    Looking good, but if you are trying to teach people to make web sites, you gonna have to do a little better. I like ONLINE CODE TESTING LAB. Also, try to make smaller pages, and to put some adsense code in it.

    cheers

    Try adding a logo design in the header instead of just text. I didn't realize it was your site's name at first..

    Dude. 89 errors on validation. Not a good seller. I like your Idea and design. I don't remark on colors. Thats personal. looks to me than it could be xhtml strict with a little work. Might be a selling point.

    Good luck
    Cheers

    I would find a nice logo, but the content is great...

    I like the first page, good old "Hello World!"

    Oh the irony. The sites not bad, it's just funny that your soliciting advice. The content would be nice for beginners. Good work on the explanation.

    I like the idea and the layout, It is very clean. I learned from resources like yours over the years. I also like the colors. IT LOOKS GREAT

    I think you need an advanced section on W3C validation, image optimisation and separating style from content using CSS - at least this should save us from a few more horrible early 1990's style sites (scuse my web snobbery!).

    The site itself is well laid out and gives great opportunity for monetisation if you choose to go that route (affiliate links for hosting and domains etc...)

    Hey, I think you have a good concept for new begginners who want to learn the basic HTML skill, I think you should have a few camstasia videos as tutorials which would be really effective. I think you should have a little bit of colour to get more interest... Look forward to the developments you do :)

    Kind Regards

    It looks kinda good, but I think you will have to turn the design up a bit, if you teach peoplehow to build a website you should have a site thats top of the line.

    I like your site. With all big projects there are little bugs. There's one little bug on lesson 6:
    "LESSON 7 - HTML linking" <-- this link reloaded lesson 6

    I looked at lesson 7 by guessing the URL; I clcked a link there,,, new window,,, closing window and exited site. (maybe page 7 is not ready).

    Overall I like the intuitive nature of the site, and I think you developed a very easy-to-underatand way of explaining things. It seems like a very good resource for newbs or even for brushing up on basics. (I had forgot the strike tag) Nice site!

    i think you are doing a nice job . yes, it would be a good idea to fix the validation errors , but otherwise i see only positive things about the site .
    However , i dont like the domain name ... it would take you ages to make a search engine believe and trust you to be a authoritative site , it seems so spammy .
