Website Coding - Summer 2022


The website W3.org

  1. What is the site name and URL you reviewed?
    I reviewed W3C at https://www.w3.org/wiki/Graceful_degradation_versus_progressive_enhancement
  2. What are Progressive Enhancements?
    Progressive Enchantment is establishing a basic web design that will function on all browsers and then adding in advanced functions that will work on compatible browsers.
  3. Why are Progressive Enhancements needed?
    Progressive Enchantments are needed to ensure users are able to use any displayed feature on their browser. It ensures that users with older or mobile browsers will not be offered functions they can not use while allowing more advanced browsers the ability to utilize these functions.
  4. Does the site's home page validate?
    The site's home page did not validate.
  5. Find any other page on the site. Does the second page validate?
    The second page I checked was the Progressive Enchantment page. This page returned no errors or warnings.
  6. Document how many validation errors and/or warnings may exist on each of the two pages you validate.
    There were only 2 errors returned, both of which were on the site's home page. Both errors were regarding obsolete attributes
  7. How would you rate the site's design, on a scale of 1(horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?
    I would give the site a 9. It is a site designed to give information and it looks the part. It has nice, simple formatting and is responsive other than some header menu items..
  8. How would you rate the site's usability on a scale of 1 (horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?
    It is a 9 out of 10 in usability as well. It is easy to navigate and provides many helpful links. The one thing that I did not like on the site is that there are some pages that are very long but there is no 'back to top' feature and the side menu is not fixed.
  9. Does the site meet its purpose?
    Very much so.
