without searching too much. The three buttons you have up are also very nicely made and stick truth to your subtitle "High Quality Buttons by Millie". I'm not too keen on the background of your navigation that's on the top of the screen. It's too purple, and doesn't really match the rest of the layout in my opinion. I recommend changing it to the color of it to your site's navigation. The background of your page is a little too dark. Try lighting it up just a tad (#191919). It might make it look neater. But all in all, I was interested in your site the moment I saw it. Job well done!
Content: 10/20 You have a lot of options for your buttons-which is quite nice. It's always nice to have variety. There were a few options I had trouble with though.
Font 2: This font was a bit too small and hard to read. If I didn't know the word was font, it would have taken me a few moments to decide whether that 'F' was an 'L' or and 'I' or a lower case 'T'.
Font 5: This font is also kind of hard to read. In this button it was especially hard to read. The also might be due to the animation or the bright, kind of distracting border. Another button that was hard to read was this one: . It seems the more words there are when this font is used, the more difficult it is to read. That may be because the words are too closely sandwiched together. If you don't understand what I mean by that- look at this button: . The part where it says "Arastral Library" has a nice space between the bottom of Arastral and the top of library. If it's possible, the problem font (Font 5) should be slightly enlarged and/or have larger spaces like in the Arastral Library button. It might fix the problem of it being difficult to read.
Animation 3: For some of your buttons, the animation blinks into the next word too soon, making it so you have to look at the button for a while to figure out what it says. I recommend keeping the word(s) there for a little while longer before transitioning to the next one.
I enjoyed your portfolio because you can truly see the difference between your old and new buttons. Your skill has greatly increased in button making-and it's evident. Most of your newer buttons have both pixel and non-pixel fonts, which looks very nice together. You also seemed to have fixed many of the animation and visibility issues from your older buttons. My favorite of your buttons would Have to be these three: , , and . They're all rather flawless as far as animation, color, and font choice goes. I love the images chosen as well. The best of your buttons are definitely the ones that have non-pixel text in them.
Overall Score: 85/100 Overall, I give your site an 80. It has a nice layout, and you have quality buttons. There were a few flaws with your site, and that's why you scored an 85/100. If you fix the things I mentioned, then you are sure to get that 100.
Recommended/Not Recommended Your site is definitely recommended. You make gorgeous buttons, and I thoroughly enjoyed browsing through your site. Keep up the good work and I know you will do nothing but improve. :)

Thank you so much for requesting from Cosmic Reviews. This button is for your accomplishment! If you don't like this one, feel free to pick a different button. This code has your score added to it.
