Detailed Analysis

Your directory has a clean layout and is visually appealing. There are a few things that just need attention and after a bit of advertising, you should have a fast growing directory.

Firstly, your sublink categories are really hard to read with the blue background. I suggest you make them black links instead. Also, I would remove the ',' after the last subcategory link. Having a unique icon for each category would also have a nice feel to it.

Your partner links section should have two changes. Firstly, the Clicksor ad should be resize to a small rectangle ad instead of the large square for the time being as you start to build up on your partner links. When I refresh, the clicksor ad is usually only occupied by one ad anyway, so it looks bad with that blank space.

Try adding more features for each link such as a PR checker - it makes the directory more appealing to add to. An 'About Us', 'Contact' and 'FAQ' page would be a nice addition too.

Also, remember it is spelt ULTIMATE, not ULIMATE as you have named your site. Remember to fix the footer text as well, it is also spelt wrong.

Good luck - Remember to add a favicon too!

Review by Anthony Lieu. Your site was accessed on an ADSL T1 connection, on Mozilla Firefox with a screen resolution of 1280x1024. Thank you for allowing me to review your website design - I hope it was useful.

I liked the site. It was hard to read some of the text. I would suggest making the contrast a little different for the blue text against a blue background.

The site is good, I like it, but when trying to add my website to the directory, it would not work for a long time, and when it finally stopped giving me the error messages it did not show up in the directory :S

I still say the roll overs and text in several areas is hard to read or almost disappears completly.

I really like this directory as its visually attractive. However, your sub categories are quite hard to read with the the background as it is, i recommend you changing the font so it is easier to read. Your subcategorys have commas after each onebut so does the last one which you should remove or replace with a fullstop. On your partner links section you need to blend in the clicksor ads more into your site as they stick out as the background doesn't blend in very well with the background of the partner links section. Also you have on the left hand side, place your partner links here but there is nowhere to suggest how i can do this.

Anyways i like the logo and i wish you good luck with your directory
