Layout & Design Is the layout intuitive and easy to navigate? Is it compatible across all browsers and resolution? Is it aesthetically pleasing? |
Eudial...ok, lets get this ball rolling yes? Hmmm, layout...errr...an interesting layout, and by interesting, mean horrible. Well, the background is white and there is a really poor picture of the outer senshi on the main page that is just killing my eyes. The naviagation is right under this picture, and I have to tell ya, I'm not liking what I see. Everything is all bunched up together. I'm sorry, but you have all this space on the sides of the site and everything. Instead, you put the naviagation in a space thats about the width of a standard ruler. >.< Within the site, they TRIED to stay uniform with a small picture of the outer senshi that was tiled on the left side, and all the information regarding that specific section on the rest of the page. Uniformed is good, however, this person was not always uniformed. Its important that if you have a layout to stick with it as much as you can. Even in the less important sections of your site. I guess thats it for this site...huh. Blah indeed. |

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? |
MimetteAlright, I know it isn't my section, but as it pertains to me getting to my section, I have to say it..... I HATE THIS LAYOUT! The navigation is horrible! I have this tiny tiny little space with a scrollbar underneath a main image to go through for written content! That is insane! Get better navigation please! That is me begging you... I am in the "Haruka and Michiru" section of this site and even I can see a horrible typo/mistake here. I am no grammar nazi like Viluy is, but I know that this phrase is wrong: "Yes they are lesbians, I don't mean to offend anyone here but it's true, I'm totally a suport thier relationship." You know, a spell checker wouldn't catch this, but I am just scratching my head as to how you could make such a mistake. Usually, if I am not doing a review or an update, I will go back and read over what I wrote before I commit to posting it on a site. This is only one example though, so I shall let it slide... Nevermind letting it slide. The next sentence is screwed up as well. Please give me some hope and tell me that English is NOT your second language... Alright, can somebody tell me what "the Stars" is? I have heard of those sparkly shiny fireflies caught up in that giant blue black thing, and I have heard of "Sailor Stars", but I have not heard of "the Stars". You see children, if you took the "the" out of this statement, it could be used, but it just goes to waste here and makes it look like "Stars" is the name of a product or place. There is a section on this page listed as "Other Facts". Part of these facts are just repeated from what was already posted previously on this section and I am wondering as to why this was done. I am also wondering why this person spells it as "Elsa" as opposed to "Elza" as it is supposed to be. I have moved onto the "Senshi Bios" section and I am a bit confused. This site says that it is dedicated to the Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, yet there is a profile here for Saturn as well. I am confused by this, but lemme get a look at these profiles anyway. There are your usual profiles here with some minor misinformation, but nothing crucial, so I am on to the next section... "The Outer Senshi" which by the way cuts off halfway through the button and cuts the "Senshi" part of the button to the next line... why?! This section seems to be mainly composed of information that was found elsewhere in the site and there is really no purpose for it. I don't read Fanfiction so I will be skipping that. (If you don't like that, please sue me.) "Song Lyrics" has an open disclaimer that they aren't hers so I am moving on. You know what? I am not moving on. There really isn't much else to review here. This site is miserable at best. Avoid it like the plague. I am going to go review my next site. |

Visual Content What kind of visual content is offered? Is it efficiently organized and intuitively accessible? Are all visual media offered legally? |
ViluyImage Galleries The gallery links for each character or set should be in a better laid-out format than this. This is very amateur-looking. Rather than having them all over the place, put them in one column of links. It just looks better/more professional that way. The idea (in my mind) is that you use the best pictures you've got, rather than all the pictures you may have of the particular characters. That way, people might be inspired by them. Another idea is to maybe get those pictures that are not that common on the internet at the moment rather than the same old ones that everyone else has. Make it different and unusual. Also, use the absolute best picture you've got as a gallery page header to tempt people into looking at your galleries. As it stands, the grainy and badly presented manga image isn't very tempting - it makes me wonder if it's worth looking at the galleries at all. Music Videos This music video page is the same as the one for the Romance site. The presentation of the links is pretty poor - again, a column of links might be a better way to go than having it as it stands. I'm a bit dubious. When you click on the links, you're sent to an adware/popup spamming file download site, rather than to space on your own server. I'm not usually that bothered (to download) when I see this, and I am sure it will turn others off as well. When I clicked to download one of the files to see whether or not the MVs are worth it, it showed that it had only been downloaded 19 times. This sort of proves to me that others are as put off by this as I am. If you're going to offer downloads, host them yourself or on a friend's server, not a file-sharing site like this. |
