S.O. Review by Wicked Smile Reviews

Link |5/5|

Our link is up and easy to find, which is perfect.

Layout/Splash |24/25|

I was thoroughly impressed with your layout. Already, I can see why you chose to do a design site - it seems as though it is something you are good at. The images used in your background are stunning (and I was surprised to find that they weren't brushes, but instead crafted by you - impressive). I also love the colors, not too dark but also not blinding.. nice and neutral. Personally, I like smaller layouts (even though this isn't too small) and I think that you chose a good way to set it up (with the content all centered, etc). The only thing that I can think of offhand that I'd add is a cursor effect ;D

Content |27/30|

I *love* how you have all of your content organized. I'm a compulsive freak when it comes to organization and I like how you have everything sorted and organized with dividers/titles (I like the dividers a lot, by the way). You offer a lot for the visitor, especially with your graphics (and since this is a design site, that is a major plus). You should try focusing, now, a bit more on your actual tutorials and walkthroughs - and whenever you get time add some more to the quizzes and "me" sections just because those are always nice bonuses (but your main concern at this point should probably lean more towards the actual 'content' of the site *tutorials, graphics, & walkthroughs* I really liked your M&M quiz ;] I'm the red M&M, in case you were wondering - haha.

Graphics |10/10|

From the graphics you have offered here to the ones you used on your very own page - everything looks fantastic.

Spelling/Errors |5/5|

None that I could find.

Originality/Style |15/15|

I haven't seen many design sites so I may not be able to supply much input on making that aspect more original, but as far as your site altogether - you aren't lacking in either the originality or style section. The personal quiz that you added is an excellent touch and a good way of giving your visitor something to entertain them that was created by *you*.

Overall |9/10|

Aside from a bit more content (which more than likely will naturally come over time), your site was damn near perfect. The layout was gorgeous and you provided the visitor with a lot of graphics/knowledge to take with them along with some interesting reads. The way you described your looks makes you seem like a very interesting person to look at - I mean a tu-toned striped girl! haha ;] Maybe you should think about adding some photos of yourself? This is just a side thought brought upon by my curiosity, and it's completely a personal choice of yours.

Extra |4/5|

Bonus for the above/beyond layout, your refreshing writing style, and your organization (hey, what can I say? I'm a sucker for a nice organized feel.)
