I think you better need to optimize your site for Search engines. I'm seeing lot of linkout to amazon and other sites. Site's look and feel is OK.

thanks for the review,, However like I said I just started the site and as for the forums they will be available for guests when I am ready for them to be and the tutorials if you read they have a read more link that will take you to them to see each one.Anyhow the criticism is much respected thank you a bunch megan

This looks like a template to me. That was my first thought. The animation in the logo area and generic background was a giveaway. At least the logo is half decent, although it could be better.

I was a little confused about what this site has to offer and how to navigate it. The directory section in the content area is very small in font. Too hard to read, so I moved on to other sections. All of the text here is very small and hard to read.

I tried some links on the left side -t he forums gave me an error message because I am not registered. Guests should at least be able to see the forums. HOw do I know if I want to register if I can't see anything?? This also means that the search engines can't find them. I also clicked on the members link and was just confused about the options there.

Overall there is not much real content on that menu. A bunch of hosting affiliate links, templates, downloads and links - all nothing special. Could find that anywhere. eStore??? Looks like a bunch of Amazon affiliate links. The tutorials which might be useful are buried under the Resources menu.

Trying to access the tutorials from the home page was a problem as well. I tried clicking on the main header and got sent to the tutorial index. Tried clicking on the little image and got sent to the same page. Had to look hard to find the "read more" link.

In general, there isn't much useful content here, the design looks like a template, and there are a lot of usability issues.

I am a non flash user on dialup, all i see is the flash plugin error box, no slip option.
Site does take a bit to load and suggest you change the white heading text to light grey or worst off white, because if those images should time out the headings wont be seen.

I like orange sites but think the side sections are to orange, maybe use the center gradient on the sides and keep the center yellow like the 'jump to' section, or use a lighter orange in teh boxs.
The text is very small and it reminds me of a nuke site or something.
Getting real picky, the icons on the left navigation should be transparent, on older screen you can see the different oranges - can see a square box

Even though I like orange, i would say try to avoid too many graphics or flash because it will take too long to load. Besides that, I love the design, not simple, but not complicated at all. Lover the orange theme! Good content, great tutorials on Photoshop. Looks like the site is updated quite often. Keep up the good work!

I like it

Why did you put a google search box on your site though? isn't that just free advertising? or is it linked to adsense?

I like your site (even though Im a little biased since I like orange themed sites)... Anywho, I like the way things are positioned on the site, like categories, links and search boxes... on dial-up test your site loaded in 54 seconds and the flash header loaded first which is quite good considering its the first thing that should be noticed in a site.

It also has come to my attention that you used @ as your logo or site identity?

Also I like the fact that theres a skip option for your flash header, I always like a site that uses tree navigation and a tabbed interface...

as a comment, a little addition to the header flash you could add a site definition so that visitors could know what your site is about at first glance...

just about it for the moment...
