Q: Does the site's home page validate?

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

A: The home page has 6 errors and 3 warnings. The second page has 3 errors and 0 warnings.


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

A: I would rate the site's design a perfect 10/10. It's obviously very well-done and visually appealing. The different colors and fonts match each other well and nothing feels out of place. Pictures and videos are well-placed to highlight different features.


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

A: I would rate its usability a 9/10. It accomplishes its main objectives, which are to give the user options to access and pay for its online content. The only slight complaint that I have is that the large number of links to various tutorials and references can be overwhelming to a new user. I know that is by necessity, because the website itself is so large, but it is nevertheless a lot to take in.


Q: Does the site meet its purpose?

A: Yes. The site's purpose is to help users access both free and paid options of learning different web languages, which this site easily accomplishes.
