background information

site: Coloured-Hearts
owner: Danielle
reviewed: September 25th, 2008

screen shot

first impression

The graphic is orderly and a little small, but that's not a bad thing at all. I'm not sold on the graphic, but at a glance the coding looks nice.

graphic

The pictures of Hilary Duff are nice, put they've been cut out sloppily with large amounts of pink/beige bordering Duff. The image effects used look a little funky, and the image in the back just looks plain weird because of her eyes. The pictures on the left and right go well together, though the one on the right looks a little more pink tinted.

The front, middle image goes nicely with the red theme, but making a person red like that looks peculiar.

I like the flower brushes, but the circle/target brush is a little lame and boring.

I can barely read the site name, though I can blatantly see "Hilary Duff" in big letters.

coding

A lot of red and a lot of white with a black background. Everything is able to be read really easily, which is great.

Fonts that look alike have been used: tahoma, verdana, etcetera, for most fonts, except for the italic text. It's a little boring and repetetive.

The links in the sidebar have no hover effect! How boring!

content

Visitor content includes downloads, graphics, photography, PNG's, resources, tutorials, and others.

downloads;
None of the links to the subpages work.

graphics;
I hate it when sites have subpage after subpage... Affiliate Images;
Affiliate images can be made by whomever wants to use them, they're pretty pointless and a waste of space to offer.

Backgrounds;
Link doesn't work.

Blends;
Most of the blends are blended nicely, are attractive, and aren't boring at all.

Button Bases;
People can and should make their own button bases, this is another waste of time and space.

Bullets;
Link doesn't work.

Coded Layouts;
One. The Jonas Brothers. This is so boring! The graphic and the css are just so dull. Based on Danielle's blends, I know she can do better.

Icons;
A lot are just cropped pictures. The ones with editing and enhancements look a lot better.

Mini Blends;
Where would anyone use these?

Pixels;
Link doesn't work.

Pixel Text;
Link doesn't work.

Retouches;
These are nice, but I have no reference, how about before pictures? So, can I use these in a layout if I wanted to?

html codes;
I hate all of these subpages, dear god.

Oh, hey, she says she didn't make any of them. Why does she offer them then!? I don't even see a link to the real owners!

I'm not reviewing this part! It's not hers!

Photography;
Link doesn't work.

PNG'S
No apostrophe needed. Link doesn't work.

Resources;
Again with the crapload of subpages.

coded layouts;
Why are these in resources? Weren't they in graphics, too? Yes, they were, I already reviewed this...

color palettes;
There's not much one can say about color palettes...

Icon textures;
Just let visitors crop full size textures!

scans;
Link doesn't work.

scripts;
Link doesn't work.

stocks;
Link doesn't work.

textures;
Link doesn't work.

tutorials;
Six of the eight links don't even work. On the subpages, not all of the links work. The tutorials, overall, seem easy to follow.

others;
Link doesn't work.

navigation

Navigation is easy to find and use. Subpages include main, domain, owner, contests, and for you.

A nice list of resources can be found off of the domain page, which is wonderful.

overall

Experimenting more on graphics before making them final; some techniques don't look good and some don't go well together.

FIX ALL OF THOSE BROKEN LINKS! It's not just one or two, it's a lot more! If visitors can't get to the content, they can't use it or view it.

Quite a few useless content sections... I would suggest focusing on more useful content. Putting her time into the useful content instead of spreading it out over an abundance of content would be a good idea: if she spends more time on fewer things, she'll improve on those quicker and make nicer content.

Again: really... fix all of those broken links. Jesus.

There was only one color in the site code besides black. Red! It got boring really quickly. Color schemes are nice.

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 Coloured-Hearts

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!"
