Link Dorkie Reviews [5/5]: Linked.
First Impression [6/7]: I adore the cleaniness and neatness of the layout! It
took a while to load though, considering I'm on broadband. It could just be
that I'm visiting your site on some downtime, though.
Navigation [9/10]: Pretty ordinary. Maybe make it more interesting? A
mouseover or something? You have a simple layout, so you can afford interesting
navigation.
Layout/Splash page [15/20]: Your splash page is simple and pretty, but
necessary? Your requirements are relatively standard, anyway. The layout is clean
and beautiful. However, I dislike the scrolling iframe. You use PHP anyway; why
not discard the iframe and make the pages normal?
Graphics [10/10]: Excellent quality - the words stand out beautifully from
the header graphic.
Originality/Content [27/28]: Originality isn't key here, as this is a
directory, but I'm glad to see you accept listings not approved the The Fanlistings
or The Hatelistings. You have all the information you need here, and everything
is neat and concise. You offer ad killers, though, which I found rather
weird. I didn't take any points off because of it, but it didn't fit the rest of
the site. I suggest putting text next to the admin and b2 login links stating
not to click, just to put off some curious visitors.
Errors/Spelling [10/10]: Nothing seems to be wrong. Good spelling, and I love
how detailed the updates are.
Overall [10/10]: Definitely one of the best directories out there. I'll be submitting my links to this place in the future
