I am going to be honest with you. Mainly because I get sick and tired of sugar-coating reviews of websites.

THE GOOD
The layout is simple, yet effective. The colors, while being nothing especially spectacular, are easy enough on the eyes. Though personally, I'd probably use a red like this.

No background music! Yay! Some people can't seem to resist bowing to the pressure of adding a background MIDI. I commend you for not doing this.

THE BAD
If that carpet doesn't quit following me around, it may have an untimely demise in a paper shredder.

I can see that you have set the font "Disney Print" as the font for your page. Alas, anyone who DOESN'T have that font installed (read: most people, including me) will see ugly old Times New Roman. May I suggest using Verdana instead? (That's the font you're reading now.)

Calling your site "The Ultimate Aladdin Fansite" seems a little pretentious. No offense, but I've seen a ton of sites that come way closer to contending for the title of "ultimate" than yours does.

THE UGLY
Too many animations. An animation here and there is fine, but using the animated game sprites as bullets is downright annoying. Ixnay 'em, I say, and replace them with something that doesn't move. Some people use a | as a divider. And before people were doing that online, the Sikh were doing it to separate their sentances. Like this:

Collection | Movies | Pictures | Multimedia | Forum


OTHER ADVICE
Well, the content of your site can be found pretty much everywhere else. I advise adding something to your site to make it truly special in regard of content. (But at the same time, nothing that's too flashy.)

In the thread that Nez posted for her fanart to "Consequences," I posted some links to Aladdin-esque fonts, if you're interested. Remember what I said about fonts though - unless people have them on their computer, they ain't gonna see them on the page unless you've used them in an image.

Well, there ya have it. Hope I didn't burn you too much while raking you over the coals.

I kind of like the Aladdin on the carpet. However, I don't like the black background, especially with the red font.
