Axis Cube Last layer Faceing

Hey Cube Nerds... So I'm trying to solve the Axis Cube with the conventional beginner's method. The white cross, the white corners, rotate the cube with the yellow face upwards, locate the second layer edge pieces, last layer yellow cross, face all the yellow sides upwards, rearrange the corners into position then finally rotate the edge pieces into their correct locations.

Here's my problem with the Axis Cube. How can you tell when all the yellow faces are oriented in the correct direction? With a standard cube the yellow face would appear completely yellow but the outer sides would look incorrect. With the axis Cube I can't tell when all the pieces are rotated the right way.

PS: I oriented the center pieces after the first layer with a center rotation algorithm. I'm not really a speed cuber, I generally try to solve them as intuitively with as few memorized algorithms as possible.

Thanks🙏
