What is the site's URL?
http://medium.com
Why is it your favorite?
I checked out a few different sites, like the W3c, and wanted to try a different site for the review. I don't know if it is my 'favorite' site because there are so many sites available on this topic, however, I found useful information on the site and the contents.
Does the site's home page validate?
No, the html in the file did not validate, however, the css did validate
Find any other page on the site. Does the second page validate?
No, neither of them validated(HTML and CSS)
Document how many validation errors and/or warnings may exist on each of the two pages you validate.
The home page validation found 107 errors and 14 warnings
How would you rate the site's design, on a scale of 1(horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?
6 I believe that the design is rather bland and more focus is on the content. More images, or color, or something...
How would you rate the site's usability on a scale of 1 (horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?
8 The links and the flow is there that takes you where you want to navigate to and back. I found it easy to view.
Does the site meet its purpose?
Even though the design needs help(who am I to judge...as least not yet...) I believe it meets the purpose of offering sound content.
