Is your site informative?

This site was slightly odd, but still highly informative.  It had a large amount of information, but in my mind Andyart.com was a little easier to comprehend.

Does it look good?

The site was very creative and fun to navigate through.  There weren?t as many creative icons or pictures as Andyart.com.  I did however like the lay out of the page, straightforward and to the point.

Is it using good code?

Since I have only dabbled a little bit in HTML, I was kind of lost in some of the more advanced code the page contained.  But from what I did understand, the code seemed fine, and I didn?t see any broken links.

Can you find your way around the site?

This site also contained a mini search engine, which lets you find anything that the site contains with ease.  This saves you a lot of time, probably which would have been spent scrolling through all the pages on the site trying to find what you?re looking for.

What will keep people coming back?

The creativity found on this site along with the large amount of information will keep people visiting on a regular basis.

Is it pleasing to the eye?

The site is not as pleasing as Andyart.com, but it still contained nice wallpaper and pleasing to the eye font colors.  This helps a lot when reading the information for long periods of time.

Does it use tables?

I didn?t see any tables, but the site did contain a few articles on how to make different types of tables. 

Can you find what you are looking for?

Through the use of the mini search engine described earlier I was able to type in a key word and find exactly what I wanted, if the site contained it.

What are you gifting?

Information and viewing other various useful information and short-cuts in Photoshop.

How is it laid out

The site was laid out nicely and everything was easy to find.  Sort of like a well worked paper.  I also found it to be only somewhat balanced with a lot of text and not to many graphics.  

Does it use audio or video?

I didn?t hear any audio and couldn?t find any video

Does it use a linear or non-linear system?

This site uses a non-linear style layout.  You can jump right from the home page to pretty much any page the site contains via use of the mini search engine.
