Hi Anisa, congratulations you’re my first review; you must feel very honoured, just kidding. I’ll be looking at your layout, content and some technicalities of your website. I hope you enjoy the review. So first impressions, your website looks clean and organised. I have mixed feeling about the header image though; I’ll get into details with that later on.

Layout

Your website’s main text is readable, although a larger line height would make it easier on the eyes, my own general rule is to have the line height around 1.5 times the font size you use. Both your sidebars header and main title header are the same font, size and colour; this can be distracting and make your visitors be drawn toward your sidebar too much. Giving the sidebar header a smaller font size or lighter colour would be a good idea, so it allows your content to grab most of your visitors attention.

Your header image is pretty but at the same time it’s quite dull if I’m honest, I like how you use different colours and textures in your header but the image seems a bit dark. Your bottom half of your website is bright white, and the top is pitch black, the contrast is so much that it makes your header image dull. Having over vibrant layouts is a no-no but having dull layouts kind of reduce the wow factor of your designing skills in my opinion. You have to find a medium; perhaps if you brightened up the header image, then it could work very well with your white and black background. Another issue I see in your header image is the fact I can hardly notice you have you site title inside it, I never noticed it until I was examining your layout more than your average visitor would.

It’s great to see that your website is centred, it really is. It makes your website look very professional and accessible. Plus you have valid CSS, yayyyy you!! But that button is super ugly in my opinion and it takes a lot of the visitors attention, you should either make a text link stating that you have valid CSS or just plonk the button at the bottom of your page where it could live quite happily and not distract visitors.

Having that ‘Disclaimer’ thing in your sidebar is unnecessary; it makes your sidebar longer and more clustered. Create a ‘Disclaimer’ page instead, link the page in your footer or in your 'WWW' section - crisis solved :)
In your welcome message you’ve wrote: You may request be emailing me at anisa-1993@hotmail.com. This site is hosted by freedomain.co.nr and awardspace.

However, there seems to be a problem in the statement you made because your website looks rather wierd in IE 7.0 I'm not sure what the exact problem is, but you might have made a mistake in your container coding. I have a centred container template if you want to use one.

Content

Anisa

Well as soon as I started to read this page I spotted a few spelling and grammar errors instantly. You've used on numerous occasions the firt-person pronoun, but wrote 'i', tis should be 'I' (capital letter!). I don't really understand the first sentence you have wrote about yourself, liadback and being lazy have the same meaning, so there is no need to repeat the word, if you understand what I mean. Also this is not a 'bio' becaase a'biography' is someone who has wrote about someone else's life. Correct this to 'autobio' or 'autobiography'.

Oh my god, you loathe Disney?!?! really? Sure lately they have been producing teen bopper films but classics such as Cinderella and The Lion King are superb. I agree with you on all the rest of the things. My my, you have wrote a looooong list of artists in the 'On My MP3' section, perhaps too many to read? You could describe why you like certain artists or what particular tracks you like. Everything else in this section is pretty okay. Try adding some more things like photos, favourite sayings, more of a detailed description of your autobiography and maybe more about your family?

Content

Nicely organised visitor section, downloads and resources broken down.
Premade Layout: I've noticed a one or two more spelling/grammar mistakes here, please fix them. Hmmm well celebrity layouts, such a controversial topic. I don't want to to be stepping on egg shells. All I can say is try to make some premade layouts from your own images (you've taken yourself). I like the layout which has Chace Crawford in (are they casts from Gossip Girl?), I like the Paramore layout and Demi Lovato. Well done in categorising them!

Buttons: Nothing I haven't seen before, add some more, such as other patterns, maybe add a few buttons that have effects on them, like moving dotted border.

Cut Out Images: Out of any celebrity content, I dislike cut outs, they are extremely useful, but just don't 'cut it out' for me (hehe hidden little pun going on there). This is because I don't mind celebrity layouts, atleast people try to show creativeness in them but cut-outs are very unoriginal, and cross the line on copyright's in my own opinion. Kay, time for some postive feedback; you've cut them out nicely.

PSP Scripts: First one is pretty and the colouring on it is okay (like how you changed her hair to red). The second one is a little too sharpened on the 'after' side and tad too bright. I like the cute little 'download' icon below them.

WWW

I enter this section and read a nice little outline of your Domain history. I love reading these to find out how siteowners started. It's nice to hear that you've decided to come back to webdesigning after the minor setback (having crap internet connections).

Link Me: Oh lovely buttons you've got there and a code snippet aswell, good stuff.

Resources: Organised and useful, you need to have a line break between the DeviantArt and Live Journal link. Try to be specific in the which exact deviant or journal you used resources from.

Tutorials

I remember seeing more tutorials on your past website, I'm guessing you got rid of them, you should bring them back! The two tutorials you have up at the moment are well written and easy to follow. You've added pictures/screenshots and steps. I hope you make some more because clearly tutorial writing is something you are very good at.

So this brings me to the end of your review. You have a nice range of content, but could add some more things. Even though you only have two tutorials, they are very very good, I suggest you make some more. This review turned out far longer than I expected it to be, but I liked reviewing your website. The major issue with your website is the spelling and grammer. I hope you sort out the IE issue, I don't know if it's just me but it's a big problem if all your IE visitors experience it. I've seen your past layouts and have been impressed by them, the colours, CSS and overall presentation was very good. Unfortunately this one didn't impress me, I hope you picked up a few things from this review and I wasn't too harsh or boring. Good luck with everything.
