Layout & Design

Is the layout intuitive and easy to navigate? Is it compatible across all browsers and resolution? Is it aesthetically pleasing?

Mimette

Layout.... what layout?! There isn't anything here. I have tables, a blue background that I had to turn down my backlight for, a horribly done in MSPaint banner and some even worse fanart of "fanfiction" characters.

I am an advocate for fanfiction characters, however this one is just BADLY done. Apparently Mercury's daughter had a father who had some super kinky hair to get THAT mop of hair.

And people, please please please learn that pink text and blue background don't go well with GREEN links and WHITE bolded text. It is hurting me.... it seriously is.

And I apologize, this wasn't Mercury, this was "Sailor Earth" or as we know him, Mamoru in drag.

I love the comment at the bottom of the page in white "ABSOLOUTLY NO CONTENT ANYWHERE ON THIS SITE SHALL BE USED WITHOUT EXPRESS PERMISSION FROM THE SITE OWNER! " Don't worry, nobody in their sane mind would want anything from this mess of a site.

If anybody wants more bleeding eyes, go to any of the links on this page. They are just as badly set up and this person has a real thing for cellpadding.... I don't know why but it keeps changing depth per page.... *cringes*

You know what? I truly can't view anymore of this. The reason being it is all the same. I have my backlight down from around 15 possible pegs to a grand total of THREE to keep from hurting in the eyes department and that is just sad. Sorry webauthor, read some tutorials, get a clue, and learn what colors are safe on both a CRT AND an LCD cause currently CRT might handle it but it is blinding with my poor little notebook.

One note on something other than layout though. Do NOT show a picture of the Asteroid soldiers and call them by their "evil" names. Aka, don't show Sailor Vesta and call her "VesVes" in the same cell..... *goes to throw up over her poor beloved Asteroid soldiers*

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?

Ptilol

*taps the Webperson on the shoulder and shoves an image of the color wheel in their face*

Bright pink and teal text on a blue background DO NOT go together without causing the person looking at it to go blind. 'Nuff said about that.

Let's take a quick look at some of the profiles...

"30th Century Chibiusa" is painful to look at. Blue text on bright pink background. While the text is at least readable, the webperson seems to be fond of the capslock button. Nearly every other word is in caps. WHY?!? The swearing here and there doesn't make it any better. *head desk*

Thankfully the rest of the sections aren't as painful to look at(colorwise that is). For the most part, spelling is good... grammer needs some work but it's not the worst I've ever seen.

The more I read, the more I want to smack the person who wrote most of this nonsense. *beats her head against a wall*

Please webperson, for the love of all the Gods of all pantheons, rethink your content. Cut out the swearing and fix the colors. You owe me a box of Kudo's for this bit I was forced to look it.

Visual Content

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

Eudial

....Yes. I have no idea what that means, but...yes. Judging from the actual layout, though its not my job, looks like a rookie did this site. Ok, on to media.

Well, the opening picture scares the bejesus out of me. It looks like Neptune's body, Ami's face, and some random black hair. Just...no. If that thing came to save me, I'd rather take my chances with the youma. I'm going to skim through this site, and try to find some media. However, I believe I will get a picture gallery at best.

Alright, well, the first two sections, Royal Princesses and Of Court and Commoner, don't have media really to share with us. Just a few pictures nex to profiles and such like that. Nothing stellar in the media department at all.

Ah, downloads, what do we have here. In the download section, we have paper dolls, cursors, bookmarks, icons, chibi baby dolls (whatever the hell that is), wallpapers, and larger paper dolls.

I was lucky enough to find a gallery!!! Its definitely a basic gallery: just a link describing the picture. All seem to work well, but i'm lost on why this person call them "parallel senshi." I dont know. As for the gallery, not too bad, selection wise, i suppose.

Alright, dispite some random pictures in the other sections, thats it for media. Not bad, but could be better and a little more organized.
