My thanks to Tyic.com for introducing me to Sitescore.  It’s a great free tool that gives your feedback on the marketing, design, accessibility, experience and user ratings for any given site.  Taking all of those elements into consideration, they then give you an overall rating 1-10.
I have not spent a great deal of time over there yet.  But just in playing with the home page of my web design site, DW Web Solutions.  I’m feeling pretty good!  Other than our huge lacking in backlinks and popularity…which I don’t take personally as the site has only been live for 5 days…I’m fairly happen with their opinion!  Yes, that’s right I’m proud of my 6.6
