Layout & Design Is the layout intuitive and easy to navigate? Is it compatible across all browsers and resolution? Is it aesthetically pleasing? |
ViluyThe site splash page doesn't inspire me. The image is too dark for one thing, and that rainbow effect looks lame. Wow, what a blinding site. The rainbow effect really does NOTHING at all for this site. It makes it too harsh to read, the lettering in the bottom corner is almost impossible to see, let alone read, and it just looks awful. Michiru looks like an alien - I almost didn't recognise her. The rainbow blinkie avatar doesn't look all that good here either. It's just too much rainbowy stuff, and too dark for it to work well. Try upping the levels or something (saturation/light). ALso, get rid of the little sparklies or stars or whatever that cover the entire page. It adds to the confusion and is another way of making sure visitors don't get a good look at your layout images. Sometimes less is more...or so the saying goes. That would certainly apply here. The menu structure is still a bit disorganised. I like the categories, but the subcategories could be consolidated, making it cleaner in appearance. As it is, there are too many pages, too many links, and too much usless stuff. In the credits section, you really should credit where you got your information, media files and gallery images from. It just makes you appear rude and ignorant by having the statement up that you do have. If you don't remember, then approximate. It's not THAT hard to have a look around and think about where you got stuff from. I always bookmark sites that I've taken stuff from, just in case. I may never go to it again, but if I use it, then I can credit it properly. Consolidate the links pages and the affiliations, as well as the fanlistings all onto one page, and the about/contact me pages could be consolidated as well. I see there's both a tagboard and a guestbook, which is a bit redundant and makes for easier spamming by spambots and idiots. I suggest taking one or the other down, you don't really need both. The fan stuff you could consolidate onto pages called 'fan works', graphics and media. This makes it easier to deal with as a webmaster, rather than thousands of little sub-pages. Especially when there's not a whole lot of information on those pages. For the fanlisting, it doesn't say whether you're affiliated with TAFL (The Anime Fan Listings) or TFL (The Fan Listing). It makes it a lot better if you are affiliated with a fanlistings organisation - you get more members, and better quality affiliates out of it. Plus it just plain looks better from a membership point of view. People like to see things that are listed somewhere vaguely respectable. This site has quite a ways to go before it even remotely becomes a good site in my eyes. A lot of work to be done... |

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? |

Alright, let's do this section-by-section...

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

I don't know how many more times I can say this: thumbnail your damn galleries!!! This site again offers galleries of images, and again, the images are not thumbnailed. Moreover, they are presented in full-size format in an iframe, leaving no easy way to view the images or save them to one's harddrive.
