Tiramisyu

background information

site: Tiramisyu
owner: Wendy
reviewed: October 18th, 2008

first impression

I love the layout's graphic!

It's impressive that she has her site skinned, but I'm only going to be reviewing the default layout.

graphic

I really do like this graphic a lot. It's so intense, though I can see how some people may find it cluttered. There are a lot of colors in it, which could annoy some people, too.

I still love it though. It looks great the way the edges shift to the background image and the model looking at you looks amazing.

coding

I don't feel as if the CSS is as good as the graphic, but it's still nice.

The colors match (there were a lot to choose from) and I can read everything.

content

Visitor content includes stock/base icons, premade layouts, hosting, cutsom layouts, and tutorials.

stock/base icons;
When I open them up site layout changes. Is that a problem with the skins of the site? A lot of these just seem like cropped images. I've always found icon bases to be sort of a waste of time...

premade layouts;
there's only one, but it's great.

interruption; In this point in the review I can no longer go back to the original skin. Only the second skin is loading. I would assume... that Wendy is online right now and has just taken down the original skin.

hosting;
Her hosting sounds great, I would reccomend anyone looking for hosting to check Wendy's plan out!

custom layouts;
This section sounds really good, too! I'm sure all of the graphics she makes for the layouts are wonderful.

tutorials;
They seem easy to follow. A lot of them are tutorials I've never seen before, which is great.

navigation

Navigating the site is easy. Subpages include home, folio, domain, goodies, tutorials, hosting, a link out of the site, and a link to a friend (?).

A very short list of credits can be found off of the domain page. She should make sure she continues to add to that.

overall

This is a nice site and the owner has amazing graphic skills, which you can clearly see in her site graphic.

I think fixing the skin problem is the biggest problem that should be addressed. I originally thought it was a problem, but you all can see (if you scroll back up) that in the "interruption" in the middle of the content section, I've noted that I think she's taken down the original skin.

The icon bases seem pointless. People can crop pictures themselves.

It's great that she offers custom layouts!

comments

if you leave a comment... then refer to the name of the site. This review was for Tiramisyu

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!"
