First Impression

The site has an original name, that’s for sure. And there’s no site info page so I don’t know its meaning. =/

Navigation

The site is very easy to navigate. There are four navigation links that lead to directory-style pages.

Header

It’s certainly interesting! It’s an interesting use of typography. I wonder if she made it or if she just used in in her layout.
Judging by the font, she just used it in her layout. So… nevermind the praise. It’s a nice image, though.

Coding

The coding matches the header perfectly, which is always nice to see. Different fonts are used (Book Antiqua! <3), though not different effects. I’d like to see some letter spacing…

The coding itself is embedded. I would suject doing an external stylesheet, but it’s not necessary.

Content

Note: She offers two articles but I do not critique these.

Visitor

  • Avatars/Icons There are three 50 X 50 icons. They’re very cute.
  • Emoticons Aw, I love the moose icons emoticons. These are all pretty cute, though the pink and green ones are a wee bit hard to see.
  • Inspirational Quote Bars The title of this section made me giggle. I can’t actually read them (pixels words strain my eyes).
  • Pixels These are very cute little pixels! I adore the snow globes and snowmen.
  • Stock Images There aren’t very many which makes me sad. I really like the [fake] flowers and candles. The oranges are nice images, but the lighting
    in them is kind of bad.
  • Website Materials:
    • Backgrounds These are nice, a bit simple, though. Is one of them just grey?
    • Bullet Points I really like the little Tiaras and the candies. I think you should offer more colors of the bullets, since most sites have the arrows and round bullets.
    • Buttons Again, i think more colors are in order here! These are cute buttons; I have not seen pixel crayon buttons before.
    • Favicons/Dividers I was lazy so I put these together. The Favicons are nicely pixeled but they don’t stand out or anything. The dividers should also be offered in more colors

Summary

The site offers cute pixels, but if you aren’t a pixel lover/collector, this site really isn’t for you. Maybe its more of a blog site.

Suggestions

  • Add more avatars to generate more visitors.
  • Offer more color options for your pixels.
  • When taking stock images, make sure you have adequate lighting.
