Submitter’s comments: My wife and I just finished watching tonight’s episode Extreme Makeover Home Edition and tonight’s episode involved the Freedom Hills Therapeutic Riding Program.
After the show, I was curious to see if they had a web site, and yes, they do. However, on their main page, they’ve got text that runs right over a small collage of photos, which naturally fouls up the contrast. Not to mention, I’m sure the text over the right end of everything in the navigation column likely wouldn’t pass muster with your contrast analyzer, either.
In all fairness, looking around the rest of the site, there are some things they did right, but letting the text run over the photo collage on the homepage is a big no-no.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: This is such an obvious mistake that you wonder how they didn’t see it. Did they look at the home page? I ran the home page through the nifty utility BrowserCam to grab screen shots on different systems and browsers. It looks like the problem shows up in every example. It’s interesting that there are “problems” with the site’s code under Safari, which caused BrowserCam to blow up.
