first impression

The google advertisements on the left and the youtube then yahoo clips along the right make the site look tacky and cluttered right off the bat

The dark grey white noise background doesn't relate to the graphic, which makes both the graphic and the background look a little worse. The colors (dark grey and black) are in the graphic, though, just not the white noise effect.

Other than that, it looks like the site is fairly well organized.

graphic

Mandie's site layout is currently a model layout with brushes and sunbursts in the background of the graphic, and a dark grey white noise background.

The graphic's colors are neon purple and dark blue, not a very good combination. The original pictures have been edited so that the model's skin is literally white, but the rest of her (eyes, shadows, hair, shirt, etcetera) is still colored. I don't find this a very appealing look, but maybe this is what Mandie was going for.

It's nice to see that her site name is easily readable across the top of the graphic.

coding

The white background of the content is sort of an eye sore next to the purple/blue graphic and dark grey background.

However, the bold, italics, and underlined fonts all match colors in the graphic.

The headers are a little boring, small fonts, size 5, uppercase, black on white. Just a little boring, but if Mandie was going for a simple look, she's accomplished it well.

content

Content available from Jealousy Heart includes layouts, tutorials, wallpapers, icons, site reviews, and myspace layotus & extras. Nice! Lots of options for visitors.

Her layouts are impressing, and most of them look nicer than her site layout, which means Mandie has the ability to make good layouts. There's a variety of layouts to choose from, and within each genre, you can find several different styles. Very well done.

Her one tutorial is very simple, she didn't write anything out for it, just screen capped it and scrawled on it in paint, but anyone using the tutorial would be able to follow her directions.

Some of Mandie's wallpapers are better than others. Convenientally, she offers two different resolutions, which is nice for her visitors. Her wallpapers sized 1024 x 768 do not fit the correct resolution, their actual sizes are 1024 x 683, 1024 x 683, 1000 x 739, and 1000 x 739, .

It looks like the icons are merely cropped portions of her layouts.

I'm not judging her myspace layouts.

The review homepage looks almost identical to that of ohlovely.org, which is weird.

navigation

The site is very easily navigated! The links are all listed where the graphic meets the content: home, stats, owner, visitor, reviews, requests, affiliates, and host.

overall

Jealousy Heart could use some work. Mandie can obviously make layouts, you can plainly see so in the layouts available for her visitors, but you wouldn't be able to tell by her site layout.

I suggest that her work be done a little slower... not all of her wallpapers were even the sizes she said they were, her avatars are cropped from her layouts, and her review homepage couuld be a little more unique to her site.

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.
