For me (in The Netherlands) the domain is not up yet: > The domain that you are trying to use does not exist. Please click on one of the links below to help find your site. > ResolvingNameServer.com provided as a free service by DNS Made Easy, the world leader in Enterprise DNS Service.

That's funny, according to https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/psdgrade.com (which is not a complete list of course) some DNS servers have the entry and some have the old 54.235.159.97 (that's the parked domain). The URL http://162.243.32.243/ seems to work fine.

Looks like the math is off for the grade.

Received an F for a place and still got a 100% A somehow.

Interesting and promising! A few points: (for context, I'm a decent developer working as designer)

- Considering the usual use of PSDs (contract work, most of it is under some sort of NDA), online uploading tool makes this a bit worrisome. I would much prefer drag-and-drop offline solution, similar to Slicy app. That would fit into designers' workflow and we could see some improvements.

- Right now the "grading" areas are few, and somewhat questionable. Mostly questionable is the use of different fonts and font sizes. Many designs benefit from 5-6 different fonts, slightly varying in weight and sizes for best legibility. Some designs are only possible because of that. Much more meaningful insights would be, for instance, non-integer font sizes (23.989 instead of 24), or use of too many font families, opposed to just "fonts" (same family, different weights).

Not working here in Dubai and neither are the alternative domains provided. If it doesn't work for you try the direct IP (162.243.32.243).
