This is my webhost. Surprise!
This site's layout took a very long time to load, and I have a very fast connection. I can't imagine how long it might take on slow computers.
The layout has nice componenets: I love the flower brush and the sripes on the left, but after examining this layout a bit longer, I find it very unattractive. It's also extremely wide. If you have a 1024 X 768 resolution, you have to scroll to the right to see the navigation. Even on my laptop, [1200 X 800] it scrolls at the bottom.
Jessica has bad grammar. Really bad grammar.=(
Navigation
The navigation is off to the far right, and it composes of spaced out white images that do not match the layout at all, save for the font used.
This is the first site I've reviewed where the navigation actually confused me. There is a "content" link and a "you" link. The "you" actually leads to a request page, so logically it shoud be renamed "Requests." Then there is the "Pick-Up" link, which leads to an uncoded page where requestees pick up what the ordered. Just e-mail the works, my lord. How lazy and unprofessional.
The content is not that easy to navigate. Most of it leads to a gallery, where you must click link after link to get to the content.
Why is credits a text link far above the rest of the navigation?
The rest of the links are pretty self explanitory.
Header
There isn't really a header image, it's more of an all encompassing background image. As I've mentioned earlier, it very unattractive. The giant black box poloroid-thing for the c-box looks atrocious and is WAY too large for the tiny c-box it contains.
The blue lined paper + crumped paper is really bad looking. I think the layout would have looked much better had you not stuck the random crumpled paper in the middle for the content.
Why are the Affiliates located in the top left-hand corner in a drop-down menu?
Coding
The coding doesn't match the layout image AT ALL. The text is a dark blue, a color found nowhere in the image. The links match, but only because they are black. I haven't seen any text effects, but I doubt they'd match.
Content
The page leads to a list of content. At the top there is a "Graphics" link, which leads to main page of the gallery where she puts almost all of her resources. This is pointless, as she links them in the list below.
Banners
One Live to Live I am sure she means One Life to Live. This sub gallery has 13 albums! And quite a few of these images are just photos of the actors, i. e. on the red carpet, or screencapped. I also stumbled upon light stocks in the Starr and Cole album [How did that happen?]. Those that have been edited are edited fairly well. They make use of textures, brushes, etc and when text is used it's unobtrusive. There are a lot of poor quality images used in the blends, though.
General Hospital 19 albums! They tend to feature a character or two. Sidenote: I forgot Xenon went onto Soap Operas. /Sidenote Same criticism as above. Blended well, uses resources, but some have really grainy/blurry images used, and some are just images.
Gossip Girl 6 albums. Same strengths/weaknesses.
The secret life of the american teenager I've never heard of this show. Same comments. 4 albums. [Only two of these appear to be edited.]
Despret Housewives +twitch+ It's Desperate. 5 albums. Same comments.
Movies There are three albums: The Notebook [10], Dream Girls [1], and Walk the Line [0]. Why is the Walk the Line album even here if it's empty? Same comments.
Twlight Oh, seriously? Twilight is the correct spelling. Plus, this is a movie, is it not? Why does it get it's own category? Out of all teh galleries, this one has the best banners.
Textures
Light Textures It's empty. They wound up in one of the One Life To Live albums.
Set 2 Three of these show up in her frame on the site, and a link at the bottom leads you to the rest of "set 2." Of course, it opens in the same window, and I had to hit the back button about 8 times to get back to her site. I like the textures of water on glass. I don't see those often.
Stock
Beach There are 27 of these. The images are very large, which is nice, but her camera, or th manner in which she saved them, made them fuzzy and grainy. Where ever she was, the ocean sure was blue where she took these.
Flowers There are only four of these, but I can see them being helpful. One is just grass. =/
Farm These are farm animals, such as emus and chickens. I don't know how often people need images of farm animals, though.
Vectors (Graphic Designing)
Drawings There is just one, somewhat small, image of citrus fruits. They aren't drawn very well, but they do have an impressionist fort of look to them. I think this would be better in a portfolio, rather than in visitor content.
Layouts
There is just one. It's purple. The download link to see it/download it doesn't work.
Site Names
Oh, this is just ridiculous. Fraise? [Which is strawberry in French] Ha! There is one that means "water spray" in French. Not only are these bad, but they're really pointless. People have no trouble naming their own sites. This page should be deleted.
Color Themes
What the hell? She didn't make a lot of these. She just took them off of ColourLovers. Never distribute content that you didn't make! And then she has the nerve to ask for credit because it "took a long time to find them."
PNG's
Does not exist. The apostrophe is not needed.
Patterns
These are not good patterns. Two were made with default photoshop brushes. The wood one would be good if it looked realistic.
Brushes
Does not exist.
Wallpapers
There are five, and none of them are a standard desktop size. OI really like the Colour Shock wallpaper, of course I could do without the girl's underwear showing.
Icons (My icons)
A Walk to Remember I would like to see more diversity in these. The images are sharp, at least. I'm not a fan of how the scratch texture was used.
Disney A couple of these are fuzzy. Though they do appear to ave been contrasted, I find them sort of boring because they're just cropped images. No brushes, textures, or text. More than three disney cartoons would be nice, too.
Robin and Patrick Uh, who? These too are boring, and their content is a little strange. I'd like to see some textures or brushes... and I'd like to know where these two are from.
Starr and Cole There are quite a few repeats in here. These are boring as well. Where are these two from?
Summary
The content on this site isn't spectacular. The site isn't great. There are some banners that are really good, but it's very hard to find them and the rest of the content negates them as a reason to return. The site is also a nightmare to read. I will never return here again. If you love soap operas, you might want to take a gander.
Sugesstions
Spell check and use proper grammar. Your site is difficult and confusing to read.
Remove your broken links, or fix them.
I strongly suggest removing the site names page.
LINK to the sites on the credit's page. Don't just paste the url.
