First Impressions & Appearance – (16 out of 20)
Starting with your site design & appearance, the color scheme seems a bit basic, the color scheme is just white with a tad bit of black and gray here and there. I think that for a site, you might want to make the color scheme a bit more noticeable. The banner does need some work though, the banner is just basic text, very small and not that creative. It doesn't have any creative fonts, colors, icons, ect. It's just basic text saying the site name. I think that for the banner, you should try making it a bit more creative and try getting it to look nice to grab the viewers attention. The buttons though that are used on the site are very nice because they have a 3D look to them, they stand out with the background and can be seen easily. Overall, the appearance of the site does have its ups & downs. I would just say work on the banner really, that seems to be the biggest thing I can say that is affecting your appearance.
Site Layout – (15 out of 20)
The layout of the site is pretty nice, you have some good features to it such as the "Hot", "Trending", and "Vote" features so that the visitors can find all different sorts of comics. One thing I noticed was the lack of organization. I didn't see any sort of categories to categorize the comics into specific categories. I see that this may not be beneficial to you but I do think that it could help in the long run by simply organizing the content around. That way, if a visitor wants to find a specific type of article such as technology related, health, ect. It makes it easier for them to find it then. You have a very nice navigation set and the navigation is easy to use and doesn't consist of broken links of any kind or redirecting me to an incorrect URL. Overall, your site layout is pretty good. I think that adding categories though would benefit you in the long run if you added it.
Statistics and Activity – (13 out of 20)
Looking more into your Alexa stats, your Alexa ranking stands at 2,456,207 and your US ranking doesn't have anything stated. Showing that you are not ranked in the US ranking system at all. I also noticed that you have 0 star reviews meaning nobody has reviewed your site through Alexa to help raise you Alexa ranking. Also, you stand to have a total of 4 sites linking in and a total of 1,488 back links for your site. The number of back links that you have are pretty good but only having 4 sites linking in won't help your site grow very much if you don't promote it more. I would also be concerned that you are not ranked in the US at all and how low your Alexa ranking is. Overall, you really need to work on the stats on your website if you really want to make this a successful site.
Content – (15 out of 20)
Looking at the site, I can tell that you have a few members or participators that enjoy posting a lot of content around your site because there are a few names that come up very commonly after going through a few pages of comics. One thing I would like to suggest is that you should try to get some new people to post some things around, seeing the same people posting all the time is nice but it gets annoying if they are the only ones really making content for the site. Why not try a contest to get new visitors to make some content for the site and help get the content count up there more? The more people that you get to post content around the site, the more members your site might get because people will help promote the site for you if they really like it. Overall, you have some great content, I would really just work on getting some new people to post it though.
Spelling/Grammar & Professionalism – (17 out of 20)
Looking through a lot of the comics, there aren't very many grammatical errors if there are any at all which is very good and very surprising being that many comics to "L33T" speak to make them look funnier and connect to the younger generation in this day and age. Looking around, I also found that the site has some very professional features and the grammar is very professional but the design itself is very professional because it doesn't have disrespectful images or content. So Overall, the site has some very professional features and the content has great spelling and grammer. So let us wrap up this review!
Total Score - (76 out of 100)
Final Remarks:
Overall, IAP was a nice site to get to review, I had many laughs when going through it, I just think that the design of the site could really use some work to be honest but other then that, the site was a joy to be on. Hope you enjoyed the review.
