I am running a summer camp in the months of July and August to teach students ages 12 to 18 how to design HTML5 websites. Please let me know what you think!

As long as you are not too weird, it looks good to me.

I think it's terrible. I had to scroll left and right to see your site. Even when scrolled all the way to the left, part of the text was missing off the page, it looked like "gn up with a friend and get $25 off." Other pages had the same problem with the contents of the black band running off the left side of the page. Also the text would not re-size. That's a big no-no.

There is too much bad Web design in the world. Can't believe you want people to pay you $300 to teach them garbage.

No the instructors aren't weird. I could be doing an internship in San Diego but I figured I would stick around Fairfax for another summer. Also, the Fairfax kids need more creative technology skills than what almighty FCPS teaches them.

That is because your screen size is too small.

Is your screen size less than 11 inches?

Actually the screen is 1280 x 1024 and the actual size is irrelevant. But you should not design a web site for only a high-resolution screen.

Moreover, when the browser window is made smaller, all the content should still be visible by scrolling. For some reason I can only see all the content when the browser is maximized, and when made smaller it seems to slide off the screen -- can't even scroll to it.

We teach simple HTML5 manipulation and mostly front end stuff; a little dreamweaver, a little AJAX.

So, why does the text not re-size?

Yeah maybe I should be teaching simple html. But we're ahead of the curve on HTML5 so there will obviously need to be changes along the way as browsers make it standard. Thanks for your critique I am working on the automatic text resizing right now.

I like the site you have. Personally, I come from the old-school though of web development, as I like to actually do HTML using a plain old text editor.

Also, I once spent the summer in downtown San Diego. It is refreshing to see that you picked Fairfax to teach teens rather than beach coming Coronado Island on your off time.

Also by the way I was using IE8 to look for problems. But it had the same problem in Google Chrome. You should always check output in all major browsers and operating system. Even with the browser window maximized there is still a small amount of room on the horizontal scroll bar in at 1280 x 1024, 19" screen. Two-directional scrolling is considered undesirable.

Thank you for your kind words. We are planning to offer some free HTML5 clinics on Saturdays as well if you are interested.

I think if you need website design, you can find designer for example on freelance and hire he or she. In such case you will save some money.

Good afternoon. What exactly features do you want to implement on your site? There are so many different tools for website development nowadays, so you should choose software according to your needs. I can recommend good developers from Dteam company. They work with all modern technologies and can create any website for you. Here you can check details - link.
