Design of HTMLintro.com

fish · 06-19-2005, 03:31 PM

I just designed HTMLintro.com and began writing a small tutorial to go with it. What are your thoughts on the design and/or content?

Edit: Can a mod move this to the Web Design Reviews please?

I like your idea to make it light and not add much noise for the actual tutorial. I do find the text snippets on each page to be far too short though. Two or even three pages could be added to one. And as for the content:

You tell the user they will learn proper HTML. For starters, that very site is not properly coded. The <b> element is deprecated, <hx> tags should be used for headings and tables are only suggested for tabular data; to mention a few things where it is not proper.

The text itself also have several mistakes. Every website aint built with HTML (XML/XSL is for instance a growing format), every HTML page should begin with a doctype declaration (not a HTML tag), in plain old HTML every tag does not need closure (for instance <br> which needs it in XHTML) to mention some that i noticed.

It could use a TOC or sitemap.
