: Evaluate someone's web design level skill I am not sure if this belongs here and I apologise if it does not. What I would like to know is if there is a test of sorts that can check someone's

I think it depends on what capacity this person will be working with/for you in the future. If you are hiring him/her in a professional setting, test them in a way that gives them as realistic an outlook as possible - you should definitely create your own test.

For instance, if your consultancy builds static sites from PNG designs, have him/her turn an image into a functional web page by any means necessary. If they lean on Dreamweaver or another tool (assuming you're looking for hand-written ability) you'll find out pretty quickly.

If your aim is to teach and evaluate students, your end goals may be more in tune with encouraging best practices rather than a fully-functional product. If that's what you're going for, have them use the W3C validators for XHTML and CSS, as well as something to verify scripts (Chrome console, Firebug, etc.)

Simply looking at a page that they built should tell you all that you need to know. See how it looks, how easy it is to use and how many features there are.

However, having a program look through someone's code isn't going to determine their design competency. Design is based on what a human thinks about it and interaction - if it is aesthetically pleasing or not, whether the features work or how complex they might be.
