Welcome to Pinnacle. Pinnacle is a review site, but with a small twist; I don't grade you like any other sites, I tell my first impression, what is good, and what you should change. I will also give your site a score /10.

rules
Don't be offended. I'm trying to HELP you, not say that your site is completely horrible and you have to change everything (I might have to say that to some of you), but I'm not saying that because I'm mean, it's because I'm trying to help.
Link back before and after the review.
See if reviews are open, because I hate telling people "reviews are closed. Come back later. Read the rules before mailing me".
Don't bother me by asking "Is my review finished? Are you almost done? Hurry up!" I sometimes take my time, and other times I'm quick. Depends on my mood.
At the end of the neomail, write "Top of the Top", just so I know you read the rules :D.
READ THE RULES
The Stages
The Moment
I click on a button and find myself looking at a page that I feel needs some changes. I look around and get the feels of how this site is going to treat me.
I Stare Amazed
Looking at the most beautiful layout, I find myself mesmerized at the organized site and find everything thing in its rightful place.
Feeling Disappointment
Beginning to criticise the effort put into the page for the owner had used a premade, and thinking about how terrible the content is.
How this works; if you see an empty slot, click on the envelope to ask for a review. If there is no open slot, don't bother me. It means that I'm busy and you have to wait. I'm a busy person because I'm working on three sites at once at the moment; this one, Desire, and a secret project which is quite hard and time consuming.

The Moment
I like the orange colour scheme, but the background needs colour, say maybe this colour? #F7F2EE. I really like the header, reminds me of the headers on this site XD.
I Stare Amazed
I like your headers and all colours go well together. And you're right, the text areas are adorable! I also love the award!
Feeling Disappointment
You don't really need a box for forms now do you? Remove the box because you have to scroll down just to get a couple more pixels and the envelope. Another thing is your scroll bars, they might look fine to you, but to someone using a different browser they might be the thing that messes up the page. If you want to know how to edit your scroll go to Candy Sharks. another thing is that I hate it when affies are put in the moving scroll thing, put them in a box if you want to save room. And your reviews should be on the side table.

The Moment
So the page opens and I see the banner. The text is a little blurred but that can easily be fixed. What I also notice is that the header doesn't really match the colour scheme and the font, and image that would would be one with purple floral patterns (or something like that).
I Stare Amazed
I like the way you centered your text, and I am rather amazed at the layout you made since there is no credit, though I do recall a site with one just like yours. I like the colour scheme a lot, but as I said, the header doesn't match.
Feeling Disappointment
First of all, why do you need two pickup boxes? I think you can manage with one. The image that says requests are open, should be below the rules and above the request forms. The font size is a little small for but it does look good, maybe one size bigger? The bold that you have is hard to see, if you want people to see the bold, make it stand out, like a purple. I am a little disappointed that the layout doesn't look that well in IE, but that's alright.

The Moment
I look at your site, and what I see is hurting my eyes. It is very, very bright and I do not feel like staying.
I Stare Amazed
Your banners are the awesomest (I know I misspelled that)! They look wonderful. And your dividers certainly do help with, well, dividing your page :D.
Feeling Disappointment
Your background is a little too bright for my taste, but that's not the main thing. The table colour doesn't really match the background and your banner is a bit smaller that the table. Your font stands out from the table and I find a bit hard to read, maybe change it verdana? Your headers that state the different topics would looks better if the were wider, and I saw a banner that was lower that the other (under the purple divider). Another thing that I noticed, was that you only had one mail me link. I was looking for is above the forms for affies & requests and I could find it, put it above the text areas.

The Moment
I come to your site and the banner isn't above the tables and my first impression is that you have very little content. I advise you to put the blog in a scrolly box just like this one so you don't have to scroll down the page. Also make your navigation links a bit bigger.
I Stare Amazed
If the banner was in line with the table, it would be perfect. I'm OK with the colour scheme, though your conter sticks out like a sore thumb.
Feeling Disappointment
Abit more about the navigation; I hardly notice it, and I don't like the colour of the links because they don't match the colour scheme of the site. Change the counter it's neon coloured and doesn't look good at all, change the colours.
The affies need to be put in a scroll box and replace the links with buttons.

The Moment
I see something takes a while to load and is very dark. The affies are in the wrong place (they don't look good up there) and you have a the horrible blue borders around the images, remove them with a simple code; border=0.
I Stare Amazed
I just LOVE the icons, one of my fav is the wish upon a star icon :D. something else that I like, is how you organized the site, very neat.
Feeling Disappointment
The blue doesn't go well with the purple, so either change the purple to a more blue tone, or vice versa. Like I said before, remove all blue border from links. I don't know what browser your site looks best in, but in IE, the left column is waaaaay to the left, bring it to the right so that it's right beside the main box. All the navigation won't fit into the purple box, make the font in the movie/celeb. Icons smaller so the it doesn't take up two lines. The scroll bars could do with a makeover, heres a link for the scrollbar code: Candy Sharks

The Moment
I love the way your site looks! Its amazing and very neat. Inside the tables the pets are right beside each other and centered, but what would look better is if they were evenly space out; 40px away from the border and 40px away from the image, or something like that. You can use a simple table with no border for that.
I Stare Amazed
Wonderful layout, like I said before, very neat, all the colours are good. The navigation makes everything neater and easier to go around.
Feeling Disappointment My name is Anna, but you may also call me Berry I like the bold red for berry, it's a small splash of colour, but if you use it too much, it wont look good. I scroll down, and the boxes with awards, affies and reviews have the scrollbar for the side, it does no look good. I spent a while trying to get rid of them from my page, and it looks so much better without.
