    First Impression
    Simple, clean. The colors used are nice. I'm not a big fan of websites that use the owners name in website name, but it is a simple name to rememberer.
    Layout
    Katii has a simple and clean layout, as I stated in my first impression the colors are nice. The header is a bit small for my liking. Her codding comes up with 125 Errors and 7 warnings in XHTML However is HTML 4.1 it comes up with 51 Errors, 40 warning. Perhaps html 4.1 is a better option. I won't go into every single error but there are plenty of tutorials on the web to help with validation. I also found 11 errors in the CSS codding.
    Content
    Layouts
    The layouts are nice, they have great css effects, however the graphics could use some work, some of the layouts have too much of the same color.

    Wordpress Themes
    There is only one, one which is also avalible as a layout. I suggest converting all the other layouts into themes as well.
    Stocks
    The quality is good. Some of these just look like random photos others are very useful.
    Textures
    For the most part these are nice.
    Brushes
    I'm not a big fan of these based on the preview, I'm not really sure how they would be used.
    Services
    This section is organized very well, I love the pop up boxes used here. The services are very usefull, and explained well.
    Overall
    Over all the website is well organized, Katii offers great services and also as a nice collection of premade layouts, Katii should have her codding valid.

    Thank you for the review! When I revamp the brushes section in the future I will definitely consider having image stamp previews so people can have a better idea of what they are downloading.

    Regarding Wordpress Themes, personally they are very time consuming to make, and to have all the wordpress features, a layout needs to be set up a certain way, so it's a little hard to convert everything. However, I will definitely work on adding more WP themes! :)

    Again I'm very grateful for your review!

    LAYOUT:
    You're layout is beautiful. The layouts go together so well. It is very well designed, compact, simple, and easy to navigate. Definitely the best I've seen in a long time.

    CONTENT:
    You have very high quality content, which I like. It is also original, which is preferred. I love your textures and brushes. Just continue to add more, and possibly new content of different types.

    OVERALL:
    Your site is beautiful in all it's aspects. 5 stars :)

    Thank you Heather! I will try to add more quality content, and will definitely think of new content types for the site to keep it fresh. Thank you for the suggestion.

    Hey, there! I'm Trish and I'll be reviewing your site with FireFox.

    First Impression/Layout
    I love the site name; it reminds me of cats. *totally not obsessed with felines* I think the layout is very nice and clean. It sort of reminds me of Aethereality.net and Digik.net. I also loooove the colors; they're not too bright or dark. The layout is fairly organized, but you have your navigation on the site twice - at the very top and in the sidebar. I personally would choose one and get rid of the other one. I don't really see that as a big deal, though.
    5/5

    The Sitely Sections
    Domain - Pretty standard. Straight to the point and organized. I read about your blog, so I checked it out. It's adorable! :D
    Credits - Standard. I like how you credit others' textures on the actual product.
    Link Exchange - I don't know if you know, but this page doesn't work. :/
    5/5

    The Downloads
    Layouts - Very nice! I wish I could make graphics like that, haha. I think it'd be better if some of them were centered, but that's just me. I really love the "Take Flight" one.
    Wordpress Themes - Nice. Nothing much to say about it since I can only see a small image, but it looks great.
    Textures - Really nice; #14 is my favorite. I like how you have them sized for desktops also.
    Stock Photos - Great photos! Tweaking the levels or contrast would make them even better, though. I'll probably end up using these some day.
    Brushes - Very cool and unique. They're not the generic swirlies I always see.
    5/5

    Conclusion
    All in all, I didn't really see much at all wrong with your site. There wasn't really anything that bothered me. Your graphic quality and skills are amazing, far better then some other sites I've seen. Your definitely a site I'd recommend on my blog to friends with few coding skills/graphic abilities. I think your site will be great once you get even more visitors and content, so keep up the great work!
    Site rating: 5/5

    Thank you so much for your review! I've also looked into the link exchanges page. Thank you for pointing that out! I've also added live previews to the wordpress theme section so visitors can have a better idea.

    Thanks for your suggestions!

    /*=========================*/
    Operating System: Mac Leopard
    Screen Resolution: 1650x1025
    Browser: Firefox 3
    /*=========================*/

    - FIRST IMPRESSION -
    Nice clean layout. It's simple yet not overly plain. I like how it looks sort of interactive, it just gives me this feeling that your site is like a community and there are people lurking around. I have no idea why I have that feeling, maybe it's the chat box or whatever, but the first impression of your site is good.

    - LAYOUT -
    As I said, the layout is well executed. It looks quite professional and it's easy to access different areas of your site. The only thing is that I'm a bit confused over the navigation, because you've got a top navigation and a sidebar. Yet you put Downloads and Site Relatedness in your sidebar, but not in the top navigation when this is supposedly your content. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Which is why I think that your sidebar is a bit cluttered as opposed to other areas of the site. Another thing is that your navigation is too small. I think you did a good job overall with the layout and I no other faults to pick here, really.

    - LAYOUTS -
    They're very organized, I like the use of thumbnails and everything is easy to navigate through. Plus you can rate them, which is cool.

    - THEMES -
    This is pretty much similar to the Layouts section, I'm sure that this section will start to grow.

    - STOCKS -
    These are nice stocks, I'd suggest more variety because you've got a lot of flowers here.

    - TEXTURES -
    Interesting textures, but they're not very original, I've seen a lot of these around before. But despite this, they aren't actually textures I'd really use. They just seem like washed out colours.

    - BRUSHES -
    Your previews are very fuzzy. I don't even know what I'm looking at. You've put gradients over the whole thing and the actual brushes are mixed up together and the opacity seems really low. I can't even see what the brushes are supposed to look like. I'd suggest, for the quick previews, show individual thumbnails for each brush (brusheezy's previews for an example). Also, you have not stated what kind of format these brushes are in. Are they for Photoshop? Paint Shop Pro? Or are they Image Packs? I'd suggest clarifying this for your visitors.

    - CUSTOM SERVICES -
    I like that the information for each one is in a lightbox, it's quick and easy to read. You don't have to go to a separate page to read the information on each service. However, for your contact form it says 'Send in an order request for a quote', so is the form for quotes only? You should make this whole section a little bit clearer for those who are interested in your custom services so that they can apply without being confused as to how they should be applying. Because the contact form looks a bit empty. Give some more information.

    - OVERALL -
    It's a good site but there are some things you could improve on. All of the problems I've pointed out are only minor and can be fixed. There is still room for improvement and I'm sure that your site will grow into something big in the future :)

    Thank you so much for your comments and suggestions!

    I am definitely considering to change up the brushes page, so your input is really helpful.

    Hi~ i'm christine. i'm using internet explorer :D

    ~*~First impression~*~
    Wow. Your site really does look organized. I really like how theres latest additions

    ~*Site Name*~
    Nice conjuctions of words, it really personal I could tell by the site name that your name was katii.

    ~*~Layout~*~
    Looks organized, is organized. It is well put in the center. The colors match well and your css input goes with the soft texture of the header.

    ~*~Coding~*~
    Sadly , w3.org found 48 errors! I have a life so i can go over all of them , but some of the major ones. W3.org thinks your coding is xhtml , but it seems to me that it is html. i don't know if you intentionally have it like that , but you should fix that. i would suggest you use html because you wouldn;t have many errors if you stopped using the backslash before >

    ~*~Content~*~
    Straight to the point on the very top ;D

    ~/|Layouts|\~
    The preview and download buttons are really big, it would look better resized or smaller.rnThis section is well organized, and all layouts look amazing!

    ~/|Wordpress themes|\~
    ACK! Why is the donate button there? i could see it in the side bar so why show it again? i can understand you are trying to fill in the empty space and such but still?

    rn ~/|Stock|\~rn
    Were these taken by you? They are really lovely, and you seem like such a good photographer

    rnrn ~/|textures|\~rn
    The download button looks better on here. Really high quality textures <3

    rnrn ~/|brushes|\~rn
    i just adore the previews on these

    ~*~Webmiss/Websir~*~rn
    there isnt much about you on your site :(

    rnrnrn~*~Browser Compatibility~*~

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for being the first reviewer! I will definitely look into changing the format to read html on w3, and I will consider changing the buttons so they are smaller.I will probably change the donate button to a live preview button, because originally I didn't plan on having a live preview. Every live preview is a whole wordpress installation and I wasn't sure if my server can handle that... but now that i've looked into it and realize I can provide live previews, i will definitely change that on the next major site update. :)

    Yes, the stock images are taken by me. THank you for the compliment. I only pick out the good shots, because the ugly ones aren't very useful when making graphics anyways. it SEEMS i'm a good photographer. hehe.

    There's not much about me because I want to focus on providing downloads. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to add a page about about me under site related links for those who are interested.

    Thank you so much for all your suggestions! I will work on implementing them!

    Layout: I really like this layout! the colors are a little mixed up, but Its cool looking ^_^

    Wordpress Themes: Not much to say besides, you should probable have live previews.

    Stock Images: These are pretty good, but once again, you should have a love viewer for these two.

    Textures: These are pretty good, not really anything to special...

    Brushes: These are really nice, but that might just be because I am not good at making brushes..I'm not sure :P.

    Premade Layouts: These are really nice, I would easily use one of these!

    Site Related Links: Not much to say here.

    Overall: Your site is really good, just a few minor things that bother me, But I really like your site!

    Rating: 4 1/2 out of 5.

    Thank you so much for the review!

    For wordpress themes, I do have live preview after the quick preview is clicked. However, I will consider what christine suggested and remove the donate button and adding a live preview button so it is more obvious. :) Thanks for pointing that out. I realize it is a little hard to find.

    Glad you enjoyed your visit. And thanks again for reviewing!
