first impression

When I first looked at Michelle's site, I was pleased that it looked like she'd taken the time to make a nice graphic for her layout and tried to make the css go well with the graphic.

Right off the bat it looks like she knows what she's doing with both the graphic part of the layout and the css coding.

It's very nice to see a model layout that doesn't feature your typical models. I like how the model on the left has bleached white hair. I also like how the two models that face us have intense, different make up.

graphic

I find Michelle's graphic fairly impressing, and I'm happy to say that I haven't seen the original images used in a layout before.

Michelle has blended the models nicely, used the colors featured in the original pictures, and hasn't made her graphic too big for her site. I'm rather captivated by the arms of the model on the left begin to be transparent, allowing people to see the background.

Speaking of the background, it looks like she's done a good job with her repeating background. However, the only problem is that when one scrolls down a little past the navigation links on the left, you can see the background doesn't match up anymore.

coding

The normal text of the site is white, usually I don't like black or white text, but this looks really good with the splatter of white paint on the graphic.

The bold and strike through text are a little boring. The bold text is especially hard to see because it's black on a dark grey background. The underlined text looks a little more exciting, being peach, it looks like she may have gotten that color out of the graphic, but I'm not sure about it. The links found in the content section are very nice, their colors (when normal or hovered over) both go well with the layout.

content

The content available from Summy Hearts includes icons, layouts, and wallpapers.

Not all of the icons look like Michelle really spent a long amount of time on them. most of them are fairly simple, but the pictures she has chosen, and the way she chooses to crop and filter those photos makes plain, original photos look amazing. Currently, all of the icons feature female models, so maybe there will be a greater variety in the future.

As far as available layouts, she only offers one. The one that's offered, Wish This Never End, looks stunning, and I can tell Michelle tried very hard on the layout. She's obviously got some talent in web design, and can almost positively say that I'm sure she'll be adding more lovely layouts.

She only offers two different wallpapers, but they're both gorgeous. She most definitely spent some time on these. They're only offered in one size though, 1024X768. If your screen resolution is set to 1024X768, I reccomend you stop by Summy Hearts and use one of her wallpapers, please be nice and leave her a cbox comment! You can always check back later to see when she's added more.

navigation

The subpages, listed along the left hand side, include home, about, content, site, talk, and affiliates. I particularly like how Michelle uses love, new soul, joy & the feat, strange world, possible mistake, and happy end as the links, but underneat each one she tells her visitors where it leads (home, affiliates, etcetera.)

overall

Overall, Summy Hearts is definitely a well organized site with a talented owner. Michelle has some serious talent, more so in her graphics than her codes.

Even though she offers three different things on her site, both the layouts and wallpapers don't have enough to really choose from. However, this is a growing site and I'm sure Michelle will add more!
