Tyndale.ca gets a B+
A newly developed website (started October 2008) features Nick DeNardis on video doing live reviews of academic websites. Nick, a Web Developer from Wayne State University, has a keen eye for what students are looking for and reviews these websites from their perspective.
Last week I had submitted Tyndale’s website for review. On Friday Nick did a live review of www.tyndale.ca. Websites are scores in three areas – Visual, Information and Code. We scored an overall 88% (B+) with visual getting an 80%, information getting an 85% and code scoring a 99% – hey nobody is perfect 
As we embark on a website redesign project, Nick’s review will be quite helpful. Most of the negative comments he pointed out have already been identified as area to work on but it is nice to have them confirmed.
Watch the video below and then leave me a comment. What would you like to see changed on Tyndale’s website? Do you think Nick was wrong on any points? What did he miss?

Thanks Andy! I really like how Nick reviews websites with his 10 second test and then acting like a prospective student. Also, his review is easy to understand so you don’t have to to be a techie to follow along. Although I did get a bit lost in his review of your code but I do know that he was extremely impressed with it – way to go!
I agreed with his website and think that he made excellent points on areas we can improve on. I’m sure that we will touch on these later as we move further with the website revision project.

well been along time since coding a nice phone dialer. By the way, your phone extension was not added by myself, my computer was changed while I was gone. *snicker*
Site looks good. Nicks review seems pretty valid.
Nice to see some clean code. (only 2 small errors acording to w3c validator)
I’m assuming the alumni sub domain is down only temporarily?
Good use of lightbox.script.
