Evaluation: Color is the big issue for this page and may require a color makeover. This page also has HTML header issues.
2007 Summary
Problems Found:
Checkpoint D, styles: The page reads well when CSS is disabled. Some confusion is introduced, however, because the graphic headings for the sections on "Accreditations," "Building on Excellence" and "News and Events" become separated from the content for those sections; also with CSS disabled, and images, turned off, there is no text equivalent for these images, and no headings are used to define these sections.
Using the test user style sheet caused the page to be unreadable.
Evaluation: Adjusting the CSS or introducing headings may better define the three main sections of the page.
