Design:
The
site has a simple design, clean and efficient. Mark uses "PC and
Mac user friendly" fonts, no exotic, fancy or otherwise
decorative
fonts, making his site content legible. The use of a modest
space printed background adds color to the site without distracting the
user from the site's content. Images are used to give the site a
"Voltron" feel though sparingly to ensuring that the pages' loading
times
will be short. Mark does use java, in a limited manner, for
aesthetic
purposes only and no DHTML (from what I could tell, anyway). As
such,
the pages are "Netscape proof", viewing the same in both Internet
Explorer
and Netscape Navigator. No programming or code tricks here.
Just treats.
Functionality:
The
site functions very well. Updated and accurate
internal
and external links ensure that users do not get that annoying "404
error"
junk whenever they click on a link. Areas of the site are easily
accessible and things are well organized. Golion things with
Golion
Things, Dairugger XV things, with Dairugger XV things, etc. The
site
is rather large, containing information on all three Voltron series and
each anime the series were dubbed from. Mark recognizes the need
for organizing such an expansive and thorough site.
Content:
The site is LOADED with information
on
Voltrons I, II and III, Golion, Dairugger XV, Albegas and more. 10
out of 10 for interesting and informative content! There are
several
very unique things on Mark's site including original Golion art and
other
original images, sounds, statistics on the lions, the toys and the lion
pilots, censored images from Dairugger XV, a free classified ads
section,
the infamous Golion Petition and so much more. It's a fun site
with
lots to do. The site has been instrumental in further educating
many
Voltron fans and helping Voltron webmastrers in the creation of their
own
Voltron related fansites.
