Today’s Tip:
If you are linking to a PDF or a document that you don’t know what is going to happen when they click the link always make sure to signify what type of file they are clicking on. Regular HTML web pages open the browser, other files you cannot guarantee how they are going to open or what the user is going to see. Letting them know up front will prepare them for the experience after the click.

This was a great review. I agree with everything you said. You were so right in fact about this site receiving an A that it’s actually being nominated for a Webby award this year lol.

I think you gave them way too high a score for all their coding issues. Especially when you compare this sites coding and design flaws with others that received lower scores.

@Joe Thanks for pointing that out. I think I would have given them a little bit lower but it was not horrendous.
