Hi

I totally agree with that, another problem of said company (and I am
sure most companies), is that a certificate is provided at a certain
date, and when it's expired, no one bothers to remove it from their
website.
However, there are regulations in some countries now that require some
sort of web certification, however silly that is really.
I much more respect a company that puts a disclaimer saying it is
aware of accessibility issues, and has a dedicated accessibility
contact email, one which is actually monitorred. ;)
Cheers
