    Well. Being honest here, I don't like it at all.

    Fonts are kind of plain and not enough design, everything look like copy and pasted or preshaped objects like that arrow on the login.

    You should take out the latias and celebi they just don't blend at all. What I like is the Pikachu, borders and render itself blends with the other maplestory monsters.

    Has potential, ultimately you can do a lot better job if you work more into it. And put more colors and blend it more.

    ^celebi & latios were just me tryna focus on pokemon. /failed.
    the fonts are plain because i don't think nice, "outgoing", "fun" fonts should be put on websites. Too tired of seeing "porky" on every maplestory graphics piece I see.

    arrow on login was actually handmade. o:

    The custom shapes tool makes arrows as well. I think you wasted your time hand making an arrow you could've made with the same result in seconds. I don't think you can successfully mix maplestory and pokemon together and make it work. I don't really like it tbh. Also the navigation looks messy, I think it would be better in a bar. Colors could use some work and as well as the font. Maplestory isn't meant to be professional and clean, not bad to use creativity once in awhile.

    Wrong. The fonts are perfectly fine, it is only a website, after all. However, the placement and organization of this website is sloppy. Always plan out your website templates on paper before actually creating them in Photoshop, this way you'll be helped even more. You also don't need random pictures EVERYWHERE across the whole damn website, that ruins its flow. Go a little more simple and try not to be too... different. 4/10 overall.

    i'm actually quite satisfied with the website, as it's my second attempt, ever, designing a website and it's much better, in my opinion, than the maplestory websites out there on gtop. o:

    thanks for the critique, guys. taking it into consideration o;

    Re: Comment & Critique on CMS

    I dont see whats wrong with it at all.

    I like it.

    Just one thing, is the part at the bottom suppose to be a scroll? Just wondering because of the feint little lines on the edges.
    nothing wrong with it, it just doesnt look scroll like enough for me to be certain.

    Good job. I dont think there is much wrong with the text.
    Simple text goes with simple site. Not everything has to be complicated and in your face.

    I have a completely unrelated comment. So since it's PokemonMS instead of CMS, doesn't that make this PMS?

    I wonder, CMS stands, and always have, for content management system, thus some sort of admin, what I see here, though, is some ugly maple page layout?

    Re: Comment & Critique on CMS

    I like the concept, very much.

    While some areas do look a little 'thrown in', it all comes together pretty nicely. Though, if I'm being honest with you - which is what you requested - IF you do use the dreaded Times New Roman font, style it? Perhaps an italic, or a little colour - something dark still. That, or go for another sans serif font such as Georgia - which also looks nice italic :).

    Keep it up!

    Quite messy with actually no nav bar but a few buttons here and there. Huge renders and the arial font.

    Re: Comment & Critique on CMS

    I'd suggest to change the fonts and then maybe move the many with buttons on the left side.
