Site is clean of clutter, load time is swift, and the overall site design is very simple and straightforward. No complicated Flash or Java or dynamic pages here, just plain old HTML. My only criticism comes from the navigation table on the side; it would be much better-looking if the articles were linked in drop-down menus, or a navigation frame, or something else of that ilk.

Navigability: 8

Every page is linked to the main, and she made sure any nonexistent links loop instead of being left broken. Wise decision. Like I said, the navigation table needs reforming, as should this site grow it's gonna be as bogged down as the Witches Way is, but for the time being it doesn't interfere, so it's a low priority thing.

Colour Scheme: 8

I'm not too fond of the particular shades of brown and green she used for the navigation table, but it isn't intrusive and it is unique, and the main text fields look fine.

Semantics: 10

Spelling and grammar are virtually immaculate. Polysyllabic words are used in proper context. The author's very well spoken, and it shows.

Originality: 10

It's new, it's fresh, it's Reconstructionist Traditionalist, and it's cool. What more could you ask for? Maybe a few more articles, but hey, like I said, the site's new.

Delivery: 9

She's no holds barred, like me, but there's no naughty words. Kinda like Cassie's site, this is one you can show the kiddies.

Knowledgeability: 10

The author is well-informed. I can't say much for the articles as there are only a few up there, but while I didn't see any references, I didn't see any plagiarised work either. So far, so good.

Style: 10

She acknowledges head-on that her site's gonna piss people off. She admits this, and like me, tells you straight up what's ahead. And she puts her money where her mouth is. Her entire site is straight up, no bullshit. I don't agree with everything she says, but I agree with most of it. Nevertheless, I love how she says it, and that's what matters. ^_^

Fluff Factor: 10

No fluff here. Some rather interesting viewpoints, but the Heath seems as unfluffed as they come. Kudos.

Cool Factor: 8

It's still rather thin at the moment, but I have it bookmarked, and I'm going to keep coming back for more. I suggest you do the same.

FINAL RATING: 92% or

This site fucking owns. Nuff said. I officially put my stamp of approval on the Crooked Heath, for what it already is and is bound to be over the next few months. Way to go, Danielle.
