The answers

Give yourself a point for each of these that you spotted:

    • Most of the images have no alternative text – ok when the pictures are for decoration only but not all of the images are for decoration
    • Poor colour contrast throughout the site
    • Using italics for key site content such as menu items
    • Embedded video with no captions
    • No accessibility statement on the site
    • Serif font is hard to read
    • Rolling text which is impossible to read.  Yuck!!
    • Really bad graph where colour is used to provide meaning (with no alternative) and graph has really bad labels and no alt tag
    • Links which provide no information about where they link to and are repeated (bad for screen readers – ‘click here’)
    • Data used without any sort of reference to where the data came from
    • Distracting backgrounds
    • Some URLs don’t describe what’s in the page/location ie ‘sample-page’
    • Sometimes heading levels used in wrong order
    • Poorly written content – badly structured, unclear with typos
    • All caps text is hard to read
    • Table used for image layout
    • Responsiveness is broken
    • Messages in red that shout at users
    • Poor navigation
    • Endlessly looping animation
    • Skip to content functionality not available for keyboard navigation

There are likely others…. a bonus point for each!
