“Pay us to validate and fix your website”
Unfortunately when it comes to practicing what you preach some companies just don’t quite get it.
A recent site that appeared on a few CSS showcases was webdesignvalidation.com which within a few seconds you can recognise that it is a site that validates and corrects your website for you (apparently for free and for a cost).
The problem is that right off the bat they say “site doesn’t look the same on all browsers or on other computers.” which leads me right to the ‘validate this website’ in my tool bar - the results are good - the site is valid but what about those other browsers?
Well… total fail in IE6 due to an absolute overkill use of transparent PNGs.
Another ‘unfortunately’ comes when I wanted to send them an email to let them know that it falls flat in IE6 but couldn’t find any contact forms or details bar the “Request a Validation” form.
Please, if this is your site, check it in IE6!
Little bit of JavaScript and CSS would nicely sort this so it is at least readable.
