Website Review 1: w3schools.com

The website that is being reviewed for week one is w3schools.com. It is an online web tutorial for developers learning to code. The website itself consists of different elements like HTML, CSS, and JAVA broken down into smaller tutorial sections on what they are and how to write those elements of code.

1. Does the site's home page validate?

No, it does not validate.

2. Find any other page on the site. Does the second page validate?

I went the the PHP tutorial page. No, the second page does not validate either.

3. Document how many validation errors and/or warnings may exist on each of the two pages you validate.

The first page had 77 validation errors and the second page had 52 validation errors.

4. How would you rate the site's design, on a scale of 1(horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?

The site is very overwhelming even with the fact you can find each item in it's own section to break it down. The amount of info on the site itself with the multiple navation menus make it visually alot of items to take in. I would give it a 6.

5. How would you rate the site's usability on a scale of 1 (horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?

I would say overall the site isn't terrible to use because you can at least search in the very top navagation to find what you are looking for. I would rate the site to be a 7 because of that feature, but it does concern me that if it's a website teaching you how to code and every site page that i've checked does not validate.

6. Does the site meet its purpose?

Yes it does, you can learn different elements of writing code for a website in smaller sections with examples of how the code should look.
