background information
site: Live Laugh Love Designs
owner: Ann-Marie
reviewed: August 22nd, 2008screen shot
The code looks better than the graphic.
In the sidebar it says there are two owners, but on the form that Ann-Marie sent in, she only listed herself. Not to mention that there are nine "designers" for the site.
In the "Getting Reviewed By" section I'd like to point out that I am not "Skyline Illusions Reviews" I am a site with a lot of content, reviews, and hosting. Skyline Illusions.
The graphic is so-so, more brushes could ave been used, the circle brushes could have been nixed, the text should look a lot better, it's not very exciting t all.
However. Content includes graphics, downloads, and fun stuff. I don't include challenges or plugboards, sorry.
graphics;
A lot to sort through...
Affiliate Boxes;
People can make their own. This is a waste of space and time. They're not even unique! They're just solid colors!
Blends;
What, no previews? The only blend, Selena Gomez, is nice, orderly, and well made.
Masks;
No previews again? Oh, I see. This is the same thing in the background of the site layout. Well, I don't find it
attractive at all. I don't understand why anyone would use this.
Welcome Signs;
Does she have something against previews? People can make their own welcome signs! The only welcome sign
isn't attractive, anyway. It looks like the Selena Gomez blend with different people and colors.
Revamp Signs;
Okay, seriously, the lack of previews is annoying. PEOPLE CAN MAKE THEIR OWN REVAMP SIGNS!!! This is a waste
of space and time. The only one available isn't even nice or interesting. Brushes!!
Banners;
Boring. PEOPLE CAN MAKE THEIR OWN!!!
Patters;
These aren't special in any way. People can make their own.
Backgrounds;
These are the exact same two that are available under patterns. They're still not special, and people
can still make their own.
Link Buttons;
....people can make their own.
Icons;
No. Visitors cannot use this on all instant messengers. What instant messenger was Ann-Marie referring to?
For AIM they're much too big. These are okay. Half are just cropped pictures. The other half are cropped pictures
with a name written on them.
Gradients;
...people can make their own.
Color Schemes;
If people use them, they shouldn't have to credit this website. This website does not own these colors.
Some of these are okay. Four out of the nine vailable are just shades of a color.
Downloads;
I'm really tired of these links taking me to new pages with a bunch of new links on them.
Free Programs;
These are not Ann-Marie's. They just link visitors to websites where they can download stuff.
This is just plain stupid.
Fonts;
I seriously doubt Ann-Marie has made these fonts. She doesn't say if she has. If she hasn't, she doesn't say
where she has gotten them from. She doesn't say how to use or install them, either.
Scripts;
These are links to other sites that offer things. Waste of Ann-Marie's space. And a waste of my time
to look at and write about.
Brushes;
One text brush set that looks pixalated and crappy.
Fun Stuff;
I'm not reviewing stupid games and guess the movie star things.
Interact is the site content, not ways to interact with the staff.
Where are resources? In the sidebar along the bottom it says "For the credits, please view the credits page under site in the extras section. " Okay... so, I went to the extra page. Now the subpages are awards, past layouts, reviews, blacklist, abot the site, about the designers, errors, contact us, and FAQ. I don't see and credits or resources.
Delete the useless/waste of space content and focus on things that people will actually use.
Maybe credits are listed, but I followed the instructions from the sidebar and couldn't find them, so Ann-Marie should make her resources easier to find. Or add them. I really couldn't find any.
if you leave a comment... then refer to the name of the site. This review was for Live Laugh Love Designs
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!"
