    i love your site name. it amazes me. your brushes are amazing, im going to start using them the next time i use something. & i love the pngs too. ill be using them later. your tutorials look really easy to understand. your layout is nice and simple, i love that. the colors are alittle bit dull but its okay. your link should not be stricked out, it might fool people because they might think it doesnt work or exist. no offence. your articles are outstanding. and they dont bore me at all. your premade layouts are cool, i might use one someday. you need to improve on is the links, but good job overall. :]

    Not a very friendly-looking website. I like the logo and the navigation is easy to find and simple, but the grey and occasional teal color scheme isnt particularly nice. Also, the font used is a bit boring and robotic.

    I quite like how the links are all crossed out, but it can get confusing at times, especially because they're grey which makes them look more unimportant. In fact, I found myself ignoring links while reading text, only to have to go back and read it again.

    Also, there seems to be no main focus for the website. Is it focused on hosting websites, on providing design tips, etc?

    Whichever one it is, I'd expect the homepage to reflect this with lots of links to various parts of the website focusing on design or hosting, but I didn't see this.

    Is the guy next to the logo supposed to be you? Whoever it is, it seems a bit irrelevant to have the image there, and it doesn't really fit in with the rest of the website.

    Also, the background is a little boring, maybe an interesting background would make it look better. If it was the same teal color you've been using, then it would make the color scheme stand out more and I think it would be a big improvement.

    Also, even though the navigation is short and easy to find, it's confusing, because rather that listing content, you list it by the type of visitor etc. At first I didn't know what to click, so I just guessed visitor and assumed the rest would be of no interested to me because I'm just a visitor. So maybe you need to list content in the navigation to avoid sending your visitors away from certain content. After all, if you get a visitor who's interested in your hosting service, they're still a visitor, right? They'll just click visitor then leave.

    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
    So on a bigger screen (Such as my dad's) your layout looks much better than a smaller screen (Such as mine)
    I immediately notice that you're using px as I try to make your layout a bit smaller. You should definatly change this, i think I'm being a bit of a hypocrite because I forgot to change mine on my current layout, but anyway, to %, so in this way when I zoom out or in the text changes the size by itself, not with the whole layout. If this made sense.

    Your colour scheme is a bit weird. Earlier on your navigation was pink and now it's purple which fits in better.
    I don't like the colour scheme on the sidebar, it's completely different to the layout. The titles should also be the same font as the one in your blog, it would look better.

    Your site name is cool. I see a lot of people using extensions in a "creative way" these days so kudos to you, it's very memorable.

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

    visitor -
    The title completely changes and the blockquote colours don't fit in.
    You seem to have some pretty good content here!

    domain -
    Fine, but I'm sure you have more credits than gillian? But this is OK

    owner -
    good, you've split this up nicely, but the page is full of links, you could combine things such as likes with bio etc

    ask me -
    pretty self explanatory :)

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

    OVERALL IMPRESSIONS
    I couldn't review your site properly but I think it would be good with a bit of work, so keep going!

    Oh, thanks :)
    I agree with the blockquotes and I actually put the current credits on the sidebar.
