| Homepage Layout: 17 pts - Organized well. Background: 19 pts - Love it! Created by you, which I liked, and the music was fitting. Images: 12 pts - Love the logo you created. Many of your images should be made transparent. Information: 18 pts - Liked the update section. Maybe you should mention your name or a copyright on your page. It's up to you. Technicals: 13 pts - Colors look okay. The updates are a little off-center and maybe too big of a font. It loaded quickly. All links worked except the Story link. Comments: Maybe put screen tips over your pages' links to explain each page. Oh, yeah, and I love the mouse-over images on your links. Total: 79 pts. |
| Heart Pieces Layout: 14 pts - Very neat with the table, but the rest of the page is a little smooshed. Background: 15 pts - Nice background, but the music shouldn't be on a loop, since it is so short. Images: 15 pts - Again with the need for transpart images. And, the two identical pictures at the bottom look a little odd. Information: 20 pts - Awesome! I especially like the link to the map for people who don't understand the coordinates. Technicals: 11 pts - Font at the top is a little big. The quote box at the bottom looks weird with the black background. Colors are crazy at top. Comments: I love the quotes on all your pages!!! They're great. That's one cool original idea. Total: 75 pts. |
| Secret Seashells Layout: 15 pts - Nice table, but the bottom of the page is a little scrunched and uncentered. Background: 18 pts - Love the music. Images: 16 pts - Watch the transparent thing. Information: 20 pts - Perfect again! Very helpful information. Technicals: 12 pts - Colors clash a little. Font a little large at the top. Your site would look much more professional if you used smaller fonts. (That's what I did at the Senshi Temple!) Comments: Who said the quote on this page? Remember to write the speaker. And, I wouldn't put write that you will put up pictures later. It makes the reader think, "Well, why doesn't he have them now?" Total: 81 pts. |
| Enemies (Boss Section) Layout: 19 pts - Neatly centered. Background: 18 pts - Music fitting. Images: 17 pts - Great pics of all the enemies! Could be better if they were transparent images, though. Information: 18 pts - There are a few silly grammar errors. I like how you put the bosses in different categories. Technicals: 17 pts - Ah! So many colors, especially at top and bottom. Looks a little weird. Comments: I love this page. I think it's one of your best. The background music is catchy. Total: 89 pts. |
| Trading Layout: 17 pts. Background: 17 pts - Good music. Yea! It doesn't repeat! ^-^ Images: 16 pts - It's great you have pictures for all the items. But, what are those weird blob creatures at the bottom? Information: 19 pts - Very helpful! Do other sites offer this information? Good idea. Technicals: 15 pts - Words at top are a little too colorful. Comments: The blob creatures at the bottom are unorganized. You should put a quote on this page, too! Total: 84 pts. |
| Dungeons Layout: 10 pts - Not centered on top! Pretty messy page, especially at the bottom. Background: 12 pts - I suggest you don't put music on this page, since visitors won't be staying long, anyway. Images: 15 pts - Scattered about, not transparent, but awesome maps of each dungeon! Information: 20 pts - Sooo helpful! And all the walkthrus were written by you! Impressive. Technicals: 13 pts - Aren't all the pages finished? Or did you forget to link them? Well, good font size on the walkthrus. Comments: Try to organize the intro page a little better. Total: 70 pts. |
| Photos Layout: 14 pts - Top is not centered, and things look a little smooshed. Background: 12 pts - Music is a little creepy. Isn't it from Illusion of Gaia. If so, try to find music that better fits your theme. Images: 13 pts - The images on top should definately be transparent gifs. Information: 18 pts Technicals: 16 pts - Font colors at the top are a little odd looking. The entire page looks a little weird. I can't really explain why. Comments: Change background music? Total: 73 pts. |
| Codes Layout: 7 pts - Both words and images are scattered everywhere about the page. The text boxes with the colored backgrounds look bad. Background: 6 pts - Background is terrible (sorry!). It's too busy. Images: 11 pts - The images need to be transparent for a busy background like this. Images strewn across the page. Information: 18 pts Technicals: 14 pts - Text boxes don't look too appealing and the colors are weird at the top of the page. Comments: Change the background. Please. Total: 56 pts. |
| Warp Codes Layout: 13 pts - Organized better that the general Codes page, but still a little unorganized. Background: 12 pts - Because of the busy background, you should put lines around your text boxes to make it more appealing. Images: 14 pts Information: 19 pts Technicals: 15 pts - You should put your email button on the bottom instead of the top. And, I'm starting to get used to the colorful fonts, so I may be more easy-going rating the next few pages. Comments: I really think you should put lines around the test boxes. I like the busy background, but I know that it is a lot harder to work with them. (Note the busy Chibi-Chibi background used throughout this site.) Total: 73 pts. |
| Story Uh oh. This page was either not linked properly, or you didn't build it yet. Please don't put up a link to a major page before you complete it. I hate taking points away. You're score will suffer when I take the average of your site. Sorry, but it's my policy! Total: 0 pts. |
| Flukes Layout: 18 pts Background: 13 pts - You should not have music on this page, since visitors won't be staying long (they'll be viewing your flukes). And, also, again with the Gaia music. Images: 17 pts - Images definately need to be transparent for this background. I enjoyed the flukes. My favorite was the 3rd one. Information: 15 pts - At the top of the page, it says you have only three flukes, but when you scroll down, there are four. Just a minor error. Technicals: 15 pts - Quick loading and the links all work. Comments: This page, along with many others, ends quite abruptly. Add an invisible text box or something in PageBuilder to show more space at the bottom. Total: 78 pts. |
| Fanart Layout: 14 pts - Layout is okay. Nicely organized toward the bottom of the page. Background: 14 pts - Music doen't fit (Donkey Kong?). In fact, there shouldn't even be music, since visitors would be coming and going. Images: 17 pts - Nice fanart. I'm looking forward to seeing more from other artists. Information: 16 pts - I like that you have the artists' email addresses available. Technicals: 14 pts - Loads quickly, and there are those weird font colors again. Comments: Pretty cool section. Can't wait to see more. Total: 75 pts. |
| Downloads Layout: 9 pts - Not centered. Looks weird with the lines down the middle of the page. Background: 12 pts - Music is a little odd-sounding with the theme. Images: 13 pts Information: 11 pts - I don't know what some of the numbers mean. For example: Zelda4cursors (3). What do these mean? Explain. Technicals: 15 pts - Crazy font colors. Comments: I think it would be great if you had little previews of what each download looks like. Otherwise, you have to go through the long process of downloading Zip files not knowing what exactly you are going to get. Total: 60 pts. |
| Tests Layout: 13 pts - Main page in this section is not centered, but the layouts of the other pages look good so far. Background: 15 pts - Background music is not needed on the main page of this section, because visitors are there for only two seconds or so. Images: 17 pts Information: 5 pts - You definately need more questions. Either add more or don't have this page up yet. It disappointed me. Technicals: 15 pts - Nice font size and color (plain white). The test pages look okay. Comments: Should get the tests made for the intermediate and expert sections. Otherwise, don't put them up! This page has a lot of potential. Total: 65 pts. |
| Links Layout: 17 pts - Site links are not straight along the edge, but I like the categories (it makes the page easier to navigate). Background: 16 pts - Music is not really needed, but it is your decision. Images: 14 pts - Images look weird at the bottom, and need to be transparent. Information: 17 pts - Nice descriptions of the sites! Technicals: 19 pts - Quick loading, good colors. I checked every single link and they all worked! Good job! Comments: I should give you extra points for having a link to the Senshi Temple. I love that site! ^-^ Total: 83 pts. |
| Music Layout: 12 pts - A little unorganized. Background: 4 pts - Ah!! No background music! How are people supposed to listen to the music on your page when you already have some background music playing? Images: 17 pts Information: 10 pts - You should maybe describe where the songs are from. Technicals: 17 pts - Quick loading. The font colors look nice with the white background. Comments: Get rid of background music! Total: 60 pts. |
