Layout & Design

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

Cyprine

Oh boy, crappy animated .gifs. Just what I love to see when I open a page!

Anyway, the layout for this site can be summed up in one word, incoherent. The navigation order makes no sense, the positioning of the text and images seems random, and the layout changes repeatedly depending on the section.

Coming back to navigation, the organiztion is non-existant. We go from a bio, to the gallery, to the links page, and then back to informational content. The navigation would be much easeier to understand if it was split into logical sections, like information, media and site related items.

All in all, the layout is awful.

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?

Ok I absolutely LOVE Lead Crow and I find that she is really underrated among the SM community as a whole. However based on this site's "layout" I am not sure that this site will do any better. Lets dig in and see what we find.

The "Why?" section didn't do much so I am moving onto the next section thanks.

The "you know you like crow too much when..." section is just pathetic. Sorry but these aren't even mildly amusing..... I mean seriously.... it doesn't take too much thinking to get some fun stuff here and there isn't even much of an attempt to be honest....

I was hoping that when I clicked on the "fuku" link I would see SOMETHING worthwhile but there wasn't even a detailed breakdown, just a statement that was blatantly obvious that she wears little and that she is made to "look like a dominatrix"..... gee, the whip didn't signify this for the rest of us? Other than that there isn't much there.... its a pathetic ploy to try to make the site look like it has content when in fact it has very little.

I am further disappointed about the "closer observations" section. There is nothing detailed here that is a "closer" observation. Stating that you think a character is a dominatrix and then later claims she is merely emotional because her closest partner and friend died? I would have expected something to the effect of "being that she is meant to be a dom and look like one this could be because she is sad to see her control over somebody disappear so easily" or SOMETHING to this effect. I got nothing but what feels like a 12 year old's look at the page and marveling that somebody could be so revealing..... I really do want to go bleach my brain right now as it sounds more fun than to watch this pathetic excuse for a site unfold. I mean really it is just S-A-D to read..... I mean I can read everything in five seconds and it is just bland and flavorless..... There is no MEAT to this site's written sections.....

There isn't a whole lot I can say about this site other than if you want a really good thing to make you fall asleep have a read. Or if you think about it, it works as a good laugh XD

Visual Content

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

Since I'm doing the multimedia content today, I'm going to head straight for the gallery! I'm a little disappointed here for a lot of reasons. First of all, the pictures are just spread out all over the page, and there are no thumbnails! So they are all different sizes, and they look very disorganized. Further, when you click on them, they all take you back to the main paige. Weird. Anyway, I'm not altogether sure that these pictures even need thumbnails, because a lot of them are very small. Some are barely over 100x100 pixels! And many of them are bad quality. I think this person definitely needs to get some better pictures for the gallery, and certainly needs to thumbnail them. I also really don't like the fact that this person states that these pictures are the "rarest of the rare" and that "you'll only find them here." Those pictures are all over the internet, and in better quality! I hate it when people make false statements like that on their websites.

Eek! The cosplay pictures section consists of one picture... one that the webmaster just randomly found on the internet!! If I was that cosplayer, I'd be very angry about someone randomly posting my pictures.

There's a little bit of fanart in the fanart section, but nothing overly impressive. A few digital images, and some "colored in" image [this is NOT fanart, people!]. This page also has one doujinshi picture on it. Random.

The wallpapers section has only two unimpressive (and too small) wallpapers in it. Blah.

Overall, the media on this page is nothing to be very excited about.
