Layout ~> 8/10
Well, so far so good. I love the picture on the splash page, although I do think that a purple background would suit it better than the green. The green seems to clash with the purple and pink of the picture (just my personal opinion though).

On to the main page… Awww. Such a lovely picture on the header. Only fault I can see is that the picture seems a bit faded. I realise that this has been done so that you can see the text in the menu, but if a way could be found of simply lightening the picture behind the text so that Shane and Gillian could smile out much brighter, I think it would be far more eye catching.

And it didn't take that long to load. :)

Navigation ~> 10/10
I think that the Navigation is really good. It's very simple and clear and it's impossible to get lost. :) Excellent Laura.

Content ~> 20/20
The site has a lot of information on it all about Gillian, including pages full of articles and info about the upcoming wedding, lots of photos and a fact file on the future Mrs. Filan. I must admit that I don't know much about Gillian Walsh but it appears to me that this site contains just about everything that's ever been found out about her from magazines and newspapers, and some 'exclusive' things that Laura's found out on her own - I don't know how, but she's obviously put in a lot of hard work. :)

Interaction ~> 4/5
There's a fan list where you can add your name and support for Shane and Gillian, there are also a few fan fictions, fan photos and fan meetings. And in the fun section there are quizzes, wallpapers, a calendar to print out, bookmarks and little graphics for your site. There's also an award you can win.

Contact details were quite easy to find and were in a few places.

Webmistress ~> 5/5
Laura seems to be very reachable as many of the sections on her site need contributions from other fans. She also seems very dedicated to the site and seems to update very regularly (every day or two).

Extra ~> 9/10
I really liked the site and the message behind it. It's always nice when fans are happy for the lads in their relationships and I always hate it when so called fans bitch about Westlife's girls just because of jealousy. So well done to Laura for promoting the happy side of it all. :)
