Splash: Really beautiful. I love the apple. Only one thing wrong: the counter doesn't fit. 8/10
First impression: Fantastic stuff. 8/10
Layout: It loads really quickly. Your slogan "the site with style" really fits. But the splash page doesn't go with the layout on the main page... Perhaps the picture is too big, it looks a bit weird with such a big table. But still, it really shows your fantastic style. 15/20
Content: It looks really weird that you've got a pop-up window for each page. You could make one for each section, or something like that. The form you use is horrible in a pop-up.
Rules: clear and simple.
Portofolio - work: perhaps you could arrange it so they're together.
'Site': pretty good. I've never reviewed a design site before, but I think you've got most of the stuff that should be there.
'Services': nothing much to say here, except I really like your stuff ;)
'You': shouldn't wallpapers go with services? It's the same as backgrounds... isn't it?
Link me: why is there a form for affliates when you've already got a page just for that?
'WWW': fine. Everything that should be there.
Guestbook: it doesn't fit the layout.
Tag and plug: it's already on the main page.
'Conclusion': to be honest, your site content didn't grab my eye or anything. I like your stuff pretty much, but I suppose that having to click, read the content, close the window and re-click influenced me. Your award thing is a good idea, I liked that. 17/25
Errors: No spelling errors, but a few broken images. 8.5/10
Link back: 5/5
Bonus point: Your professionality impresses me. 6/10
Improvement: What you loved: The 'win an award', and of course your designs.
Trash can: Your buttons (you put them in different sections, and yet most aren't the same size) and your splash page not fitting the main page.
Final comment: Would you come back? Maybe. Probably not. Even if your designs are really good, there was nothing to catch my eye or want me to come back for updates. 4.5/10
TOTAL SCORE: 72/100
Score appreciation: A fairly good score. But there are some things you have to change. Good luck!

First Look: 10/10 Heath Ledger is hot! Opened up my eyes...lol
Splash: 8/10 Looks great. The apple is an awesome graphic to have However, you should put the resolution...or if not that, at least something to say what to expect within. As design has been a word interpreted to be flexible in any art.
Design: 18/20 The Heath blend is great. I would suggest making it smaller as it is quite a way down to scroll. I have DSL, so I switched to my old dial up and it loads fairly slow. No problem though, at least it loads...lol.
Content: 30/30 You have tons of content. Very good!!!! And you offer a service that is highly desirable as not everyone can make a webset. It is organized. Nothing seems to be missing...at least not at the moment.
Overall: 30/30 No complaints from here. You made my review an easy one. If someone gets too picky, let me see their review. Some people are out to pick apart sites, I just do not have time to be unfair....lol Never doubt your ability!

Grade: 48%
First Impression : 5/10 points. Entering your site for the first time was..a bit..strange. Your layout was..not that appealing to my eye. I didn't really like the layout. Also, the layout was a bit big for my window, but that must be because your screen resolution is bigger than mine. I really didn't find your site very..well, let's just say I didn't find it worth my time, but because I have to review it, I'm going to have to spend my time on it.
Splash : 0/5 points. Okay, your splash was sickening. Maybe that's not the word, but it was the first word that came to my mind when I looked at it. First, it has no requirements, which all splash pages really need. To top the no requirements off, your splash page actually does need requirements because your layout doesn't look very good in my resolution. I would add requirements to your splash.
Layout : 2/20 points. I don't know how I'm supposed to say it, because, well, I don't really like saying it, but I thoroughly dislike your layout. Usually on design sites you want to make a spectacular layout to blow the viewers of your site away, but this layout was..so..I don't know. I didn't like it. It seemed like you didn't put enough work into it. It seemed like you just found a picture on the internet and hardly played around with it to make it look better. I'm trying to find something good in your layout, and it's hard to say. One of the good things of your layout that I found after staring at your layout for a couple minutes is that the picture that you picked out for the desert is actually quite pretty. But other than that, in simple words, your layout is horrendous (to me that is).
Navigation : 2/5 points. The navigation for your site is pretty easy to find, but I don't like how every single link has to open up in a new window. What's up with that? Are you trying to make a statement? I don't know, but I really don't like it. First of all, it slows down my computer. Second of all, it gets confusing when there are so many windows open. As well as it slows my computer down, it takes a while for the pop up to load onto the screen. I know what you're going to say, you've seen so many other people with pop ups for their navigation but most of their sites the pop ups fit in, and actually looks pretty good. You're just over doing it.
Contents : 20/20 points. Your content fulfills all the needs of a design site.
Errors : 9/10 points. You had some spelling and grammar errors, but other than that your site didn't have too many errors. There was an error that I found quite appalling: Your splash page image was an apple, and your layout was something of a desert. It just doesn't seem too right, and it doesn't look good at all. I would make your splash page match your layout, it will give your design site a more professional look.
Originality : 8/10 points. Your site was in fact pretty original. The layout wasn't like one I've ever seen before. I haven't really seens anything quite like yours.
Neatness : 6/10 points. It was half messy, and half not messy..if you catch my drift. Some of the content that you had on your site was hard to read and understand (maybe that's because of my small brain capacity). It seemed as if you just wrote everything down randomly without any type of template whatsoever. I would try and make everything a bit neater. Some of the things that were neat were that the writing on the main part of your site was quite easy to read. It's hard to read the text over the background in the pop up windows.
Final Impression : 6/10 points. My final impression of your site has changed. It went up, surprisingly. I liked some of your designs. Also, because so many people have used your designs there must be someone who likes them obviously.
Extra Points : +0 points.. You earned no extra catergories.

Loading Time - Really quick! I'm amazed at how quick everything loaded, seeing as the top graphic was so large! 5/5
Errors - There were a few grammar errors, but I could read everything accurately, so that's no big deal. :) 4/5
Layout - The top graphic was really nice, but it feels like there should be more on the bottom portion, where the text is. 10/15
Navigation - Great! I saw it right away! 20/20
Originality - I didn't find anything that was extremely unique. It seemed like just a basic designs site, and I've seen a lot of sites with the same 2 Fast 2 Furious theme. 18/25
Content - Great job! I liked looking at the Portfolio. The only think that I think you could fix would be the portfolio. No one really sees what the layouts you made looked like. If you took screenshots of each layout and posted them there, Stylissimo Designs would be a lot more user-friendly, and visitors would be able to see your wide span of webdesign skills. :) 25/30

Link Dorkie Reviews [5/5]: Found it at thbe bottom of "Welcome"
First Impression [3/7]: The apple was cute on the front page, to me it seemed professional! then when i entered, the layout had nothing to do with an apple, that makes no sense lol.
Navigation [10/10]: You have good nav, its all there and looks good!
Layout/Splash page [14/20] : Like I said it in first impression the apple and the layout dont make sense, they have nothing to do with each other, but when you click a link in the nav, it does have an apple! So that is cute, I like that. You should put some requirments on your splashed page, like the resolution people should have to view your site, and things like that, let them know what to expect!
Graphics [8/10]: All of the graphics are good sizes except the Portfolio 2(aka the gallery) ones, they are so small how are we supposed to see how good you are? some people like to see details in what they are getting! before they get it!
Originality [4/8]: You have a little originality but not alot, I like the writing a letter papers, they are so cute! I've never seen them offered before either!!
Errors/Spelling [8/10]: I didnt see any errors, and your spelling is great!
Overall [10/10]: I love the things you offer, this is a good design site! I hope the best for it!

With this layout, Stylissimo was reviewed by Ronnie of Mean Team - thanks.
Organization - 3.0 It's pretty organized. I like the folders. But the plus signs are ugly. If you're going to have the layout reload every time you click something, you should have the navigation on every page.
Graphics - 2.7 I like the Elvis layout, it's really original, but I'm not feeling the green and blue line-stretch on the side? Nothing on him's green.
Creativity - 1.0 I don't understand why you do reviews? You're a graphics site. This is more of a bad personal site if anything.
Errors/Broken Images - 1.0 You spelled Wallpapers wrong throughout the whole site. And what the hell? You click the subpage links and there's a different layout. That sucks ass. At least I sort-of understand the apple now?
Is It Worth The Webspace? - 2.0 Maybe if you keep the layouts consistent, and open everything in the main frame. Also the font is sort-of small and hard to read/understand because of the letter spacing. Also, don't just scale down the images in the portfolio section, and so-forth, it takes FOREVER to load, actually use a program to make those smaller. Also, lose the butterflies. They're annoying as shit.
Overall - 1.7 Your splash page doesn't match the layout. It should. Or it's just weird. Also, I don't get the wanna-be flash intro. It's sort-of pointless. It makes you think that it's the entrance link.
Bonus - 3.0 The layout. Everyone says my dad looks like him.

5/5 Loading Loaded immediatley! Great.
5/5 Code Yep we are linked right on the main page!
8/10 First Impression It seems simple and the way its organized. The folders are a pretty neat touch!
14/15 Layout Looks really cool! I like how you brightened the picture by outlining..seems neon which rocks! The swirly brushes are pretty neat, all and all it looks good. It sorta looks like a painting :D
5/5 Navigation Easily found ..i think the folders are cool, it organizes the sections really well..
4/5 Errors I didnt really see anything wrong..
7/10 Updates Im not really sure if you update alot because there are not dates next to the bullets, so i think it would be better to do that..
13/15 Content I think you have a good amount of conent for a design site. It kept me busing looking through the content for awhile. I think the 'build a splash page' is pretty cool. Maybe adding some HTML/Adobe/ tutorials would be great..
9/10 Creativity Some of the YOU section was pretty neat ,although you might want to add more: i.e html tutorials etc..so you know people can learn to design better..
10/10 Grammar/Spelling Fine...althought i think you should change the text to white rather than gray because its almost as dark as the background..
7/10 Overall Good good site. Although i would suggest making all the pages open in an iframe because its easier that way and to update the CSS on all your pages because they are totally different from the main page.

Feat - Bjork - April 04
With this layout, Stylissimo was reviewed by Gina of Fanatic - thanks.
Splash: 4/5Very nice splash. The picture is great, looks nice! You have everything, but the one thing that caught my eye is that the text is a different color from the image, so maybe it could be darker? It would be easier to read as well!
Layout: 8/15I like it. But it's very simple to be a design site. I don't know, it's like something is missing. There's a huge white spot in the middle, and well, it looks a bit weird. Don't get me wrong, it's very nice, and I like the color, but the color on Bjork's dress doesn't fit the pink. The text color could be darker to be readable and matching! The tag-board colors are red, so you lose some points there. Details are important! The sub-pages are blue and I don't get that. And idea would be iframes or tables, and you should have them all in one color!
Content 20/25About page: The fonts look very weird here, and everything looks wrongly placed. The Past Layouts page is great! You wrote a lot about each layout, which is fun reading:-) You offer a lot for your clients, and it's probobly useful for a lot of people.
Originality 15/15Some of the stuff is really original, like the "Write a letter"-thing, real nice:-) You cover all the needs,I guess;-)
Loading Time 10/10Quick!
Webmaster 5/5It's obvious you work a lot on your site, you have much content, which, of course, is nice! Keep up the good work!
Errors 5/5None. But don't spell graphics "graphix". But I won't withdraw any points for that
Overall 14/20You work very hard, but I think you should concentrate on your HTML-skills a little. You need tables or iframes, cause the way it is now; looks very untidy. I'm sure if you're site is more attractive, you'll get more orders:-)

Tips:-use Verdana as a font, looks neater. And be careful with using large fonts, and then small, you need to balance it.

With this layout, Stylissimo was reviewed by Elise of Notorious Reviews - thanks.
Splash: 4/5 Ooh classy, a nice first impression. You've got your requirements and a litle copyright statement but nothing else.
Layout: 18/25 The colours are nice and there are some good effects but personally it kinda freaks me out :S It's original though. The background to the other pages is nice but doesn't match your current layout; the link colours have been kept the same which really doesn't match very well.
Presentation: 11/15 I like how your site is organised and the folders in the navigation column are a nice touch. Shame your tagboard doesn't match the site layout though. Same for the other pages.
Content: 2/5 A little bit about the site but nothing about the current layout.
Interactivity: 9/10 I don't think this section is too important in a graphics site since you already offer the visitor so much, but you have a tagboard and guestbook, which is good.
Graphic Quality: 23/25 You have a unique style of design and your layouts were really interesting to see. The backgrounds are also high quality and well done.
Guestbook: 5/10 Yes, but it's a big ahhhh really. The colour's don't go too well together and dont match your current layout. I don't like the horizontal rules either.
Code: 4/5 It's at the end of the blog which isn't the most practical place, but yep it's still there.
Bonus: 4/5 A nice site. Keep up the good work.

Feat - Sirius Black & Remus Lupin - May 04
With this layout, Stylissimo was reviewed by Ash-Hole Reviews - thanks.
First impression/Splash [10/10] : Nice slash image, the colors looked good, and their were requirements listed. I also liked the page transition.
Layout [16/20] : It was a little dark for my taste and there wasn't much to it except for the main image. It just looks like everything was aligned where you wanted it and let go. There are no borders around the menu or the main page so it's hard to tell what is what. I think that if you would have used the same color you used for your splash it would look alot nicer. There is just too much black.
Content [18/20] : You actually had alot more content then I would expect from a Designs site. I enjoyed looking at all of your work. It seems like you spend alot of your time working on you site and I'm sure that there are alot of people who appreciate it. Mabye you should add a few things about yourself so people can read and learn something about you.
Organization [8/10] : It was pretty organized. I like how you had "top" "back" and "close this page" on every page. I didn't like how everything opened in the whole window. It would be so much nicer and flow so much better if you would use iframes and have each page open in an iframe.
Graphic Ability [10/10] : You have this covered. There is lots of stuff here that shows off your graphic ability.
Errors [10/10] : None that I saw beside that tagboard isn't working, but it's not working for me either, thats not your fault.
HTML & CSS/Coding [9/10] : Everything seemed to work fine. I didn't like how you used the same colors scroll bar as your background color. I hate when people do that because then it makes it harder to scroll since you can't even see the scroll bar. I would at least change the outline color so you can see what part scrolls and what doesn't
Link back [10/10] : Yup, right after the splash page.
Extra Credit [3/10] : I'm giving you extra credit because it looks like you spend alot of time updating and working on your site. And also because the graphics that you have are gorgeous and very well done.

5 /5 LOADING. A pleasantly short loading time. Full points.
0 /0 SPLASH. You didn't have one, so your score will now be marked out of 95.
8 /10 FIRST IMPRESSION. The layout looked enormous on my computer, since I have 800 x 600 screen resolution, but from my first impression, you had a lot of content, and a lot of visitors to your site.
20 /25 LAYOUT. I like the "Troy" layout and desktop you were offering. Did you blend that yourself? If you did, it looks great! I would suggest making a splash page with different versions of entering, like if you click one way, the layout will fit 1024 x 768 screen resolution (the layout you have sized now), and a differently sized version of the same layout that will fit an 800 x 600 screen resolution. But I personally loved your layout - the colors matched, the navigation was easy to find, and you had different ways for the visitors to keep in contact with you (like the tag-board, guest book, etc.).
22 /25 CONTENT. There was plenty of content that should be found on a graphics site, and more. The only thing that I didn't like was that the background and links on the content pages opened in the same window and didn't match the overall layout.
4 /5 NAVIGATION. Easy to find, but I think that you should either make the content links target an Iframe (you can read up about those if you don't know about them alredy at lissaexplains.com) or you could make them open in a new window.
5 /5 ERRORS. None that I could find!
10 /10 UPDATES AND GRAMMAR. You use good grammar (I love that on sites), and I noticed that you recently changed layouts.
5 /5 LINK BACK. I found my link on the main page! Full points for that =)
5 /5 BONUS. My favorite was the little peacock pixels in the "Funny Stuff" section. They're really cute!!
0 /0 MY PERSONAL OPINION. You've got a great start for a graphics site, and I was impressed by the graphics you made.

First Reaction: 7/10 I like the design, nice and simplistic, the colors are nice and soft. <3 It strikes me as something that MIGHT get a little boring after awhile, though.
Layout: 17/30 The content just seems to "float" ontop of the main image. The blue links are a little hard to read against the blue design on the background, and I'm not going to bitch about small text because I use FireFox and I can make it bigger, haha. But if I were using IE, I would be complaining because I hate tiny text haha. The left text column looks a little too skinny for my taste. The tagboard is overlapping the counter and being overlapped by your main text; you might want to look into getting that fixed because it makes the tagboard hard to read and looks ugly.
Content: 20/30 Alright, let's see what this site has to offer.. The subpages has a different layout than the main page of the site which I LIKE because its a great concept but I don't like it because it doesn't go with the main layout. Make the color schemes similar and maybe stick to blue? I like the back buttons -- most people forget to use those! You have a LOT of things for visitors to do as far as websites and services are concerned, which is great. If I ever needed a layout or wallpaper, I would know to come to you!
Grammar/Spelling: 10/10 No noticable errors that I saw! Great job.
The Wow Factor: 5/15 Nothing really screamed "Wow!", except for all of the services you provide!
Bonus Points: 2/5 Viewing-source it looks a tad bit messy, but I can read through your coding nontheless. I see a couple of pet-peeves (keep all the styles together within one tag, don't leave out the quotation marks "" around variables such as border="0"), but the overall layout looks OK so it doesn't bother me so much.

With this layout, Stylissimo was reviewed by Krissie of Starfish Asylum Reviews - thanks.
First Impression: 05/10 I'm sorry...The way everything was set up was wonderful and loaded quite nicely, it's just the colors...My eyes were aching with the brightness. Additionally, the pink text is very hard to see on the white background, or at least with my computer which seems to brighten everything...o_O
Spelling and Grammar: 10/10 Yay, you can type coherent sentences with correct punctuation, grammar, and spelling! I love you! ...
Content: 25/25 You are very popular it seems for your talents. I'm surprised I haven't heard about you before. You offer great services and are very good at getting customers, that's a hard achievement to make. Excellent job.
Navigation and Site: 16/25 There's just one big concern I have about your site, aside from the colors which my eyes are still healing from. That is how your links to separate pages on the site open in new, full-sized windows. That tends to annoy me after a while, and so your grade suffered for that reason.
Layout: 19/30 Your layout design and the vectors were done astoundly perfect. Sure, I'm not one for happy bees and flowers, but the quality of your layout images were near-perfect. My qualms lay in the colors...I know, I know, darker colors just wouldn't go for this layout's theme, but couldn't they possibly be toned down just a tad? I'm a bit light-sensitive, I guess one might say, so my eyes really feel like they're going to burst if I ever see something so very bright such as your site is.
Prescription: 75/100 Congratulations, you've gotten the best review so far out of the site's I've critiqued. Your site really grew on me...The colors at first turned me off and the bee scared me, but then I saw what you had to offer and I grew to love your site. You are an outstanding webdesigner and graphic artist with much talent. Just please, *please*, get those colors a little more friendly to the eyes. Ah yes, and try to get the site pages into either smaller pop-up windows or open on the same layout as your main page is. I do believe you will go far in your webdesign career. Lovely site.

With this layout, Stylissimo was reviewed by Margaret of 18days Reviews - thanks.
I hate splash pages, but yours has some purpose at least. I'm glad you put "best in IE" instead of listing the browser as a requirement, because the site just might work in Firefox. I suggest you tack on a message at the bottom that says "Click on the image to enter" or something to that effect, because when visitors hover over the image, they see their regular mouse cursor, and may automatically think that the image is there to look pretty, and as a result, will probably be confused as to how to get in. I love the image you have for your layout. I admit that that's probably a lot better than anything I can do. :P You really should get rid of the letter spacing. It takes longer to read the text, and it can be hard on the eyes after awhile. Leave it at the default. Ah, the tagboard and a bit of the content area are sort of smushed together. I see you were right about it looking best in IE. In a further section, I will help you fix that. Also, I know that you stated that it's best in 1024x768 resolution, but it's really in your best interest to cater to all screen sizes, both small and large. In anything larger than 1024x768, your layout has a real "cut-off" feel. You should add a border that goes down the very right of your image, giving the layout a more "complete" feel. All of your content opens up in a different layout. You really should warn your visitors of that.
Seeing as this is a design type site, I won't extensively analyze the content. You certainly have a lot of content here. A lot of it is stuff that you'd find on a lot of other sites (icons and the like), but still very nice. I really like your art, and hope that you'll have enough time and dedication to put up more. I also liked the smilies. Very cute. :)
Overall, this is a nice site, and I enjoyed my visit here. Would I come back? Sure. Fix those errors here and there, and you should be good to go. :)

Feat - Halloween - October 04
With this layout, Stylissimo was reviewed by Brianna of Raving Bitch Reviews - thanks.
first impression 3/10
I was impressed. Splash was extremely orginised: very impressive. I liked how you had minimal requirements [to the point, although your layout is definately not for a 1024x768 browser, you have to scroll like hell!] and didn't have a long-ass disclaimer. Your actual layout is amazing. I love the illustration, theme, and loading time [which was fast]. I love it. BUT you have so many popups [one for every link...] that it's not even funny! You're hosted, why do you have popups?
code 5/5
Easy-to-find, but doesn't open up in a new window. If I were you I'd add target="_blank" to the link code.
errors 7/10
Sometimes you use childish shorthand like "graphix." Ew. Also, everytime I click a link I get a popup for a diet patch-ad, what's up with that? Also on your front page it says "Find An Host" the correct phrase is "Find A Host" 'an' is only used if the word following it start's with a vowel, or is an abbreviation; this is also found in "past layouts" where it says "For to See . . ." the correct phrase is "To see year . .." If English isn't your first language, then I understand, but small stuff like that really makes a chink on your site. [people only remember faults, not accomplishments.]
CSS 0/10
The link-colour blends so much with the background colour [on the front page] that it hurts my eyes to even take a guess at what the link says. On hover it's just as bad, but in a different hue. Your content pages don't match the layout whatsoever. The pattern takes away from the content, it is way too distracting. The font is quite hard to read in contrast to the background. I would change the background to a solid colour or just geta a better pattern that doesn't make my eyes hurt. There is a completely different CSS code for the splash, main index, and content pages. You should make them all uniform, or at least try to keep up with the halloween theme in the subpages.
layout 25/30
A beautifully done layout, very fast-loading and very detailed. You kept the Halloween theme going, I like it a lot. But my only complaint is that the image doesn't fit a 1024x768 broswer like specified in the splash, it's at least a size up.
content 15/20
Loads of content to choose from. I like the variety, but your orginisation is terrible.
Stylissimo:
Your news page isnt dated specifically [it just says October 2004] maybe you could add specific dates, like October 29,2004. Your "about" page is highly unorginised, and because it takes up the entire screen, it looks even moreso. Your "yahoo" and "google" links don't work, I would remove them. In your rules page, you have a whole bunch of shorthanded "graphix" get rid of it, it insults your intelligence. Also the line "Stylissimo will try and get your layout done . . . Stylissimo's staff have a life. . ." is better phrased as, "we'll get your layout done as soon as possible." We all very well know that you have a life, and don't need to be reminded. Also, you talk about the Stylissimo staff but don't have a staff page, just a few tidbits on yourself in the "about" page. Your art is adorable, I love your computer art, not rush-rush and well-thought-into. Past layouts self-explanitory although you should have year 2004 on the frontpage and have a link to last years layouts.
Clients:
Portfolio I & II were kind of pointless. The first one is just a whole list of names and sites [and some sites aren't even up...] of people that used your services. You give a short description of what they ordered, not a screenshot, nothing. The sites that have "review" next to their name don't have a link to the review. Your links aren't orginised at all, you didn't bother making a layout, misc. graphics, and review sub-sections to make the 290+ names have a point to them. In your second page you have a whole bunch of screenshots, but there is no real point to them. You don't have a clear shot of your layouts so viewers can decide if they like your style or not. You didn't orginise the screenshots or add a description of who you made it for or anything! You should really reorginise, these pages are stupid. The reviews page, much like your portfolio pages were messily thrown to-gether. It doesnt look like you spent any real time on reviewing other peoples' sites, the reviews aren't more than one line each category, even on the huge screen I can still tell you didn't critique the sites well enough. Your reviews are also very cluttered, unorginised. Make reviews one page, and have SUBPAGES to each category of reviews [#1-21, etc.] even THEN I would still make my reviews pop-up to make it look more orginised. The waiting room was self-explanitory, nothing much there.
Services:
Your order-a-layout pre-made layouts are good enough, but your Elijah Wood one in particular looks very thrown-together and not thought into. They all have the same size and style [it seems like] just a div layout with different solids that have to do with the header. Been there, done that. Your order-a-banners are actually quite nice, very thought-into and though not so orginised, at least categorized by number. Usually review sites have a few pages to span out different things, such as codes, submit, and rules. But not you, you smushed this all into one confusing, long, and not to mention cluttered page! But as far as content goes, it's detailed and to the point. Find-a-host pages are uncommon, so mad creativity-points for you, and this is alright-orginised [mainly because you only have 2 hosting sites up at the moment, I would make a popup for the sites once it hits past 3]
Tutorials:
Your "tutorials" aren't really tutorials, but just random tid-bits. Most people can make their own splash pages, menus, etc., because it's all integrated into a layout. Isn't their prime purpose of coming to you for you to take care of all of that? Also the "toy-box" doesnt work in Mozilla, shame on you. All of your pages are cluttered, all of them.
For You
Well, some of the stuff is original, I have to hand it to you, like the "Cards" and "Letters" but I can't imagine anyone using them. Your blinkie page should have it's own order-form page in "services" and the rest of the graphics are standard and nice and all. I'm not spending too much time critiquing this section because most of the links are the same thing, same images just different size and title.
WWW
Your affiliates page was extremely cluttered, but I guess there wasnt much you can do about it seeing as you jhave around 30 affiliates. Your "link me" page was pitiful. You actually had images that were simply standard-text! There are only four image-links to begin with, why not make any standard-sized buttons, 88x31, 50x50, 100x35 or a few of your blinkies as links? Seeing as you provide so many services, you shouldn't have done a slap-bam job on your links. Helpful links weren't really helpful. You should have listed some sites YOU used to make your site. IE tutorial sites, image sites, etc. Most of your links everyone's heard of so they aren't helpful. Also, this subpage should have been in the "for you" category.
Interact
I didn't see a point to this section. It had a guestbook, which should have been linked in "WWW" or "Stylissimo" and an email link, which should have been in the "about" page.
return factor 2/5
Enough content, but I'm not much of a buy-a-layout type of person.
navigation 7/10
There are too many links, maybe you should narrow them down to the sections you chose and just have Stylissimo, Clients, Services, Tutorials, For You, WWW, Interact. And even then, I would probably put tutorials and interact in the "for you" category.
bonus 0
Your site isnt spectacular. It seems like you rely more on quantity than quality, and you have definate talent so this upsets me.
comments
As previously mentioned I think you are truly talented, but you do so many slap-bam jobs [very quickly, done without much thought] that your desgin site doesn't set you apart from the rest. Things that might annoy others, but not nearly as much as me, is the fact that your content pages don't open up into an iframe, pop-up, or div-style. If you don't have a perfect site and layout, why would people want you to design theirs? I felt like you spend enough time, but not effort on the site, if you catch my meaning. You have a lot of potential, you just didn't harness it. I wish you the best because I feel like you have a slew of ideas for layouts, and you have talent to do them. Just wait for inspiration, don't rush anything and don't rely on the near-300 customer mark. You should focus in more on stuff that you yourself would love to have made for you, even if it is free.
