Website Coding
Website Review of freecodecamp.org
Since the part of the website that I’m viewing is only for the purpose of talking about progressive enhancement, it is easy to use and navigate. At the top of the page there are only four things besides the logo that are of interest. A little search bar off to the left is there for searching tutorials, preumably about coding. On the right there is a forum button and a donate button, and below all of these, there is a link to sign you up for a free coding curriculum. The rest of the content is centered on the page using the jello design. It works really well with this website because the lines are nicely spaces and there is an easy-to-read font, so the short lines of text make it even easier to read. The hanging sign-up link kind of limits the viewing space of the page, but since everything else makes it easy to read, this detail is not much of a hinderance.
Validaiton of the page produced 93 errors/warnings, but almost half of the list is just warnings.
Basically, progressive enhancement is important so everyone can view your webpage. People with newer browsers get to see the full design of the webpage as it was intended, but people with older browsers can still use the webpage even if they don’t see some of the designs. Therefore, progressive enhancement gives everyone access to the webpage while giving people with newer browsers a more enhanced version of your website.
