Reviewed while owning previous site: Altered-Fate.

introduction

site: Amaranthine
owner: Ariel
reviewed: July 28th, 2008

screen shot

click to enlarge, opens in a new window.

first impression

The graphic looks a little dull, a zoom in on two flowers (even though I think it's just the same flower that's been repeated.) A plain black background.

The coding doesn't look too thrilling, either.

graphic

Two purple flowers up close, five random bulbs of washed out purple, a plain black background, and the site name shown clearly.

If Ariel has photoshop/psp/whatever, I suggest she learn how to use it more effectively.

coding

Looks a little dull, but the colors match the layout and everything can be read easily.

The headers look nice with the larger, italic letter starting each word. Classy.

content

On Amaranthine you will find avatars, layouts, myspace layouts, brushes, color palettes, and icon bases.

While looking around on these pages, I noticed that the div/table doesn't match up with the graphic. if you click here, you can see what I mean.

Avatars;
The avatars have been made well. Some are simple, some are a little more complex, but they're really well done and come in various genres.

Layouts;
Some of the layouts (most, actually) are a lot nicer than Ariel's current site layout.

It seems very tedious and stupid that If there are any problems with the layout, leave a message in the c-box about it. is written next to ever single layout. Just state that once at the top of the page and get over it.

Myspace Layouts;
They're well done. She doesn't tell us where to put the code... but now I see she tells you on the actual page where you can get the code.

Again with the problem/cbox thing.

Brushes;
Fairly plain, not much else to say.

Color Palettes;
Very dull colors. I'm not a fan of naming color schemes, I think it's awfully stupid and a waste of time.

Icon Bases;
Pretty plain, fairly sharp images though. These aren't really bases... just very boring icons.

navigation

Subpages include homepage, ariel, site, links in/out, resources, tagboard, avatars, layouts, myspace layouts, brushes, color palettes, icon bases, and reviews.

I don't think Ariel has a good enough site to offer reviews, to be honest.

Where are her resources... hmm. I don't know, I can't find her resources anywhere.

On the Link in/out page... what is the signifigance of a link exchange? If she's linking them, and they're linking her... can't they be affiliates?

overall

Amaranthine could use some sprucing up, a resources page, and content that's a little more interesting.

Based on Ariel's previous site layout (shown on her site page), I can see she really does know what she's doing, and perhaps tried a different style for the current site layout.

comments

note: the cbox below is the same one on all review pages.

if you leave a comment... then refer to the name of the site. This review was for Zellow Productions

This cbox is for visitors to comment about the sites that have been reviewed. It is not for visitors' complaints, defending of friends, telling me how to review sites, or for juding my site. If you want to do one of those listed above, feel free to e-mail me at skylineillusions@yahoo.com which is the site e-mail that I check frequently; I don't feel as if there is a need for any one to e-mail me over these reviews, though. I check this cbox about once every two weeks, usually only if one of my friends says "Go look at that cbox!"


When inappropriate comments are found (though it will probably be soon after they've been posted) they will be deleted.
