I've been in contact with the company off line. They have improved the site and I'll be working with them to ensure their Web site is fully complaint moving forward. @brian True but there is also so many other benefits for having an accessible site.

It brilliant to see comments, based on reason, taken with the correct pinch of salt rather than refuted and expelled as perceived as possible insult. Bulaidh bós. I too received the same [although verbal] compliments once! I might add that you are in good hands, those of Adrian [and the segala team - see their accessibility cert at the bottom of my web page]. Looking forward to Aido's review. slán agus beannacht peter @Grace Sutton

well done Grace. It brilliant to see comments, based on reason, taken with the correct pinch of salt rather than refuted and expelled as perceived as possible insult. Bulaidh bós. I too received the same [although verbal] compliments once!

Looking forward to Aido’s review.

We were working on a redesign at the time that your review happened, and I was wondering now that this redesign is up would you be able to review it again? I have included your recommendations as well and I look forward to hear how you feel we have implemented these changes across the site and any further changes you feel need to be made to make this site as accessible as possible.

Converting online bank statements from HTML to PDF probably seemed like a "nice have" from a visual perspective. My own CC company provides you with the ability to download a CSV and text version.

(i mean, it looks to me like someone actually sat down with Dreamweaver, as you say, and --shock-- built this thing from scratch.) we really are still cavemen in Ireland when it comes to web development. with one obvious exception being Segala, of course. Go Heinz beans!! i think you’re being a tiny bit harsh here. i mean it looks good and it works, far as I can see.
