First Impressions
I was pleasantly supprised when I entered your site. Normally when I get given a freewebs site to review I dread it because there sites are not that nice to look at but yours really is. I would definatly continue browsing round your site if I had came across it, nice work!Homepage
I like the header image. The fact that it's non-celebrity makes it more original. Although I can see some mistakes where you haven't removed the whole background around a few of the pictures, nothing is really that noticable. I love the pictures though, I love the one of the fingers, it made me laugh.Your CSS coding is also very nice, so it comes out looking very nice on your page. When I worked with freewebs, I didn't know half the CSS skills you know now. It's really amazing. You style sheet is very nicely layed out too. Mine is a complete mess!
You genral homepage coding is nice too. I am very impressed!
One thing I would say about your homepage, is that you have a lot of affies/link exchanges. Maybe they don't all have to be on your homepage? Or maybe you could find a more organised way of laying them out.
I just had to comment on your attention to detail. Personally, I think that attention to detail is the key to a good site and yours is amazing!
I was reading your "welcome" section on the sidebar and to be honest, it doesn't really make sence.
You've writen:
Welcome to Apple Traffic, a small part of the web owned by me. Its a site where I post the things that I made, like my photography and layouts and write whatever I wan't. Its for fun and because I like web design a lot. I hope you enjoy your stay, leave a comment, and come back soon! <3
When you could just write:
Welcome to Apple Traffic. This is a site where I post my work (for example, photography and layouts) and write about my life. I hope you enjoy your stay. Leave a comment and come back soon!
On browsershots.org, I can see that your site looks pretty good in most browsers. The irregular browsers have a couple of small problems, but nothing to be worried about.
Content
About me:I don't understand the "random things" bit. It seems a bit pointless to be honest. You've kind of stated the obvious where you write:
I'm into web design, and I'm still trying to figure everything out. I'm not that great at it, but we'll see. I like art, and I like taking pictures, as you can see from my photography page. I just got a digital camera of my own, so hopefully soon I'll add more.
I can see why you want to include the other information, but perhaps rename the section to "in detail" or something.
Everything else in your "about me" section seems fine apart from the odd spelling mistake.
Apple traffic:
I can see your design skills are a lot better than your writing skills (not that I can talk, I'm exactly the same). For example, you've writen:
I have had other Freewebs sites which were okay, and even before that a Comcast.net site which was SO not good.
Which could be turned into:
I started with a comcast.net site, which was not very good. After that, I had several freewebs sites which were okay.
See how that's easyer to read?
If I were you, I would totally re-write that page. I would try and make sure its in time order so it's easy to follow. Other than that, that page is fine!
Layouts:
Your layouts are amazing! As I said before, you're design and coding skills are really very good. I like this page, and I can see no problems.
Photography:
The photos take forever to load, but they are nice once they have. I can tell you work hard to take all of these and they are very profesinal and very profesinally presented. I can see no other problems.
Brushes:
Your brushes are nice, I can see no problems.
Icons:
You made these icons? They're amazing! So proffesinal! I really like them! You are extreamly talented at graphics making.
Quotes & quote banners:
I think this is a nice change to a site. No problems.
Credits
I love your credits page. It's neat and you say what each site helped you with. Very nice.Conclution
Your graphics skills are really amazing. Your writing could be improved, but I would come to your site just for the high quality graphics.Your sites going to go far, keep up the good work.
