Layout & Design Is the layout intuitive and easy to navigate? Is it compatible across all browsers and resolution? Is it aesthetically pleasing? |
ViluyOke first things first. The major beef with this layout is the images. The fact that on a broadband connection, the main site image took over a minute to load is BAD, *slaps webmistress' hands*, very bad. You might want to think about optimizing your images for faster loading. The affiliates images are just fine. In fact, until the header loaded, I thought that was all there was... Secondly. This was obviously coded for IE only. Another X against the webmistress. Now, I'm not perfect, since I code exclusively for Firefox, but when most things I've seen with standard coding like this work in both....I don't see why the content is so skewed like this. Might want to fix that somehow. I am not sure what can be done given that it's hosted on evil Geocities, but I'm sure you can try. I've seen lovely layouts there, so I know it can be done. At least the layout is consistant, although the same skewed effect is on every single page. Now, your navigation menu. You might want to consolidate quite a few of these pages, such as combining the adoptables, avatars and images into one part of the site, the quizzes, awards and stuff like that as another part of the site and so on. Having it all on separate pages like this makes your site look bigger than it actually is, also making you look kind of...well, desperate for content comes to mind. This is also ignoring the fact that you have very little actual factual content on the site to begin with. Having the Sailor V manga scanlations in such a tiny font and not exactly in the right place on your nav menu kind of makes me wonder why bother having it there at all? The only good part about that part of the site is that you've actually made some effort at crediting your content. Where are the credits for the stuff you've got other than this? All I can see is that it makes you look like a thief without any credits on your site. You might also want to consider taking the stupid petition off your site. Not only is it extremely lame, but it's spammed from hell by Italian spambots with nonsensical adverts. *sighs* Also, the page for the fanart and fanfiction both say fanart on them. Might wanna change that too. All I can say is this site needs a drastic overhaul of monumental proportions. The layout isn't so bad, it's the content that sucks. Or should I say, lack of content. It just looks like the webmistress is someone who thinks it's cool to have a site, whether it's got anything worth looking at or not. Whether or not this is the case, I don't know - I just call it as I see it, and I'm calling it bad. |

Written Content Is there lots of written information? Are all profiles, back story, and other textual content accurate? Does the site offer fanfiction or other miscellaneous written content? |

It is a bit more than refreshing to see some decent fanart used for the layout of this page as the main image, but I really wish that the person was a bit better at it. By that I mean that I don't like how Mercury is covered by the affiliates lists as well as part of the main frame. I understand that this is a beautiful piece of fanart, but even that doesn't justify it taking up almost my entire screen. I don't understand the need to have a HUGE image as your main image in a layout....

Visual Content What kind of visual content is offered? Is it efficiently organized and intuitively accessible? Are all visual media offered legally? |

Eternal Dreams offers a mish-mash of different content -- the navigation menu includes links to movie and music sections as well as fanart, awards, screen savers and wallpapers. In most cases, the sections are too tiny to be worth anything.
