introduction

site: Dance Floor
owner: Kinza
reviewed: October 4th, 2008

first impression

Overload on the peach color! I don't understand why she thought peach would go with those vibrant and neon colors.

The green sillhouette looks pixalated.

graphic

The graphic doesn't have an original image; but that's not a bad thing. I suppose the green... blob of a person with outrageous hair in the middle could have been an image that was edited and filled in, though I've seen silhouette brushes that could have been used.

It just looks like a mass of brushes in random colors were thrown up on a black background, the site name was typed up incompletely different colors, and an extremely large table was placed in for the divider.

coding

Very boring. Peach background, black, purple, green...

I don't see any cool text effects or anything that stands out for a good reason.

content

Content includes multiple types of avatars, blends, signs, pixels, layouts, backgrounds, "music codes," and various resources and tutorials.

avatars;
Really plain cropped images with minimal editing. What's the point of offering blank avatars?

blends;
The previews are pixalated which doesn't make me want to open them for a full view. I absolutely hate the snap shots preview that pops up; it's extremely annoying. The blends are boring for the most part. Just because you categorize them as blends doesn't mean you can't use brushes and text effects and make them actually look good.

signs;
Why would anyone seriously use these? They should be making theor own, anyway.

pixels;
The pixels are nice but aren't complex.

layouts;
These layouts are not nice at all. The graphics are poorly made and can barely pass for graphics. The coding is a little boring, sometimes the text is hard to read, and I'm not very impressed.

backgrounds;
Little squares with a colored orb on them are not backgrounds no matter how many times you can make them repeat on your page. The grunge backgrounds are just the same backgrounds with a filter on them!

music codes;
What do I do with the music codes? Where do I put them? Where did she get them from? Does she credit anyone?

resources;
People should make their own banners. People will not print out and use those bookmarks. The color palettes are mostly shades of one color. Aww the emoticons are cute. Layout templates... seem like a supreme waste of time. A lot of these are boring and seemed really rushed.

tutorials;
These seem helpful and easy to understand/follow along with.

services;
The "for hire" thing is a joke, right? Why would anyone use her for help like that? The other three pages seem pretty normal/not insane.

navigation

Navigating this site isn't hard. There's an image map which consists of home, site, graphics, resources, tutorials, and services.

Credits, anyone?

A small list of credits can be found off of her site page. Under the images section she has to list all sites she got images from instead of saying "other images copyrighted to their rightful owners."

overall

I would not return to this site for anything it offers. Visitor content seems boring and rushed, uncreative, and repetetive.

The site layout was poorly made, brushes were just thrown together in various unmatching colors, and then shades of peach were thrown in, too.

She really needs to credit all sources for images, not just her beloved neopets.com.
