Hello, i think you have a nice looking site, you have done a good job.

As far as the content goes, it searves a purpose, a good one at that.

For the teacher and others that disagree, look at it this way, the students that can write essays will still write them, and the students that cant, can visit this site and learn tips, yes they can copy the essays, but if the teacher doesnt notice this, then the teacher needs flogging not the student.
Good luck with your site.

All the pages look the same except for the Wish List page. I think that consistency is good so maybe you cout put that in with the other layouts. The rest of the site is fine. Great work!!!

Thanks for the comments. The page split comments are well received (as is the denoucing , thanks.

Yeah, I know the page is a bit wierd in its layout, but that's because everything to the left (minus the login) is external to the site (including the Power Search) and all things are the right are internal to the site (including the Access Essays). I guess I could have flip-flopped them, but I needed a bit more space for the external stuff.

Thanks again.

Overall looks clean and professional I think that's the #1 concern.

For some reason I was bothered by the 50/50 vertical split. Maybe it was just because I never saw a page layout like that before but I think it was confusing to the page flow. It's too evenly balanced so you can't tell where the main content area is, which means you can't tell where you're supposed to instictively look. And the two evenly balanced people images doesn't help this either. Drop one.

When I go down just a little I see equally prevalant text links on both the left/white and right gray side. The set on the left are partners but the right are the important browsing links. I think something needs to be done to easily distinguish the browsing links. I think they would go much better higher up before the 'page fold'. You don't want people to need to scroll down before seeing how to browse the subjects. By the way, what's the diffence beween Access Essay and Power Search? Do you need both?

Listen to all floggers (whatever in the heck that is), your opinion on the design should not be influenced in any way by what the site is all about. The site is made by students, for students and whether you agree with it, the site was not started to encourage plagarism in any way. It was merely started to assist those who don't write well from a blank sheet of paper (myself included). In order for you to even browse more than 3 essays, you have to submit a legitimate paper which I proofread and approve nightly myself.

Please, review and critique the design.

Very nice, clean design. I like it.

I agree. I am going to refrain from reviewing this site for ethical reasons.

As a Language Arts/English teacher I simply have to say that you should be flogged.
Students do not learn by plaigirising the work of others.

I'm gonna add links to the other popular categories tonight under the main search box. I guess a site's never *really* done. Just always "almost" done. I can't seem to get the bottom copyright line to break away from the main part of the page, so the black's gonna stay for a while. I may add line breaks to even it out a bit.

Thanks again.
