I hate to admit it, but I really expected your site to be horrendous. I don’t know why. I just did. But, looking at it for the first time (I try not to view the sites I’m reviewing before I start writing their review; that way, the review is more precise), I realize that my assumption was very, very, wrong. Your site actually looks pretty nice.

I notice right-off a ridiculously bright color scheme. Although pink and green are two of my favorite colors, I don’t think the shades of these colors you used are appropriate for a website. I suggest toning them down a bit, especially the green. Your navigation looks terrible. The colors are bad enough on white, but they’re just as blinding on top of each other.

To be perfectly honest, I was a little afraid of writing this review, knowing that you and your webdesigning skills totally pwn me; I feel like a total n00b saying anything, positive or negative, about your site.

Much to my disappointment, I’m greeted by a really eww-worthy theme. This is a surprise! I was expecting to have difficulty finding something to criticize… well, I obviously don’t have to worry about that now.

I won’t go into full detail of my distaste for your current theme, so I’ll just state my biggest problem: The stripey rainbow background. There’s three words that should never be in the same sentence, especially in a review of such a talented webmistress: Stripey. Rainbow. Background. Good God! This wouldn’t be so bad if you had a solid-colored background. Even if you kept the rainbow colors and made them a little less conspicuous. Anything to rid this theme of the eww-worthiness!

Hoo boy. This layout isn’t working for me. First of all, I can’t stand double sidebars. Second, why do you want to greet your visitors with Google Ads? If you’re going to have two sidebars, at least have actual content or information in them. Your ads could always go in a footer or further down in your sidebar.

This color scheme isn’t looking too good. I just don’t like it. Blue, red, and pale yellow? And black text on a blue background? I don’t know, it’s just not working for me. It’s boring. As for your header image, it’s just okay, too. Actually, using celebrity images is illegal. Read this article for more information. So you’re breaking the law by using that picture of that guy from Papa Roach. Actually, the image would look better without him in there.
