SPLASH PAGE (8/10 pts)
Ok...splash page. Not too bad. You list the requirements of your website, which is definately a good thing and gives it some sort of purpose (if splash pages even serve a purpose...haha). Besides that, there's nothing much else on it though. *shrug* Maybe a larger splash image would make this page better.
LAYOUT AND DESIGN (40/55 pts)
Cute pink layout =) I love pink...its my favorite color. This layout feels like it needs something though...I can't quite put my finger on what it is. LOL. Maybe some more colors or images or something. I get the point you're trying to present with the whole abstract thing...but maybe something not as abstract. The visitor might see your layout and question what exactly is going on with it. haha. But its a pretty decent layout...nothing major wrong with it. =)
CONTENT AND ORGANIZATION (22/30 pts)
Very easy to find navigation which is great. Suggestion for the sidebar: You should probably put your validations section under the "me" section or even at the bottom. I'm sure you're more important than your site validations! =) Also...you should probably move the "Contact" link more towards the "links" link. Its randomly in the middle of the rest of the graphic content. As for the button rotations...they're ok but keep in mind that since the buttons aren't hosted by your site, they can sometimes show up as broken images which won't make your site look too great =/
I LOVE the way you separated your blog from your updates. This will be of great use to visitors who want to just read about your updates...and those who just want to read your blog. As a matter of fact I would like this on my site...I'll have to ask how you did this later. =)
Your about me section is very nice. Amazing webdesign skills for a 13 year old =) Your other content is steered towards the visitor...offering graphics, tutorials, layouts etc. These are all great and are sure to keep your visitors occupied. I would love to see more of your "adoptables". They're very cute. There should probably be more content related to you though. If you do add more content about yourself, you should probably section your site off in the sidebar, creating a "me" header, a "visitor" or "graphics" header, and "site" header or something like that. This will help keep your content more organized.
I have some suggestions for your content pages: For your tutorials page, you need to make sure you have a breaking point between each section. (e.g there should be a space under the CSS section, a space under the HTML section etc). You could just use another
< br > When I first saw it it just looked like one long list...but then I realised some stuff wasn't clickable...because they were the headings! lol. You should definately set the headings apart from the rest of the text. Maybe a larger font or make it bolded or something. Same goes for your other content pages. For the Icons page..you should try to add spaces between each section (for icon templates..."88x31" should have it's own line like 50x50 does)...the links page as well...separate the content with a space and set the header apart.
"I <3 my host" I <3 you too! =) But you should probably make sure my link open in a new window...so people don't have to leave your site to go to mine. haha. Overall, very nice content.
CODING, BROKEN LINKS, ETC (4/5 pts)
On your links page, the image for your button is broken. =/ Good job validating your CSS, but why isn't your HTML validated?? I checked and theres only two errors! If I can fix 109 errors with my site, you can definately fix these two. hehe. The first is just that you don't have a doctype specified...I like to use html 4.01 which is the easiest. You can look at my source code for the doctype...should be at the top somewhere. And the second error is very minor...you just need an alt tag on one of your images. Once you clear these two up, your html should be nice and validated =)
TOTAL (74/100)
Lovely site with a solid amount of visitor content. The only main things I found were that you need to section of your content in your pages a little more and maybe make the layout a little more colorful and exciting =)
