I didn't say they weren't doing their best. And what I said doesn't come remotely close to slander. Putting aside the fact that slander is spoken defamation, not written, I wasn't talking specifically about them. I was using this situation to comment on the common misjudgement of developers and engineers who erroneously believe they are well suited to also take on the job of professional website design.

I have no way way of knowing for a fact what the circumstances are behind this specific website, but it certainly has all the hallmarks of the scenario I described. This site was clearly not designed by someone who understands how to efficiently and effectively create an educational website intended to onboard new users to an unfamiliar platform.

It's not a personal insult, and it's not a knowing lie about a particular person intended to defame. So, it's neither slander, nor libel (written defamation). It's a speculative commentary on the trend of developers believing they are suited to crank out effective educational websites.
