Layout: 18/20
FIRST LOOK: OMG! What an amazing layout, the images look gorgeous!
Look over: Ok,so the layout was ordered from another designer, but that doesn’t take away from the WOW effect! I mean it’s not really colorful but it looks professional and very well coded. I love that slight little pink bubble, it adds a touch of color, which is nice. The bubble brush thing keeps it from being too professional and therefore boring. The colors are beautifully matched! On the top banner...is the welcome message supposed to look like double layered? If not it’s messed up in the coding or something! If it’s supposed to look like that, well then alright. But it looks like someone messed up which probably is not a good thing. The images are nicely blended though. But maybe next layout you could ask for a nice colorful layout so you can have “different” layouts each time. I was going to say a different word, but I forgot what it was. Ha-ha. Anyways so far everything is looking good. Of I go to look around. Dun.dun.dun, just kidding. OK, so I am going to only take off 2 points because you didn’t make the layout yourself. Truthfully this doesn’t matter it’s just some people will respect you more if you do it yourself, so though this doesn’t always matter, it’s just something good to know.

Graphics: 10/10
The only graphics is the layout, and the affiliate buttons. Their nice and all but it’s a challenge site...so…full points? Ha-ha!

Content: 5/7
You have a few challenges per but you didn’t elaborate on what you wanted just like a sentence or two for each challenge. I would elaborate more on each challenge. Make them creative it makes people want to enter your challenges more. At least that’s my point of view. I will most likely enter challenges with a creative flow to them that get MY creative juices flowing. So maybe next challenge throw in some unique surprises and such! But it is good that you have MANY challenges. It’s a good thing to have a credits page ,link me page, and affiliate page :-) So nice job :)

Organization: 14/15
Everything is in a good place, everything can be found. Though, maybe each challenge should have it’s own page and what you do on the lets say “Site challenges” is say Challenge#1-Best site and then link to it and elaborate on that challenge on it’s page so it’s intriguing to enter. But remember to do that with each challenge that was just an example. The reason why you should do something like that is because it looks easier to look at and then also so you CAN elaborate on it, and it won’t look messy and hard to find. You know what I mean? Well if not, email me[link]

Niceness: 10/10
Your little message before the tag board showed me how nice you were, and it is always good to let your visitors know what you tolerate and do not. Not to mention your warning them before they post you will do what you have to. Also you said it in a polite manner which does not offend anyone. This means you should probably have less problems in the future and it’s better than the list form of rules. The paragraph is much better. Also little smiley faces let us know your truly kind and sweet! Nice work!

Creativeness: 5/10
You haven’t been to creative with your site though I like it, you should make the challenges creative. It would truly make the site much better. But so far you seem to know what your doing, people are intrigued by creative/unique personalities.

Updates: 4/5
Whenever you get a new entry you should post a small update about it so the visitor knows if they were added. You have two new entries so you should make a small update about them. Good luck :)

Colors: 8/10
I like how professional it looks but you should experiment with the style sheet and the colors in the layout next time around. I would do this so it doesn’t bore the visitor after seeing two un-colorful layouts. So add some vibrant colors next time just remember not to go overboard!

Extra: 5/10
You don’t have that extra something just yet but I have a feeling next time I come here you will! To have it just elaborate and be creative and you will succeed!

Bonus: 3/5
I saw my link but it’s a text link so two points off, but don’t worry!

ADVICE: My advice will be to add more elaboration and uniqueness to all your challenges and to create separate pages for each challenge. The rules for each type of challenge should be left where they are and then the challenges should remain where they are located…but in a link to their pages! It would be ideal for elaborated challenges. Also add a personal touch to each challenge so I don’t get bored and [x] out of the page. Otherwise you have a potentially great site and you should go for it!
