Score analysis:

0-25: EXCELLENT! Take your designer to lunch. Your site must be readable, navigable and pleasing to the eye.
26-40: If personal, needs some work, but in general, not a bad site. Great for an E-com site. May have some speed, navigation or readability issues, though.
41-65: You may need a make-over. Maybe some styling suggestions would help. Not too bad for a commercial site, but we should have a look.
over 65: Hmmm... Desperately in need of an updated design. We can help you optimize the number and size of your images, or make some improvements in content presentation and style.
