FIRST IMPRESSION (10/10 pts)
Beautiful. The colors are very pleasing, the background is gorgeous and ornate, the header is breathtaking. It has a very old-fashioned decorative look to it.
LAYOUT AND DESIGN (54/55 pts)
As I said, the layout as a whole is beautiful. Its extremely hard to even find a problem with it. One thing I'm not to fond of is the font you used on your header...it seems too rough or something. Also, perhaps the navigation below the header being centered would look a bit better as well. But overall your layout really is amazing...everything seems to be just perfect. =)
CONTENT AND ORGANIZATION (27/30 pts)
You know how to organize your content well. It seems you have your blog divided into 4 different categories. I was a bit confused with "re-opening" category...you have a "site" category as well...shouldn't anything having to do with your site just go into the "site" blog instead of in a "re-opening" blog? This is probably just your preference though...it just seems like too many categories. =P
I loved your About section...it was unique in the way it was written and parts of it made me chuckle =) Next is your icons section. You seem extremely serious about your icons. haha. There's a huge page of rules and password protection and...wow. (is this all really nessesary?) I make a ton of LJ icons too...but I've never taken them to this level of security. =P Anyway...after reading the word "credit" about 80 times I finally found my way to the icon page. They're all quite lovely...maybe add more variety for bases though.
Your porfolio was my favorite section. You are extremely talented with graphics and I loved the colors and textures you used in your artwork. My favorites pieces were the second one, the ninth one, and the 12th one. =)
Next you have a downloads page. Its pretty nice...but you probably need more on it besides textures (but I assume you are probably still building this up)
Next is a very interesting page about withcraft. This is definately a section of content unique to your site =) I found much of it very interesting...most visitors probably will to. Excellent job!
CODING, BROKEN LINKS, ETC (4/5 pts)
Your HTML is perfectly validated! I'm not sure about your CSS however. After finding the link to it I checked the CSS validator and it gave me a couple of errors. They're not huge errors though. After fixing that up I'd suggest adding "Valid CSS" to your meta section. Your site also displayed and functioned perfectly in both Internet Explorer and Firefox. I would have tried Opera, but my computer crashed today and I don't have Opera downloaded on this computer. =/ But I'm sure it will display fine there as well since its fine in Firefox. Having your site validated will help your site to be displayed in most browsers.
TOTAL (95/100)
Overall your site was beautiful, well organized, and a pleasure to visit and review =) All I can tell you is to try to add some more visitor content for the downloads section and any more interesting content you can think of. Keep up the great work! =)
