Design

I found the website design to be modern looking and easily accesible. I would rate it as 9 out of 10 as for educational type of websites. Not 10 out of 10 because of my personal color and design preferences. The nav element is very well organized with hyperlinks for easy access to any topic. The color preference is acceptable for educational source and accomodate with each other. Besides, the background colors are in harmony with text colors. The lack of media doesn’t disrtact from studying which is the main purpose of the website. W3schools uses basic font and emphasized text is highlighted.

Usability

In terms of usability the website is great! I would rate it 10 out of 10. It provides multiple tutorials, references, exercises and videos. The w3schools offers website creator tool that can be used for practicing and creating your own page. The website has dark mode which is very helpful for navigation during night time. The site can be translated to different languages that increases amount of users from all over the world. Besides, W3schools has a search bar which is a huuuge benefit in todays Google world! Moreover, the web page offers paid courses and Pro version that unlocks many more helpful materials and instructions. If you scroll down the page you will see all the important highlighted topics, search words and many many more. Such website would attract lots of users all over the world because of its great usability.

My thoughts

I think w3schools site absolutely meets its purpose. Honestly the more I scrolled the website the more excited i got as it seems to have answers to all the questions a web developer may have. It is some sort of a Google for an IT learner. Besides, it offers lots of practicing tools which is important for Website coding. I would definitely recommend this website to my classmates and anyone who is interested in the sphere.
