Layout: FLYhigh, version two
Reviewer: Europa

Overall Site Score: 9.8

First Impression: The layout is absolutely beautiful. My first thought was basically ‘wow’. I also love the domain name; I’m an Ayumi Hamasaki fan as well (who isn’t?). The text is a little bit small, but still readable.

Layout: Like I said before, very nice. The layout is fairly easy on the eyes and almost seems professionally done. However, I did find a few little things worth mentioning. In the Etc section under ‘Union’, the layout took me longer than usual to load. I looked up your HTML script and it seems as if it is one large image and you used image maps and such. People with a slower connection might have some complaints about that. Maybe you can try breaking into smaller pieces; it should load faster broken up than as one large image. Everything else about the page is perfectly fine; it’s just a little speed issue. The final thing I wanted to mention here was the Linkage section under Exits. For me, the layout is perfect. However that’s on a 1024x768 resolution. Those with anything smaller than that screen resolution will have the layout scrolling up and down, and the picture will seem huge.

Content: I really love how you have updated screen captures of all your sites, even the sites that aren’t up yet! Very nice on the Resources section, I can’t tell you how delighted (and somewhat surprised) I was to see someone give credit like that. Honestly, you’ve outdone yourself with content. I can’t say anything here, but I salute you. XD

Technical: In the Network section under ‘Frozen’, the site’s screencap does not link to the site. Although I’m not actually sure if this was intentional, as you linked it in the summary and mentioned it wasn’t hosted on your domain.

Overall: I’m utterly stunned at the quality of this domain. It’s beautiful, nicely coded, the content is full of the right information, and there is even media for you to download before you leave. A lot of work went into this domain, that’s for sure!

Would I Come Back: I would definitely come back. The wallpapers are beautiful, the MP3’s are wonderful, and the domain is filled with a listing of creative websites.
