First Impressions

Lily, your site is the slowest loading site out of my lineup of daily visits. It took 17 seconds to load (Time it. 17 seconds is longer than it seems…), whereas, for example, Clem’s site took 1 second. Any idea why yours takes so long?

Layout/Design

Your layout is pretty good. I don’t really like how the side navigation goes further up than the header. It looks a little awkward, and it also makes the dangling flower have to dangle even further. I think that you should either cut off the side navigation where the header starts, or move the header up. I know that other people like the navigation and header like it is, so this is just my opinion.

Your color scheme is okay. The gray and red (or is it orange?) look good together. But it’s a little plain. I liked the old flower hover effect over the navigation! It made your layout more interesting.

Speaking of flowers, your dangling flower looks weird, like it dangles too much. But, you don’t have to get rid of it! I think that your welcome message, the one below the flower, would look really cool next to it. That way there’s not so much blank space.
