How would you rate the site's design, on a scale of 1(horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why? The design is formatted well and visually appealing. However, the fact that the site's purpose is to teach about coding, yet they have countless errors is quite ironic and calls into question the relevance of their information. For these reasons I would rate it a 5.
How would you rate the site's usability on a scale of 1 (horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why? Despite many errors in the coding of the site, I tried numerous links and they all functioned properly. The layout and menu organization makes the site very user friendly. I would rate it a 9 for usability.
Does the site meet its purpose? It does seem that it does meet it's purpose, although I do wonder how up to date all the information is as several errors were due to obsolete elements.
