Brief Description: it's just my domain and collective, with some stuff about me, my sites, the domain, some things for the visitor and links !

Splash: The shades of blue in your splash image are very pretty, though they seem to clash slightly with your page's background color. It's so hard to find blues that don't clash. The gray text on the blue-gray background is pretty hard to read, too. I'd use black (to match the black in the splash image) or a darker gray (to match the site title), if I were you. The links to your English version and French version are clear and attractively integrated into the image. This page doesn't especially wow me, but it gets the job done.  3/5

Layout: Again, you're using colors that seem to clash. The teal color of the text box and navigation doesn't complement the blues of the image very well, I'm afraid. Otherwise, this seems to be a pretty standard blog-style layout. It's perfectly serviceable, but not especially exciting.  3/5

Originality: Your layout is pretty standard, and your content is similar to the content on most personal sites. The most original thing about your site is the fact that it can be viewed entirely in English *or* in French. I think that is really cool. I also enjoyed participating in your survey, because I hadn't seen anything precisely like that on other sites, and everyone loves to talk about themselves. ;-) I like your wallpapers, and hope you plan to make more, because they are quite pretty.  3.5/5

Content: Well, this site seems to primarily house your site collective, so it's not very heavy on the content. A few bits about you, similar to the content on most personal sites ... a few bits for your visitors, similar to most personal sites ... and then the info on your domain and your various other sites. Several of your pages here (the main page, "The Sites," "Credits," etc.) are out-of-date, since they refer to your previous (Sarah Michelle Gellar) layout instead of the current (Jude Law) one.  3/5

Navigation: Your primary navigation, below the image of Jude Law, is easy to find, easy to read, and easy to use. Full points for that. Your navigation within sections is also clear and simple, with "Back" buttons on all the sub-pages. I found navigation here problem-free.  5/5

Various Comments: Somewhere-Else.Net seems to be a fairly utilitarian little site, and therefore not especially exciting or creative ... your other sites are where you put that energy, I think, which is fine. This is a perfectly serviceable portal site to lead folks to your other work.

Total Score: 3.2/5
