How would you rate the site's design, on a scale of (horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?

I rate the site's design a 7. I like the spacing and examples of code. The things I don't like: Is the astronaut a squirrel? Do squirrels or space have anything to do with the topic of coding? My eyes are overwhelmed with the color of CSS, bright yellow. I'm disappointed that a site is dedicated to teaching HTML, but doesn't have a clean page without errors at W3C. "W3" is in the website's name but when I searched "validate", "validator" and "W3c", it yeilded no results on the site. Sometimes the search function had errors and didn't yield anything on the site or the web.

How would you rate the site's usability on a scale of 1 (horrible) to 10 (fantastic)? Why?

I rate the rate the site's usability a 8. It has useful information I can use right now. The words are easy to read (size and color) and defined so I could have a very basic understanding of the topics. It has example boxes to try right now, search boxes and "Not Sure Where To Begin" below the main search box. I'm disappointed the search isn't better, as mentioned above.

Does the site meet its purpose?

Yes, the site meets the purpose, "to teach various types of coding". The quizzes and interactive boxes are a nice touch and invites the user to interact instead of all words which can be boring.
