Purpose: The purpose of this site is to show the user many different examples of designs for a website to help inspire creating their own.
Questions:
What is the site's URL? Why is it your favorite?
The website's name is DesignModo.com. I chose this website as my favorite because of it's easy use of navigation and colors. The design is easy on the eyes and the click events such as the search buttons are easy to find because they're at the top.
Does the site's home page validate?
After using the validator on the home page, NO, the site's home page came out with 107 errors.
Find any other page on the site. Does the second page validate?
I validated the link that was given to us on LP-2 of DesignModo.com's Examples of CSS Website Designs and it came out with 64 errors. NO, it did not validate but it had less errors than the home page.
Document how many validation errors and/or warnings may exist on each of the two pages you validate.
The home page had 107 errors while the second page I validated had 64 errors.
How would you rate the site's design, on a scale of 1(horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?
The design of the home page was a little plain with the white background. It had a few colors and words that matched the pictures but other than that, nothing stood out significantly. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 6.
How would you rate the site's usability on a scale of 1 (horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?
I believe the search bar is an important tool when it comes to usability. It makes exploring the website a lot easier when you're searching for specific information. I did not see a search option on the home page, but on the second page I validated I did see one. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give this website an 8. It was easy and straight to the point to understand.
Does the site meet its purpose?
Yes, the site meets its purpose. It showcases and has templates available for the user or customer to use to help create their own designs.
