Content: **.5

Design/layout: **
Technicality: ***
Overall statement: A large, informational Sailormoon site that
unfortunately has mixed information. 
(The maximum amount of stars is five.)

The first thing on a main page that anyone notices is a title image. So, as I returned to Ziggy's main page many times over, I noticed something odd, yet cool. The title image rotated to something else every time you came back! I saw about three different graphics displayed. Background is nice, although the rainbow colors don't exactly match the image bordering.

Introduction, blah blah blah... he's making a WPR? More competition, I see. A midi I don't recognize- and as I read on, I see it's called Chaos' theme. Ziggy's moving to a domain, by the way- good luck with that! 

First section: Information Center. Nice background, although the colors don't match, once again. Reads on and- *cringes*. I was afraid this would happen... "Senshi" and "Scout" in the same sentence. I quote, "This page has every Sailor Scout there is (including Sailor Galaxia and Sailor Cosmos)." Galaxia and Cosmos weren't ever even "Scouts", so please just try not to confuse information. 

These profiles mentioned are all very similar. Enormous pictures that aren't very organized, stats, and a few insights. Some pictures were linked directly to- a big no no. And try to put the text in a table so it doesn't overlap the border of the background. 

The Villain Info main page has the coolest border layout! I love the little pictures of all of the different villains. With this layout, I see no need for the border background along with it. Each page has a section for all of the different groups of villains- again, more dub and original information mixed up. Sailor Tin Can? That's the first I've heard that. A typo, I think, so it can be forgiven. ^^ TinCat is used later on, which is acceptable. It's interesting, though, because the term "Negaverse" is used- but the "Makaiju" is the name of the next one. No section on the DeathBusters, my personal favorite. *sniff* Oh well. Zoicite is female in his profile. 

The Whole Story: this isn't, unfortunately, the whole story. It's only what DiC has dubbed so far. I'm glad that Ziggy stuck to one of the stories, instead of mixing them, but this shouldn't be referred to as "The Whole Story", because it's not. The Mini Story is just a shorter version of the same story. The text should probably be in a table or a blockquote or something, so it doesn't overlap the border. 

No problems with the episode list, it only covers the dub episodes. 

Next section: Trivia Quiz. Fairly simple, I got 10 out of 10. ^^ Nice questions, though, I like. Requires java. 

Updates: Ziggy has decided to make a Venus/Minako shrine! *Yaaayyyyyy!!!!* (No, I'm not biased! *ahem*) Again, just put the text in a table. 

Other Stuffs: (hehe- that sounds cute- Stuffs). Oh boy. We've got a little problem here. It seems to me that this is the exact same layout that Sailormoon.Org has, only in purple and with Iron Mouse featured in the little communicator screen. Same background and everything- *sigh*. Something must be done about that. But moving on- this section has things like postcards and calandars and stuff, all with the same
layout. The calandars are decent, and even though Ziggy says he has made them, I've seen them used somewhere else before- but I'll take his word for it.

Multimedia: *drools* Adorable Usagi pic!! I love it! Where ever did you find it, Ziggy? Never seen it before. SO kawaii. The MIDI page isn't loading for me... it's on a different server. Hmm. There are English only lyrics in the lyrics section, which is okay. Nice navigation on that page. Good job. Lotsa movies! All zipped. Not bad. The background
matches! *applauds*

Cool Stuff: the first section of this is Ziggy's Adoption Center. The header on this page is a BMP file, not viewable with Netscape. I'd suggest changing it to a JPG or a GIF. The page is basic, very cute. Awards... nice. Fan Fiction... not bad. Zodiac Chart... simple charactaristics. Not bad either. How to Draw Sailor Moon. The first thing on this page explains that Ziggy hates it when people steal other people's work, and not to take this. I've seen a few things stolen on this page itself.. hmm. Step by step drawings, not horrible or anything. Simple, but nice. Website competition- self explanatory.

Toolbox: think of Apatt's SM Toolbox- same name and everything. Love the background on this one, although my little Minako doesn't quite match the purple. ^^ In fact- this looks exactly like Apatt's Toolbox. Same features and everything. The graphics offered are decent, however.

Image Gallery: this has a very nice navigational system and design. One light problem: no thumbnails, but it is said that this will be fixed. Great! Pictures aren't too bad- of course, Venus was the first one checked out. *blushes*

Chat, message board, zzn.com mail, awards, all self explanatory. No problems.

Lastly, About Ziggy: once again, I see we have the same layout as Sailormoon.Org, only altered a bit. In-depth stuff, yadda yadda.. ooh, the Ziggy is the same age as me! Maybe we could chat sometime... hehe.

All in all, this page is not bad, just rising about average. I would just suggest fixing the mixed information between the dub and the original show. Good luck with your move to the domain, Ziggy! One day I'll be getting one of my own! ^^ Ja!
