Submitter’s comments: May I introduce BizFizz, a programme run by the Civic Trust.
This site fails both AccessColor and HTML validation (40 Errors) and looks pretty bad from the offset. There’s a lot of inconsistency in font size, colouring. and spacing.
My biggest complaint with this site is the quality compared to the Civic Trust’s other sites e.g. www.civictrust.org.uk, www.greenflagaward.org.uk, and www.made-in-britain.org.uk.
Redeeming factors do include labeling of PDF links and an actual title tag.
Vincent Flanders’ comments: Looks like the BizFizz folks need to look over the always-informative Jeffrey Veen’s Design for Startups presentation.
I was totally stunned to discover that “The latest Green Flag Award news” section of the GreenFlagAward web site passed AccessColor. When I manually checked it with Contrast Analyser, it failed 3/4 Luminosity tests and the Colour brightness/difference test. Hmm. I was right.
