After looking at criteria on how to evalutate websites we were asked to look at some web development tools. There were a number of different tools that evaluate different aspects of websites.
I decided to look at the 3 different tools. These were the CSS validator, XHTML validator and Wave (which is a web accessability evaluating tool). I then took the four charity websites we looked at the previous week and apply these tools to the websites. You can view the three tools here:
CSS Validator
XHTML Validator
Wave
The following shows the results that the four websites got from the three tools:
Blue Flag - Valid CSS, 15 XHTML Errors and 0 Web Accessability Errors
National Coastwatch - Valid CSS, 86 XHTML Errors, 9 Web Accessability Errors
RNLI - 14 CSS Errors, 14 XHTML Errors, 1 Web Accessability Error
Surfers Against - 9 CSS Errors, 25 XHTML Errors, 9 Web Accessability Errors
As you can see from the results, each website had problems. I think this goes to show that code validity and web accessability are not a priority for these charity websites.
