    Site Name
    Unloadeed is a pretty original an creative site name. It’s easy to remember and clear. Congrats on it.

    Layout
    First thing I wanna tell you, that it’s a too bright. You have lots of bright colors, and hard to read. Anyway let’s start with your header image. It’ look pretty good, but if you shouldn’t add that square and add a dark glow,would be perfect. You sidebar isn’t clear. You used a bright green on a white background. Be sincerely, do you understand something from there? Because I hardly can understand something. Another thing that I noticed, is the big amount of ads and banners. Almost 60% from your sidebar contain ads and banners. First thing you should have in your sidebar is a welcome message, where you present yourself, saying something about your website. After, you should have a recent updates list, because would help your visitors to see your updates. In your content, I noticed the stroke text. It’s yellow. Can you tell me what’s wrote there? If you didn’t noticed, is impossible to read that text, really. Anyway, in conclusion, your layout is very bright and already my eyes hurt. You should make a better contrast between colors. If you use a white background, use dark colors for header and text and vice versa.

    Coding And Validation
    Checking your coding with http://validator.w3.org you have 22 errors and 3 warnings in XHTML1.0 Transitional. First error it’s caused by the alt=”" tag from a link. The alt=”" tag, it’s used ONLY for images, not links. You should remove it from there.Another errors is caused by using uppercase letters in codes, “SCRIPT LANGUAGE” and “SRC” should be “script language” and “src”.

    The next error is caused by your bid advertiser code. It contain the “&” character, that’s not allowed in HTML or XHTML, you you have to replace it with “&”. The rest of errors are like the ones I mentioned above, it’s simple and fast to correct them.

    Your CSS has 6 errors and 4 warnings. All the errors are caused by adding this in your CSS: overflow-y. This property doesn’t exist in CSS 2.1, so it’s better to remove it. The warnings are caused by writing the family names with white spaces. Try to put the name of fonts between quotes.

    Checking your CSS with Clean CSS, your CSS can be shortened with 13.7%. I advice you to copy the CSS there and just shorten it, or if you want you can do it manually. Why to short it? Because so, your website will be loaded faster.

    Content
    Let’s see what’s here baby!

    Site
    OK, the About The Site section is pretty nice. The story is pretty good, but, I don’t like that you credited only 5-6 sites. I’m totally sure that you used more resources from others, also the inspiration matter too. Would be better to move credits on a separate page and think to all the sites you used resources. On the About The Ownerpage, you have some characters with this symbol “?”. Would be better to correct those things, because, the page will not be validated, also, many people could not understand what you’re writing. WOW, the link back buttons looks awesome. You did an awesome job with those.
    The ADS page looks so messed up. Anyway, you should keep only bid advertiser ads, and place them in the layout, not on a separate page. I don’t know if someone will click them, so it’s better to place them in the layout.

    Graphics
    I see you have 4 different categories of resources, so it’s better to name this page visitor or resources. The Free Layouts looks awesome, but some are too bright too. Just try to fix them, also should make on homepage, a layout like those. The Blank Buttons looks good, but some of them are a bit blurred. I don’t get what are those Blog Templates. Also the previews are confusing. Looks like an image wouldn’t be there. It’s better to check them out. Are you sure those vectors are made by you? If not would be better to delete them and try to don’t re-distribute. the Textures looks pretty nice and creative. Good job. The Photoshop resources are great. I advice you to make some preview=s for brushes and more styles. I love the first action. You did a great effect. The wallpaperslooks great, but aren’t made by you right. The last one is took from deviant-art. I have that photo to favorites there. You should make your own, not just copy them from deviant art.

    Tutorials
    You have nice and useful tutorials here, but at the same time you have basic and simple. Who do you think that doesn’t know to cut a PNG? Also, many people know how to add a fav icon to their website or make a marque text.

    Hosting
    Obviously, I’m not going to review this, anyway you have good prices and many hostees. That’s a good thing, congrats.

    Checking all the pages, I noticed that the title from blogs and pages is stroked. I guess it’s because you didn’t have any padding to that header, maybe adding some padding will fix the problem.

    Organisation And Errors
    I don’t like your organisation. You gave me the impression that you don’t care about how your website looks, even if I know that you care. Well, try a new layout, make a good contrast between colors and I’m sure everything will be fine. I didn’t find any broken links or images.
    Originality And Creativity

    I saw many things stolen on your website. Also, you didn’t gave credit and this is the most important thing. I can’t say that you are original and creative, because a good part of your content seems to be stolen.

    Overall
    Amanda, if you work more I’m sure you can make this website a good one. Just try to remove the stolen content/tutorials and make your own. Be original and creative. Open your Photoshop/Gimp and start creating something nice, with brushes effects. I’m sure that if you practice more, everything will be better. It’s important to be appreciated for your work. Also, the current layout looks messed up. You know, that first thing that matter for a visitor it’s first impression. do you think you impress with those bright colors? I’m not sure of this, well maybe if you fix all the errors I mentioned and start over, you can be much better

    Lisa gave it ***-- on 2nd Sep 2009 and said:

    First impression
    The first thing I noticed was the loading time. Two minutes to load the website. It might just be my sucky Internet connection however, who knows.
    The default text is not pleasing to look at. The black Times New Roman is boring, plain and unpleasant on the eyes. Changing it to the font you are using on your links, Arial, in eg. a shade of grey would be much better.

    Layout
    I like the colours you've used. I think they're smooth and nice to look at, unlike many other website layouts. The shadow beneath the colourful vertical lines on the header is a nice touch.

    One thing about the header that's bothering me is that it sort of looks like a button, which I'd like to click, but it doesn't do anything. I suggest you to either link your header to your index or remove the button-like look.
    The header is also not very memorable - it's simple, almost plain. Perhaps a few brushes, dots or lines here and there would make it stand out more.

    I also noticed that you have no footer. Why not repeat the diagonal lines here as well, to give the layout a more finished look? It looks so very naked. Poor footer.

    Navigation
    The text is far too light and small for a navigation. Replace the font with a more decorative font: Lucida Sans or even Georgia. Consider darkening the colour, or add a background. It is hardly noticeable on the white background.
    I don't understand why there is a black solid line over "Home". It looks out of place.
    I also suggest moving the "Home" link down at the bottom of your navigation.
    It might go like this:
    1. Site
    2. Graphics
    3. Tutorials
    4. Hosting

    (You don't have a category about yourself! If it is a personal website, why not dedicate a whole section about yourself instead of just one page?)

    Also consider moving the advertisements down to the bottom. You don't want advertisements to be the first thing your visitors see when they visit your website.

    Ah, the link for hosting leads to another website. Let your visitors know that they're leaving Unloadeed. Perhaps naming it "Hosting at So-Fresh" or "So-Fresh Hosting". Or simply add a * after the text.
    This is handy when you want your visitors to stay for as long as possible, and not leave straight away.

    Coding
    Your headers, mainly the h1, doesn't look good, in my opinion. The underline goes through the first letter, which isn't looking very pretty. I sometimes can't read the reader.
    I know you probably did this on purpose, but I think increasing the line height would be look and feel better, like your other headers.

    "Site"
    The "Site"-page is looking lonely. It contains only a few links, that's all. Moving the content from "About the site" to the index, would definitely make this page more nicer and complete.

    Your 469x60 button: I believe the more used size is 468x60.

    Ad Page - I understand that you want to earn money from your website, but these ads. They're flashing and making my computer unbelievably slow! Bah, I don't understand how the Google ads etc. work, but if it's possible to not have the neon flashing makes-you-blind ads, then I strongly suggest you to remove them.
    Please leave a note on the "Site"-page that that page contains only ads. Perhaps a "Help Unloadeed stay online" (because the ads are helping you pay the bills), or a "Warning: Heavy ads".

    About the site:
    opened, We should be opened, we
    A Contest should be A contest

    About the owner:
    other then chicken should be other than chickens
    before-they tasted like chicken--but should be before - they tasted like chicken - but

    I also strongly suggest you to organise the facts about you in a list.

    "Graphics"
    You've linked the website layouts as "Website layouts", but written "Web Site Layouts" as the header.
    I think these look very pretty. I myself am such a procrastinator when making layouts, so kudos to you for having the creativity to make such a large amount of layouts.

    Vectors - Theseare gorgeous! I like the gradient red splat, it's very.. fine to look at that? He-he, I think you've done a very good job on these. May I ask what program you used?
    The snowflake look complicated - it must have taken you quite a while to make, I bet.
    I'd love to see more.

    Avatars - The nature ones are pretty, but the misc. are fairly boring. These are almost old, I assume, from looking at the text and the border. The icon that says "Love me, forever ever" has a boring font (the "forever ever" part).
    The layout doesn't show up on this page.

    Wallpapers - I think you should let people know what size your wallpapers are. We all have different resolutions, so clicking the thumbnails and notice that it is the wrong size, is quite irritating (and disappointing).

    "Tutorials"
    Mostly graphic related tutorials, I see. I wouldn't say that these are original, or somewhat useful - I've seen these many places many times.
    Oh, the Post-it note tutorial is a Youtube video. Perhaps specify that on the main page? Sometimes people aren't able to view Youtube videos. I myself, for instance.

    Overall
    I think Unloadeed has a future. Currently it is not a memorable website, but I believe that with some work it'll be a very fine place to browse.

    The layout and CSS needs working. For example: Add a footer! It'll make the whole website look more "finished" than rushed.
    Stay away from the default text as well, it makes your website look very boring and almost "newb"-ish.

    I'm not the best person to ask for questions about grammar, but I did find a few typos every now and then. If you use Firefox, I recommend downloading a dictionary add-on. It has saved me plenty of times!

    Remember that sometimes a person might have an old and tired computer, so a lot of images and ads might not be ideal.

    Placing a lot of outgoing links is not a very good idea either. You want your visitors to stay for as long as possible, and not direct them away.

    Last thing: You are fairly good with vectors, so consider focusing on making more and maybe even improve your vector skills.

    Unloadeed's Response:

    Thanks so much for the review. You gave me some of the advice I was looking for. I'm glad you liked the website layouts and the vectors. I use Photoshop CS3 to make everything. I defiantly will make more of them, I never thought they were that good, but if you say they are, then I will believe you. Thanks again for the very much helpful review.

  3. sweetsugar gave it ****- on 5th Mar 2009 and said:

    Hey, Amanda! It's Sugar. Thanks for reviewing my site. And I'm pretty nice on reviews, and I will definetly not say anything bad. Thanks for the advice. Well, here I go!
    Layout: I really like it. It's beatiful. I just think that it's a bit weird to have the affies and ads on the sides with no sidebars. It looks a little funky. It's really not bad, though. And maybe you should make your links a bit bigger so that people can see/find them a little easier.
    Site Links: Your link back buttons are cute! I like the one where it looks like it's loading, you know? It really matches with your site! And by the wa, on the 'about' page, you have some spelling errors. Like beginning. Unless I am wrong, also :D I think your credits page is well-organized. Yay for you! Hehe.
    Graphics: I really like your site layouts. They are really cool! The itopsites link is kind of messed up, though :/ You have good blank buttons, but you should probably add some more. I need to too. Same goes with the site pixels. Same goes for the link hovers, too :D Good dividers! Maybe you should seperate them, though. On your website goodies/resources, you should add more on some of the pages more. Good signs :D On 'Those Other Graphics', they're good, but still, I think you should add a little more content to each page. Same goes with the Neopets Graphics. No offense, but I think the myspace page shouldn't be there. There's like, nothing on it.
    Tutorials: Wow, you have a good amount. I won't visit every single one because that would take me forever! Some of the images are just boxes with red x's in them, just to let you know. But I would give the tutorials a thumbs up. If looks like you spent some quality time, typing them all. Good job!
    Interactive: You have a lot of ways for people to interct with you! I looked at them all, and I think some are really good. Good!
    Overall: I think your site did fairly well. Everything seems to have good quality grahpics, also! Nice job! I really hope you take advice from this, because it probably took me like, what, 45 or less minutes to type? Well, yeah. So good job! I gave you 4 stars. I think you deserve it. I hope you enjoy my review [:

    UPDATED 05 Mar 09:
    Hey, I thought I'd update to your new layout currently :)I see clouds. Don't get me wrong-clouds are awesome, and you did a fine shop making them w/ the shape tool. But it seems to me as though you should put a bit more effort into it. Also, you could make the text more interesting. When I first saw it, I liked it, but I also was a little bit dissapointed because I know you are an awesome graphics maker and that you can do better. That's sort of a compliment!The cutenews - cha-ching! My name is on there! Lol. Cause' I tagged you. And if your site does end up being down for a while, come visit me and we can chat! :) hehe. rnrnSo back to the layout. The links were a really good idea. They like a little... odd though. I think you should make them a few sizes bigger and make the gray a bit darker. Yay, I'm on your sidebar twice! Hosted&Affies. *does a happy dance* anyways it looks good but maybe make the initials of their site name or just their names on it for affies? It's a little distracting and would go better w/ the layout if it were just links. Looks good otherwise. The tracker is helpful; thanks for pointing that out for me! rnrnSo yeah. That's what I think. I still like the layout though. I hope you find this help. Toodles! :]:

    Vanesa gave it **--- on 25th Jan 2009 and said:

    Hi, I'm Vanesa, and I'm going to review your site using Firefox, with a screen resolution of 1024x768 pixels, on Windows XP.

    Note: OF COURSE no one would leave it as "your site sucks".

    First Impression... and Layout
    Unloadeed. At first I thought it was "unloadedd", but that's just me. Sounds like a weird name. It's pronounced "unloaded", isn it? Except every time I read it, I keep reading either "unloadeded" or "unload-deed".

    What is with that black outline of a hear covering the perfectly good pink heart? It's been bugging for the last few minutes of staring at this layout.

    The pink header text, if made bigger, could match the heart. But it's too shiny, and can't match the deep pink gradient in the heart.

    Okay, so I see a sidebar with lack of padding. (Please add more!) Small pink text as sidebar headers. (Make it bigger? And bold?) A big list of affiliates (Shows you want a lot of hits), and small, flashy buttons linking stuff, including the screenshot exchange. (Is it me, or is it always Jessneo.com on there?). Small, unreadable serif text. (PLEASE make it bigger, and change the serif!) "Bouncy" text. (When you hover over a link, it moves everything because of bolding it/border/making it bigger, etc. Don't make it do that. It's super annoying and stupid.) Some kind of header that I don't really like. Cosmic Sans! The description / slogan / whatever in small black COSMIC SANS text!

    In other words, I'm not exactly impressed.

    Layout.. and coding
    Oh, goodness, here it goes. *clicks "view source"*

    Hm. Your code isn't that bad. In fact, it's better than what I normally see out of sites that look like this. The navigation in an unordered list, DIVs, the header is a giant image though. You should use an h1 and style it something like below:

    h1#title {
    background: url(header.jpg);
    text-indent: -9999px;
    width: px; height: px;
    }

    Or at least have an "alternate" (e.g. <img src="apple.gif" alt="apple" />) text for the header.

    Okay, now the code's bad. Get rid of the blockquotes and cente>s and make it a div, and classify it something like "sidebar-box".

    I suggest you validate your layout.

    Content

    The Latest Blog Post:
    Yawn. You should add a list for the stuff you added, so visitors can find it quickly. Other than that, it kind of bored me since you jumped from topic to topic.

    Site:
    You add width="200" height="200" to the images, which doesn't help the loading time or anything AT ALL. I see you use Photobucket; did you know you can "th_" before an image name and it gives you a thumbnail? Make the actual thumbnail, not just stick some width and height attributes in there. And it won't be disorted. ;)

    From the FAQ:

    You need more graphic here.
    This is not a question. ;P

    So why did you put it there? You could just say, "Why don't you add more of graphic here?"

    Graphics:
    Website layouts - I'm a fan of Avril Lavigne so I checked out that one that looks like an Avril Lavigne layout. But celebrity images are illegal. Or if the "illegal" reason doesn't get you, I wrote a blog post about why you shouldn't use them anyway.

    I don't get why you need a "more resources" link. Just keep it all on one page?

    There's no need for the double ampersand for the "back && next" buttons. Also, the images all have the stupid width and height attributes, which, like I said before, doesn't help the loading time. Make the actual thumbnail, will ya? In fact, you could just take a screenshot of the page and cut out the thumbnails from there. I don't care. (Though I reccomend making real thumbnails.)

    Other than that, the rest is pretty much generic content I can find anywhere. And with better quality. I suggest something new, with a better quality?

    Tutorials:
    Typo - "scrennies" should be "screenies". Or, well, "screenshots". "Showed" text" - don't you mean "shadowed" text? Again with the double ampersand for "back && next". And you can just keep the Neopets tutorials on the same page or dedicate an entire section to each tutorial category. You should stay consistent.

    You make a lot of typos and grammar mistakes. I can see how the Jelly World tutorial was supposed to be funny, but it's not. The rest of the Neopets tutorials can be found on other websites.

    The coding tutorials, I'm sorry to say, suck. They don't explain much, teach anything, and there are too many mistakes to tell you all. When writing a tutorial, make sure you know what you're talking about. Don't bother with the tutorial if it's just a snippet of code. If you know what you're doing, go ahead, write it.

    The rest of the tutorials are fine, but for the video tutorials, keep a list of instructions in case a person doesn't have flash. Please proofread your tutorials, keep them consistent, have some screenshots (and save them in a better quality), and write what you know very well. I've looked at your source, and you don't seem to know code very well. (Well, you know how, but you use certain tags for the wrong purposes, and wrong tags for other purposes.)

    Interactive:
    Hmm... I'm guessing a plugboard, reviews, request, hosting, survey and polls? Here it goes. *clicks on "Interactive"*

    Okay, no surveys and polls, but four are correct. And hm, some original content too...! Well, sort of. (I've seen this also, but not in an "interactive" section.) But I barely see the holidays thing - so way to go!

    Personally, I think advice columns are stupid since most sites that have it aren't very popular, and even if some random person found the site, why would they ask a complete e-stranger? (Well... maybe I would. But still.)

    Other than that, this section is pretty good. :)

    Hosting
    "An Awesome Hostess" - sounds a little vain to me. And you should mention "site.unloadeed.com" - shouldn't you mention that "site" is going to be replace with whatever name they want?

    Conclusion
    You should fix up your layout. Add a lot more padding. And learn to proofread your site. You have a lot of grammar and spelling mistakes, and also a lot of typos and random capitilization. And learn to write more interesing descriptions. Your writing is what mostly ticked me off.

    You have potential. Use it. Your graphics are pretty good, you seem to know a lot about the graphics programs you provide tutorials for, and you should unclutter your content.

    Good luck in the future. :)

    Reviewing in a 1440x900 resolution in the latest Firefox...whatever that may be ha ha.

    First Impression:
    Woooah! Bright, bright colors. The white on that light pink is really hard on my eyes and the yellow links are far too light as well. White can work as a font quite well on darker layouts (not so much white as a very light gray I suppose) but on light layouts white is a no no. It's not so much the white as it is that your layout is so light and then it's on a white background which makes everything seem really bright and painful to look at. I think the images and the layout could work much better if you would just change the colors, but that could just be me.

    Content:
    I was sort of confused at first with the links on the side bar. It's kind of awkward to place them there with not indication of what they are for. Perhaps add a header that states that they are your affiliates/blogroll/links or what have you so the viewer understands what they are clicking. It is very good that you have them all open in a new page, it makes getting back to your site easier and people won't accidentally close out a page without realizing they need to go back. Nice :)

    I just noticed a little error in your side bar..."All Content belongs to Unloadeed.com unless other wize stated " the "other wize" should be fixed to say "otherwise" it's just a minor spelling error which is only a bigger issue because it is on every page. I think I read somewhere that you use Cutenews, I used to use that as well. I highly recommend switching to wordpress. That is just a personal preference though.

    Under "Site" is the first header supposed to read "The Begging" or did you mean "The Beginning"? Your tutorials seem helpful and informative and that is nice :)

    Coding:
    Your CSS is not valid you can use http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ to check on this on your own and the site will tell you what is wrong and what you need to fix to make your CSS valid. It is very good to do because it ensures cross-browser compatibility and just keeps your site nice and tidy. You need to fix your html as well (http://validator.w3.org/). Doing this can be time consuming and annoying but it is really beneficial.

    Overall:
    Your site is good, it's budding and I think with some work your site could become fantastic. Starting out is always hard and it always takes a lot of time and practice to get really good at something so just keep up what you are doing and I recommend reading a lot of tutorials on web design and how to make interesting, eye-catching, and memorable layouts that are appeasing to the eye. Your content is vast and the selection of tutorials is fantastic, but they layout is the hook and if the viewers don't bite it doesn't matter how much stuff you have. So, keep working and bring down the bright colors a bit. You can have bright colors without making the whole layout bright...if that makes any sense whatsoever! Good luck!!!

    Unloadeed's Response:

    Thanks for the review. It says the css is not valid because of the cutenews. Same with the html. I am working on switching from cutenews for that reason.

    Woah! Your layout is sooo messy! No side bars???

    It looks like everything is flying. That is a huge pet peev of mine. And if i weren't reviewing your site I would leave right now..

    Anyways your main picture looks ok. but you need to clean up your layout

    ---Graphics---

    Woah! I can barely read your headers/links! They are really bright pink!

    *Looks Closely*

    Website Layouts:

    These are ok...but you need to have the codes under the pictures. And wow...the 3rd one..the one of avril is way to exposing for a child friendly site. If your site is a teenager site then it is fine but if you classify it as child friendly you should remove that...

    Resources

    Textures:

    One thing...you shouldn't just have different things like 'Nature' for textures

    Ok well I can't review anymore of this :/

    Overall:
    You have a ok site. It needs alot of improvements but I think you have done a good job!

    Good luck with your site!

    And i hoped that helps you improve your site!

    I really love the layout...the image on the layout is beautiful, the font looks good, etc. It's got a nice background and the headers and sub-headers both look good. My first suggestion would be with the Site Navigation links. They're uh...very small. And sort of un-noticable. Maybe if you made those particular links bigger and different from a normal link, it would look better.
    The sidebar on the layout is okay, but it would look better if you had headers, etc with it.

    GRAPHICS
    I absolutely love the little description/box thing you've got going on here. I was personally thinking of doing something like that for my site, but I've never got around to it. The only thing wrong with it is the link colour. It's very very hard to see and when you hover, it completely disappears. Maybe it's supposed to be like that...I'm not sure. xD Lol.
    You've got pretty nice graphics, so that's all good. (:

    TUTORIALS
    Woww...lots of tutorials happening here, lol. I don't have time to read through them all, but it looks like most of them are pretty good ones. Good work there.

    INTERACTIVE
    Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/manderz/public_html/interactive/header.php on line 12
    Well...that's the page I get when I click on the "Interactive" link. It's obviously broken or something, so I'd suggest fixing it soon. (:

    OVERALL
    A very nice site, a 3 1/2 star rating from me! =)
    Talk to you later Amanda! ;D

    Why do you have a bunch of random buttons in the top left corner of your layout? They have nothing to do with it and all they do is draw my attention to that corner. I would move them to a links page or at least the bottom of your layout. Also all the links to the right, I would move them to their own page or put them inside the layout. It looks like a coding mistake having them floating outside of the layout box like they are. At first glance I actually thought that WAS your navigation, until I found your links under the header. They are way too small and don't stand out enough. It'd look really nice if you made those into an imap.

    The header image is nice, I like the colors and the fact that it's not a celeb! It would be nice if it was just a bit smaller though. I would cut it's height in half. Also the text on the whole site is tiny. I can barely read it and in some places I cannot read it at all because the font is so light it blends right in the background. If anything your links should stand out from the regular text.

    You have a decent ammount of content, the layouts look ok, and the rest of your graphices are nice. I would really suggest making some thumbnails for your stock photos because as it is now the page takes forever to load. Same suggestion goes for your textures.

    It's nice to see some tutorials as well. Your one paint tutorial on how to fade text has a broken image.
    One last little suggestion, it would look a lot nicer if you added some padding to your main layout box so that the text isn't running right into the edge of it.

    You have some good potential here, but your layout needs some work.

    Hey Amanda :) I'm going to review your site now, and hope you take my words :P I won't be going much on coding, because I guess I'm not much of a coder-whiz.

    The layout

    Hmm. I personally feel that the layout is like you've made a very nice header, but organization failed everything. If you could place up your tables better, the whole layout would be splendid.

    I didn't like the text size on your site - it's so minute, I guess I'm getting a headache right now. If the text size was made atleast to 8pt, it would be easier to read. And, also try changing the font family to Trebuchet or something good to read. Times New Roman isn't a good font.

    The way you've displayed your affiliates is also, umm, kinda messed up. I guess it's because of the font family that it looks dirty. I feel that you should make the links in the same table as the header beneath it so that it looks neat.

    The advertising area is also messed up. First off, I didn't even know it was an advertisement. I came to know when I hovered over the 'Apply' link. I felt like the advertisement was an Elite affie of yours. So, it's better you add a header for that saying 'Ad' or 'Advertisement'.

    All I can say is, everything is just stuck in random places on your layout. You need to place them correctly.

    The pages

    Well, your Site, Graphics and Tutorials pages are all fine except for your Interactice page. The links are so light that I can hardly read it. I think it was from the previous layout and you must have forgotten to edit that page.

    Originality

    Your site is very original, in terms of the layout. But the tutorials are like, in every site. You're trying to offer tutorials to help the visitors, and are you thinking they're trying to learn html and marquees? I'm not offending you but you could also write some real-life guides or something like that which will make your visitors return.

    Overall

    I felt your site is trying to reach the top-level, but sometimes, it's falling down. You need a grip for that. Validate your coding and your site will be one of those best growing sites ever! I had a good time reviewing your site!

    Ann gave it *---- on 13th Dec 2008 and said:

    First Impressions:
    *Header image takes a really, really long time to load, and I'm on a fast connection.
    *Ugly affiliates links stand out, as do the “click me” buttons. They should blend in.
    *Tiny, tiny navigation
    *Header image takes up the whole screen
    *Nice colours, and, when I could see it, pretty picture.

    Design:
    So, your header image is huge, and takes ages to load. There are two things which will be causing this – the fact that it's hosted externally (Photobucket), and that it's a PNG. Having it hosted externally to your site means that it takes that little bit longer for the browser to “find” and display it on your site, and PNGs are extremely high quality images – better than is needed for a header image – and so it increases the loading time. Most people save their headers as GIFs, and upload them to their own site.
    The problem with the image being huge and taking up the whole screen is that I have to scroll down to see your content, and I shouldn't have to. It gets irritating if I browse through your site and always have to keep scrolling down just to see if this is the page I want. The content is the main focus of your site, let it be one of the first thing visitors see.
    Like I said, pretty picture, but I don't think it's yours, is it? You didn't take the original picture, it belongs to someone on DevArt – so therefore taking it, manipulating and then redisplaying it on your site is illegal without permission from the artist/ owner – which I doubt you have. Just so you know.
    I'm of a mind that everything should be neat, and fit in it's proper place – which is just what isn't happening with that screenshot exchange, your affiliates links and buttons. They detract from the header and title, which should be your main focus, and just don't fit in. If you must display them, put them inside your sidebar or in the footer.
    Wow, you you realise how small your text is? I have pretty good eyesight, but I have to squint to read it – you're not doing anybody a favour by having it so small, least of all those with sight problems.
    Oh, wait a second – you don't have a sidebar or a footer. These are very useful in storing information and generally rounding off the layout nicely – if you scroll down to the bottom of your screen it doesn't look very pretty.
    I see that you use Cutenews, which I really wouldn't recommend. It is a very unsafe blogging tool, I would recommend something like FanUpdate or Wordpress.
    Coding – you have a Doctype, good for you. However, you don't have an external stylesheet which I am very surprised at – external stylesheets are so much easier to manage, you should use them.

    Site:
    What, don't you have a page about you? Even if you don't want to put very much personal information on it, you can still have one – visitors are always interested in knowing about the person behind the site.
    Also, please don't put links under “ignore”. It's just encouraging hackers, it's irritating, and you could bookmark the page just as easily.
    About – you have a lot of errors, I'll try and correct as many as possible.
    Title: beginning. Take away the so in the first sentence, and you have too many short sentences – you could merge a few with commas, and adding in a few extra words, for example “Byethost – they are a great free host I would recommend...” etc.
    “Before Unloadeed opened we had a “tech” layout which looked “spacey” (I'd change those words) .... Unloaded got it's domain in fall 2008 through a contest ... there were two entries” etc.
    I advise you to proof read your work and use a spell checker – and keep writing! You're not that good at it right now, but practise makes perfect, and you really should get your writing up to standard otherwise people won't take you seriously. Another tip is to always write out numbers, eg “two” instead of just 2.

    Graphics:
    The styling you have for the sub-navigation here doesn't work. The pink is too light, I can barely read what it says. The font is different, and too spaced out, and when you hover over it the title is the same colour – effectively disappearing. Don't change my mouse when I hover, either.
    You have links up, with things saying “coming soon” next to them. If you don't have the pages, don't link to them, and don't bother telling people they're coming – it just looks like you're upping the amount of links you have to look good.
    You're redistributing copyrighted images in layouts with crappy coding. The stylesheet is internal in all your layouts, most are fixed width (meaning that they're all the way over to the left of my screen – sucks if you have a wide screen), and are, in general, poorly made. You're even encouraging direct linking because you already have the images linked to your photobucket – way to use up bandwidth. Seriously, who is going to want these? Get rid of them.

    Tutorials:
    As I expected, more useless tutorials. The type of people who actually need tutorials on this basic a level aren't going to be visiting your site at all, rendering them useless. Your PHP loading time tutorial doesn't even load properly, and your Includes tutorial isn't even a tutorial – merely a couple of “codes” and where to put them – hardly very instructive! I can't believe you have a tutorial on iframes, too – again, just encouraging people to use things which they really shouldn't be using on websites. The fact that it took you “three months to understand them” isn't very inspiring either.

    Incteractive:
    Tell me, what is the difference between Cutenews hosting, and regular hosting? Again, you should hardly be encouraging the use of Cutenews when it's such a poor script.
    If you have contests, you should take them down once they're finished – the Halloween one is still up.
    There's not much to review here – this stuff is mostly “meh”.

    Summary:
    I don't like your site. It seems to be just another graphics and tutorials site trying to be as “good” as swimchick – but fails. You don't write well – the site is littered with grammar and spelling errors – and is filled with useless and crap content which nobody is going to use. If you really want to have a good and successful site, you need to make some huge changes and improvements.

    Hullo there. ^^ I'm going to do my best to be helpful…so.

    Design/Aesthetics

    I usually look to header images to give me pointers on what the general colour scheme of the site is. You've certainly done a good job of choosing colours from the image and matching them, but I feel you have a bit too much going on.

    Your colourisation of the formerly black and white picture (and by the way, please scroll down to my third review section to see a note I've made on the picture) has far too much in it. The subtle texture you've put on it is quite nice, but for colours you have: bright blue! dark blue! fuschia! purple! Little splotches of all of those all over the place, and as all of the colours are so bright they remind me vividly (sorry) of a dated 60's wallpaper. (My neighbourhood has many old houses. Either 60's or 50's.)

    If you have to use so many colours, tone them down a bit—right now they're all quite bright and fighting for attention; they don't peacefully blend with each other. Alternatively, just find a different way to colour the image using colours from the same 'range', so to speak: all reds, oranges, and coral tones, or all sea blues, greens, and tiny flashes of yellow.

    Of course, doing so means you'll have to change your colour scheme. I'm not a huge fan of blue and pink together, but it's really more of a personal thing.

    Another thing concerning your header: that vivid purple around the text is a bit jarring and too bright in my opinion, and it makes the text 'Unloadeed.com' a bit hard to read.

    Your main content box: how about more padding for the left and right, so the text doesn't cram right next to the box border? (I'm actually not fond of the black border around that area either; it's rather unsubtle. Perhaps a grey would be more suitable?) And personally I think your body text is far too small.

    On the same vein, make your main navigational links ('Home', 'Site', 'Graphics', 'Tutorials', and 'Interactive') larger. They're already that light, hard-to-read blue; at least make them bigger so I can see properly. I usually scan pages really quickly to look for the main content links, and if the links are small like this I tend to pass them over, because I think they're links to something else (and slightly less important, hence why they are so small).

    On your graphics page—the light pink you've used for the borders and the section titles ('For the Website', 'Signs', 'MySpace', et cetera')—it's far too light. I can't read a thing without straining, and my screen tends to have very good contrast, so it may look even worse for others, for all I know. Since the pink text basically says what that link has, you want to make it as visible as the black text that gives some extra description about the content.

    Content

    To be blunt, your grammar isn't too good. I'd love to fix most of the mistakes, but it'd take ages and my review would surely cross the 5,000-word border, so instead of constantly remarking on it I'm just going to note the following rules:
    > it's not 'alot'; it's 'a lot', two words.
    > stop capitalising random words in the middle of sentences. As a rule, the only things that should be capitalised are: first letters of sentences, proper nouns (e.g. specific nouns & names, such as 'Canada' or 'Emily' or 'Merriam-Webster dictionary'), organizations (United Nations)…that's essentially it, unless your grasp of the English language is strong enough that you can deviate from the rules for stylistic purposes.
    > erm, I don't really know what else to say. Consult a proper grammar guide? I want to suggest Strunk & White's The Elements of Style, but it'll make me feel pedantic.

    I can't stress proper grammar enough. And spelling (I will be correcting these mistakes, however, as I go along). All right.

    Site:

    Personally I think the 'About' page should go first in the list of links, followed by 'Link Back', because whenever I click on a 'site' section my goal is normally to learn more about the site.

    Link Back—your textareas are far too small. Why am I not allowed to see what's in them? What if I want to know what I'm copying and pasting?

    About—it's spelled 'beginning', not 'beggining'. The sentences here are rather fractured and choppy, and you have a few sentence fragments, such as: "Great free host which I would recommend to anyone" and "Only two though", which don't really deserve to be sentences on their own.

    Credits—you've gone all cute and tried to be interesting with the sections for credits. Don't. 'Those who help make this Dynamic', listing various scripts and W3Schools? 'People we love for the prettiness' for crediting textures and smileys? If you're going to credit graphical resources, why don't you put Neopets there? Instead of under 'Random Help', which incidentally lists lots of image providers. Creativity is all well and good, but definitely not here. Credit properly. Tell me exactly why you're crediting these sites. Oh yeah, and while I'm at it, Photoshop (as software) doesn't need to be credited. If you're going to be that scrupulous about crediting, however, you do know the terms of use for Neopets graphics, right? You provide graphics utilizing Neopets images. And their terms state:

    Users are not permitted or authorized to copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, or distribute Materials (or any portion thereof) in any way or by any means, except that you may download one copy of appropriately limited portions of the Materials on any single computer for your personal, noncommercial use only, provided you include "Copyright 2000-2008 Neopets, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission" or "(c) 2000-2008 Neopets, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Used With Permission" on every page containing copyrightable elements and you keep intact other proprietary notices.

    How terribly long. But in summary: either of those bolded phrases must be present on every single page that has Neopets graphics.

    FAQs—this makes no sense: "This is not a question. ;P. Anyways this is a resource site and a help site. We have graphics with I guess is considered a resource but it considered as a whole. This is probably confusing to under stand, and I'm not sure if I undertsand it either. XD"

    I seriously have no idea what you're talking about (even when I mentally edit out the errors; "graphics with I guess" ought to be "graphics which I guess", "under stand" is a single word and is misspelled the second time). Graphics? Considered a resource? But considered as a whole? Mind rewording this to make it clearer?

    Apply for Affiliate—in 'I Cannot be in a scroller', why is 'Cannot' capitalised? And I think it's two words. Apply for Advertisement is fairly typical, nothing much to say there. ;D

    Graphics:

    You've written "if people dont remember to give credit", and forgotten the apostrophe. Anyways—

    For the Website:

    What does 'For the Website' mean, anyway? For what website? What does 'the' refer to? My website? "Here you can find graphics for you site." Oh, okay. Fix the typo there and we're good to go.

    Your page 'For the Website' is, however, entitled 'For the Web' right underneath the navigation, which is rather inconsistent. The names of your different pages also don't always make sense. Link hovers—if I didn't have a good grasp of CSS this might be confusing. You might want to include a demo on how you intend these to be used. 'Web Pixels' might be better renamed to 'Pixel Signs' or something like that, and I'd love to see more content and variety here.

    Oh yeah, and instead of doing that weird arrow-y thing for your 'Coming Soon' notices, just write &laquo; in your HTML for a double-angle quote like &laquo;.

    Anyways—you don't have a ton of stuff in each section, and I'm not seeing too much variety or creativity. In your 'Blank Buttons' page there are essentially only four different styles one can choose from, in varying sizes. I'm honestly not sure I'd use these.

    Dividers mostly evoke for me a sort of default graphics-program 90's-era texture type of thing, but the top pink one (with the skull) isn't too bad. I'd be happy to see more of that sort of thing, because the others look rather unappealing.

    Resources:

    Glitter fills might actually be useful, and the Back & Next buttons (make more of these?). However, I'm not sure why you're linking to the 'Blank Buttons' page again here.

    Blog templates is also quite a nice resource, but I didn't understand first that they were pre-coded so that the text lined up in the grey-outlined boxes. Perhaps make it more clear by making the background of the 'blogs' a lightish grey or something, so it's more clear.

    I also want to point out that although it seems to be quite trendy to offer stock imagery on websites these days, very few can do it well. These aren't too bad, but I'm very unlikely to use these when I have Flickr and the Stock Exchange at my disposal.

    Signs:

    I've no idea why you've said 'Welcome, Hiatus, Enter, Closed, we have them all' when all of those but welcome signs are 'coming soon'. They seem overly reliant on colouring effects—they're okay, but not too impressive. And they take forever to load (see my note in the third section of my review).

    Those Other Graphics:

    Cute names = bad. I don't want cute names for sections, I want informative ones, mk?

    These aren't too bad, but please move away a bit from over-colourizing or tinting an image, and take more care in choosing your fonts.

    And I don't want my previews to be distorted. This ought to be fixed. (Again, refer to the third section of my review.)

    This review is already hugely hugely long (probably my longest) so unfortunately I'm going to be much less detailed on your tutorials and interactive section. But still—

    Tutorials—I really have very few complaints here, because for the most part these could definitely be useful to someone (and it's always refreshing to see a GIMP tutorial). You do have numerous grammar/spelling errors and typos, however, so you may like to proofread a few. And I personally think 'Favicon' and 'Aim Link' ought to go under the 'Coding Section'.

    Interactive—on the reviews page, you've written "So either you are here to have your site reviewed, you your her to read some of my reviews", which I'm presuming is meant to say "So either you are here to have your site reviewed, or you're here to read some of my reviews". Your 'Live Help' page is useless without the messenger, and anyways it really isn't necessary for your site. However, some of this stuff, I feel might make more sense relocated to the Site section. I'm not sure about this. You actually seem to have organised it quite well.

    Stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else but is still hugely important:

    DD: I'm a terribly unorganised reviewer. But this section is basically for usability and copyright concerns (basically everything that doesn't fit into my other categories).

    Your layout has a very, very big problem. And not in a 'your code is broken' kind of way, or 'that green hurts my eyes' way (you don't have any green, anyway).

    Your problem: the image you've credited in your sidebar that you used for your layout? The one on deviantArt? Your site's header image is a derivative work of it, and, unfortunately, the photo you've used does not have a license that says you're allowed to do that. On the dA page it says "©2005-2008 ~sergiemag", so unless you've specifically gone and contacted the photographer (and gotten permission, clearly) you're going to have to pull it.

    (If you have gotten permission, it's not necessary, but please consider including a 'used with permission' text next to your image credit so reviewers won't get sidetracked into a little copyright spiel, mk? ^^)

    Also—consider switching from CuteNews (notoriously insecure) and switching to FanUpdate? It's fairly similar to CuteNews, but has the added benefit of awesomeness and being much more secure. Give it a try. You can import all your CuteNews posts in there, so you won't be losing a thing. ^^

    And. On many of your graphics pages, where you have large images to display, you've chosen to simply resize the original (large) image instead of using a thumbnail. Two problems with this:
    1) the image gets distorted—stretched or squashed if the ratio of the resized height and width is not the same as the original height and width.
    2) you're forcing me to wait while all these large images load. Thumbails would take much less time to display and wouldn't make me feel homicidal. Browsing your site I was wondering why my internet seemed so slow—turns out it isn't me, it's just because you've been putting full-size images in.

    Please take the time to make thumbnails. It's so much easier for me. There is this thing called bandwidth, too, which you're eating up at an alarming rate making your visitors load all these fullsize images.

    Parting remarks:

    My last section of the review (the 'Stuff that doesn't fit anywhere') probably includes the most important points in my review. If nothing else, please address those issues?

    I hope this helps. ^^

    The first thing I notice it how un-organised your website is. You have advertisements in your sidebar as well as in the left hand side of your website, why? Just make a little section in your sidebar for buttons, or put them in your button rotation. You have a horizontal sidebar which is annoying because I have to scroll over to see your sidebar. You should use containers which center the layout in every screen resolution. There is a tutorial at This Fiasco you can follow, or alternatively you can use a website template from Swimchick. Your layout itself isn't too bad, I quite like it actually.

    I won't look at your coding too much because I'm not an expert but I looked at your source code and I see this:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
    <html>
    <head><title>Unloadeed.com</title></head>
    <body>

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

    <html>
    <head><title>Unloadeed.com</title>
    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head>
    <body>

    You have basically repeated yourself and you don't need to. Delete the first lot.

    I checked to see if your CSS was valid and it wasn't. view here.

    Most of it is pretty easy to fix, you can follow a tutorial at Tutorial Tastic which can help you validate your CSS.

    Your font is way too small, and hurts my eyes. You should be using Arial, size 12px with the line height 18px really. Your navigation is too small aswel, it's hardly noticeable.

    On your graphics page, when I hover over the boxes, it's pink and it hurts my eyes. You shouldn't link a page that hasn't been created yet, it's silly. (Your smilies page). I see celebrity images in there. You can't ask for credit on a layout you've used a celebrity image on. The image isn't yours, and it's illegal to use them. Your tutorials are OK, nothing I haven't seen before though. Maybe make some layout tutorials or something. Overall your resources aren't that bad, you have a good amount!

    Overall you have a lot of work to do. Consider using containers so your layout is centered in every screen resolution. Also make your font bigger and your navigation needs to be bigger and more noticable. Get rid of the advertisements in the corner and work on organising your site a bit better.

    Hello there. I will be reviewing your site in 1024x768 using Mozilla Firefox.

    General/Layout
    When I first enter this website, I find myself looking all over the place. This website seems very unorganized. For one, why are there a bunch of topsite buttons on the top left corner of the layout? It makes your page look very cluttered. I would suggest you make a page dedicated to just putting all of your advertisement links in. Also, your website horizontally scrolls in 1024x768. There's still a lot of people using that resolution so why not adjust your layout to fit in most resolutions? One easy solution is to move your topsite links in the top corner elsewhere and shift your layout more towards the left. I like your use of colors on the main image. However, I think the purple title is a bit overwhelming. The color doesn't really flow with the layout. Why did you choose purple when your site barely has any purple in it? Also, the background in the purple title makes it look very grainy and overdone. Sometimes making things simple has a bigger impact then trying to make everything so complicated. Your font is way too small and some of your text is really hard to read. For example, your entry header. You used a yellowish font color over a background with many light colors. They don't work together. Play around with different colors and find out what works best. Also, one of my biggest pet peeves are websites that have empty space extending to the bottom of the page. Why are you using a div layer when it's not necessary? What is the point of the empty space?

    Coding
    Your site is not validated. You have 27 errors and 29 warnings. It's unfortunate that you still use divs absolute position. Absolute positioning is flawed because websites with bigger resolutions will see the layout shifted all the way towards the left/right. Why don't you try centering the layout by manipulating it in the css? There are many tutorials around that you can google that will teach you how to center a layout. Also, why don't you put your CSS in a separate page? It makes your coding less cluttered and it'd be easier to validate.

    Content
    Okay so I'm only going to talk about the main things I've noticed in this section, since this review is getting pretty long. When I click on the graphics link, I am exposed to a bunch of pink link boxes. When I hover over them, the background color is changed to the same pink color the text is. Again, I really need to stress that you take the time to work with colors. Every text color matters and your visitors do take notice of these things! Your premade website layouts contain celebrity and anime images! You should know that you didn't take those pictures yourself which means that you're stealing. You can be creative without stealing other's people's photography and artwork, you know. Your tutorials are a bit generic and most can be found on a million other websites. The image in your "Text Effect (Rainbow Blur)" for Gimp is broken.

    Conclusion
    Your website needs a lot of work. You need to work on having text/background colors that flow and are easy on the eyes. You need to make your layout more accessible to more viewers and you need to study more on your HTML/CSS. I hope this tutorial has helped you and I look forward to your improvements.

    Layout
    The main image in your layout is breath taking, the texture and colors used on it compliment it well.
    However, I don't believe the font represents it well at all, it is too spaced and doesn't fit into the layout. Also it might help if you were to do something along the lines of overlaying the text instead of using white with a bright purple border.

    CSS
    I really liked your idea of using an image in your tables. Although there are a few things I don't understand. For starters, why would you use a brown font color on your table names, and make the links sky blue? Also I don't understand why you made your cutenews tables bright pink. That right there is a fail because cutenews is a very exploitable script and has been used to hack a variety of sites i've known.

    Content
    Your problem is definitely not content because you seem to have a good amount of it. The problem is how you've organized all of it. I'm not the least bit mad that you have to scroll right just to see the other side of the layout but some might be. You might want to reconsider where you've placed your affilates, "screen shot exchange", and the disclaimer." Its not very tasteful having it hang over the side like that. Your tutorials section is nice but you should add some that are not as common to find. It will grab more attention. (remember quality, not quantity.)

    Overall
    Your site is nice, but it could use some work. I see that you are in the middle of a revamp, I am excited to review your site one day in the future when it is completely finished!
