   Hi!

   I'm using the FF the last (and greatest =D) version.

   I'm sorry about any spelling or grammer mistakes, I'm still learning how to speak in english.

   The first impressiom of your site was great. The color combination is good and etc.

   But, when I went read some of your posts, wouch, the font size is too small and the color don't help. I tried to read the description of you menu but it's too hardly. I can't.

   Your site is very clean. Nothing in excess. I was looking to your footer and I thought: she (you're a girl, okay?) should put something here.

   I saw that your url structure is in code. You should change it for a name. Sample: www.site.com/yournamepagehere. The people fell more pleasant when they know where they are going in.

   Come back to your header I forgot to say that I liked the way that you expose your templates.

   Your page UPDATES is great.

   DOMAIN: I thought that you don't write enough about your website. People want to know your "love story" with it. They want to know about how you thought it, why you called it, the meaning of it for you.

   ARTFOLIO: You put just three works of any categorie, i'm right? You can put more works and separate the categories in pages. It's nice.

   CONTEST and HOSTING: I don't have anything to say about them.

   CREDITS: It's very important credit people that help you.

   CONTACT: ....

   Okay... That's it! You site is great. Just some points have to be fixed!!

   Design: I honestly cant say anything bad about the design; it has a professional edge to it. I'm not sure if it's intentional in the design, but the repeating-x background looks like something went wrong. If you crop it with a larger width, it wont give a weird stretched out look. I like the positioning of your site title and the drop shadow to it.

   Content: Personally, I'm not a fan of blog sites. I believe blogs should be handwritten in homemade journals while sitting next to a fireplace. In your case, it balances out. The key point is to remember to have a communication with your visitors. I see an 'artfolio' which provides visitors to view your present and past works. You've provided a comment area to your blog posts, which again is essential to communication. I like how you have links to your other networks, so your visitors can not just stop at one site of yours but view your other sites for more. You've provided some info about you and about the site, which is again – quite brilliant. MADEofDREAMS also provides web hosting, which is another form of communication and is helpful to visitors or what audience your directing to (ie. web designers).

   CSS Suggestions: I like the overall css, though I'd prefer the green of the repeating-x background to be a shade darker: #568860

   Ho there. I'm coke, and I'll be reviewing your website on Windows, In Firefox. Unfortunatly, I don't have much time to get into much detail, but still, I'll try give you a sufficient review with constructive criticism. ok, let's start on your layout & first impressions:

   LAYOUT, FIRST IMPRESSIONS
   When I first get on to your site the layout is very slick and professional, but there is something about it that doesn't catch my eye immediately, if that makes any sense to you.
   I think it's the font that's not very attractive, maybe for the main text you could make it arial, or if you like the current one as Is that's fine, but it's the titles: I think these should be in a lowercase georgia to make it more effective; I'm not sure which font you're using, it doesn't look like Georgia.
   I also think you should add a bit of padding to the main content area as the title is right against the grey background, so say padding: 10px
   and that should to the trick.

   Your colour scheme is honestly great, I absolutly love grey and green, and where you've put your navigation is an easy spot for a visitor to find.

   Your site name is.. creative, I'm not sure why you picked it but I'd definatly want to read up on this in your about page, let's see.

   CONTENT
   domain -
   "The sole purpose of this website is to build a network composed of dreams (whether those be my dreams or my hostees). Simple as that"
   I guess this answers my question :)

   blog-
   I don't understand this, i thought the home page was the blog?

   artfolio -
   This is great, very to the point & organised. I love how you can get a full archive upon click of the title. Great, well done,

   credits -
   I think this could go under domain, but I think you did this in order to have more links in the header to make it look complete? If not, It could happily go under domain

   contact -
   Maybe you could write a bit of an explanation with your email and opther forms of contact

   I'm sorry I can't review other pages of your website, as I'm in a hurry ( as stated before, I think twice! . )

   OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
   I don't have anything other to say other than great job! I really like your site and I'm sure other people will come back again to visit. Your site is really good :)

   Browser: Chrome
   Screen Resolution: 1920x1080

   First impressions: 6.5/10

   When I first come upon your site, I notice that it looks very slick and professional. But when it comes to where everything is placed, it's all...uncoordinated. It may just be my browser but the header is on the background and your content area has been pushed way back, under the sidebar. This is a real let down for me because I will have to scroll up and down over and over. I suggest you use browsershots.org to see if any other browsers have a problem viewing your website properly. Also the quote at the top for me isn't lined up with the header, and I think it's meant to so there's something else that needs fixing :P

   Layout (CSS, colours, etc): 9/10

   The colours go really well together, I like how the grey complements the green nicely. The backgrounds line up, everything is organised well. I like where you place your navigation, it really helps having it on top so visitors can just click wherever they want to go. The CSS is also nice but try and experiment with other fonts, there's too much of the same font for me.

   Content: 18/20

   Site section - nice description of yourself and your site :)

   Artfolio - Wow I think your portfolio or artfolio is really good :D Very organised!

   Contests - They seem pretty fun ^^ But I would like to point out your dates are wrong - 12/01/2009 has already passed, I think you mean 2010. I think you should change it so contestants don't get confused :P

   Hosting - I think after the long list of rules, you should link a page at the bottom that say's "apply" so potential hostees won't need to scroll up. Also, list hosting plans on the same page as the hosting application so applicants won't need to refer back and forth between the pages. Then you will have less pages to update as well :D

   Other - 10/10

   I don't have anything other to say other than great job! I really like your site and I'm sure other people will come back again to visit. Keep up the good work! :)

   katiiness's Response:

   Thank you for the review!

   Regarding the contest date, it's month/day/year ... perhaps it's different depending on where we're from? I'll change it to the month name so it won't confuse others. Thanks for pointing that out!

   I tested the layout in latest versions of IE and FF and it shows up with no weird alignment of the layout, but thank you for the screen shot website suggestion! I'm running all my sites through them now, and hopefully I will be successful at fixing them.

   Thank you again for all your compliments and suggestions!

   Mozilla Firefox
   1440x900pixels

   First Impression 2.5/3
   Nice color scheme. Maybe darken your entry font a little bit? It's a bit hard on my eyes. I don't the fact the your blog is one link away. Why do want to separate the announcement and blog? Whats the main focus of this site? Personal or hosting? If the main focus is personal, I think you shouldn't move your blog into another section. If it's hosting, I think you should get a totally new site instead. Make your hosting site a new professional layout and link to your blog on the "About Us' page or something.

   Content 3/4
   Love how neat your artfolio is. Your contest seems fun. :) Confuse about the hosting plans. Are they free?
   Overall, your site is neat.

   Others 2.5/3
   Nothing much to improve at all, maybe about the blog thing.

   katiiness's Response:

   Yes hosting is completely free, except if you're hosting a domain then you need to purchase your own domain first. I probably should make that clearer. ^^;;

   I've darken the text, thank you for the suggestion.

   The reason my blog isn't on the main page is because this website will be hosting websites, holding contests, and housing my (non professional) portfolio. I don't feel like having my personal daily rants mixed into important site updates and announcements.

   I didn't want to make a whole new separate site because MOD will be something fun and easy to manage. It's not meant to be constantly updated with contests or new hosting plans, just something I work on to de-stress.

   I hope that makes sense, I'm not so great with the English Language... xD

   Again, thank you for the suggestions!
