    The layout loaded pretty quickly. The layout is also very cute. I'm not sure that I really like the sticky note that has the website name on it, but that's just my personal preference.

    The comic that was displayed on the main page was funny and made me want to go and read more of the comics. I read through some of the other ones and found some more that were funny but also some that I didn't quite understand.

    I liked that there was an explanation of the characters shown in the comic strips. I would be interested in meeting some of these characters because the current strips only show me two of them.

    The T-shirt that is offered in the store have a very cute graphic on them. I also like that there were desktops offered for downloading that were very cute.

    In order for this website to keep me around they would need to add more comics but I know that slowly they are being added so I just have to be patient.

    Overall:
    Nice sleek design, good comics!

    Good stuff:
    The layout is sleek and tidy, the name of the site is quite cool. I also like your banner!

    Bad stuff:
    Their isn't much content on the site, and ... Freewebs (now Webs) is terrible! Your site could be a lot better if you found a better host(like http://tyreus.com) and used html & css, webs is extremely slow to load. It's too long, your visitors will leave because of loading times! Also, there could be some more comics. I had a look threw, and there were only 6 and only 2 that show up!

    Nice site, my review:

    Good stuff:
    The layout works well, and the name of the site is cool. I also like your banner, but maybe you could add a border around it?

    Bad stuff:
    Their isn't much on the site, and UGH, Freewebs (webs) sucks! Your site could be a lot better if you found a better host and used html + css and webs is incredibly slow to load, it look about 15 secs to load your site. Thats too long! It should take only around 3 seconds (on my 20MB/s connection) to load. And, their could be some more comics. I had a flick threw, and their was only 3.

    So overall a good site, but has some flaws in it that could do with being fixed.

    Thanks!

    But leaving webs means a complete redesign of the site is needed, plus finding a new host and actually building the website myself.

    Also, there's only three comics but it's growing, I'm posting one every wednesday and saturday, so check back :D

    There isn't much to review yet, but here are the things I noticed:

    Content:
    I read your three comics, and while the last one has an overused punchline without bringing anything new to the table, there might be potential for the others. There should also be previous/next links on the home page for easy access to previous comics (this might be irritating to do in your current situation, with no scripts allowed).

    Layout:
    Not much to say here; it's simple and allows focus on the comic itself. I'd probably add a border of some sort around the whole thing to make it look a little neater and

    Code:
    Instead of resizing the images in the HTML as you do on the character and comic page, it's a better practice to create your own thumbnail images and display them instead. This way, the browser doesn't have to spend time loading the full sized image (in the case of the characters page, this is rather large) and then shrinking it--it can just load the smaller image.

    As for the quality of the code itself, there's much to be said here, but I believe you're using a template so I won't go into that.

    Typos:
    - Character page: "His unwilliing love..." -- should be unwilling
    - "... beautiful and quite frankly," -- should be a comma after and

    General:
    The site has an irritating tendency to give me an error when I first open most of the pages, so I have to refresh to view content. I know someone mentioned this for the Trigger website, but please, do yourself and your visitors a favor and switch out from freewebs. I'd suggest an alternate host, but the ones I know provide hosting only for noncommercial sites.

    Good luck with the webcomic!

    fugabutacus's Response:

    Thanks! I fixed the typos and added a 'see more' option on the homepage for easy access to the comics.

    I'm working on a new characters page and I'll be sure to use a smaller image.

    As for being hosted by Webs, why does everyone seem to hate them? I've rarely had trouble with them and they make building a website easy and very customisable. If I had to develop my own websites, it would take longer and there are almost always errors (it seems impossible to please both Internet Explorer and Firefox!).

    As for the content itself, I'm glad you liked it! Feel free to keep checking back on wednesdays and saturdays for new comics (hint, hint) :D :-)
