What is a "Celebutante"?
- It usually applies to young women expected to inherit a fortune, like Paris Hilton or Nicole Richie who have become celebrities because of their riches, and not necessarily because of demonstrated talent. On the other hand, young actresses like Lindsay Lohan who have given excellent performances in the past and are sitting on pretty fortunes may also be considered a celebutante.

1. How do you feel about the site
- Glamorous

2. How is the color mode of the site?
-It is glamorous on the outside but for the photo usage and color mood especially on models and object are not persistant, like they are just placed there for no reason. Look for a connection that could lead people's eyes. i lost my view after looking at two models on main page.

3. Can you understand the navigation buttons?
-Yes. But it is still kinda stuck in between formal or informal. which leads us back to connecting.

4. Can you understand what is this website aabot?
-No, although i do understand the terms of celebutante, your introduction page does not explained well enough on that therefore say i do not know the terms of celebutante, i would be blur throughout the whole time. My suggestion would be to give a consistent typeface for all pages and talk introduced yourself as a celebutante as if you have never met us before.

5. Do you know what is a "Celebutante"?
- Yes

7.Will you suggest people to view my site?
-I will actually because it is still an intersting topic over here and ppl love gossips :)

8.Do you know what is a "Celebutante" after viewing this site?
-As i mentioned, if i do not know the terms earlier, i wount have a clue in your site.

9.Do you rate this site?() -
Not Bad.

10.How do you feel about this site?
-Put more effort into typo choices and layout(i know you might hate typo haha but it effects alot actually)and the concept placement. Most importantly, the flow of reading and clicking. Thats all you are lack at. The design layout and theme is good already.

Also, if you do want to look into more details, change your copywriting instead of words like text me go with words that potrays image more like a high society. For example, your usgae on Look Like Us. That sounded like a celebutante. So this effects, for me, my flow of reading.

In my opinion, for a first timer in web designing you did a good job. well done :)

Here are my opinions on what you could possibly work on,

Overall color mood and theme is nice. However logo and typography is lacking. Should have a variety of fonts that gives that feeling of "glamorous".

Photo touch up and editing are nicely done.

Navigation namings are abit, not-so-glamorous to me. Especially "Text me!" and "Meet us @".

My biggest prob is I still don't understand the term "Celebutante". Probably with more information will help people to understand better

Keep up your good work!

8.why repeat question
9.(pass lah, still need add oil in TOA..)
10. Add more revealing photos.....wuuhoo~~ jk

the btn "text me" sounds like sms to me. Maybe work abit on the copy writing, on the look like us page, it the colour mood is abit "eerie" to me, no idea how to improve on that.. haha...just voicing my opinion only :)

cheers!

10. Some of the part the clickable region is not eye-catchy enuf, like the under My MTV there. Can proof check on your copy, grammar mistake here n there. typeface at the tips about fashion can improve, the arrangement of the text can improve also. The website looks nice. Good job!

5. No, go to question 6

6. kinda know a bit la

7.Depend, if my friends need this inform I will suggest, if not juz forget abt it.

8. (question removed)

9.(pass lah, still need add oil, add water, add onion, add egg, add meal and add nasi to fried in TOA..)

10. - I do think the home page the gal who wearing a grey color dress should replace other instead of like want to create a curious what inside the dress.

- if wanna do rollover effect dun show the hard edge.

- if there was a rollover button pls do some rollover effect or text box.Or else ppl will just think there no button and skip it.

- if that was a frame cover the whole website make ur button outside the frame not hang over or flow around there like now.

- some images that use is a bit over will make ppl misunderstand ur site about.


11. above 23 below 25

12. Anything I still wanna say?
Good luck and try your best.

Comments, question, suggestions :
Try out more typefaces, color schemes, consider options of suitable treatments for the site too. You might want to caption what Celebutante is.

The colors of the rollovers are abit too contrasting and bold. If you can make it subtle, that would do great. Reconsider the use of words as well as the size of the buttons. Spend some time on the final touches and detailing. :)
Hope this helps.
