Thanks. And just to be clear, I DID NOT create this site. I am simply
conducting the audit, months after the fact. I would have created a
totally different and accessible site. {just wanted to save my reputation
there!}

Cheers,

Aside from the Flash content...
That top banner (tagline.gif) doesn't seem to have any alt text, and the
contrast on the left hand side is a little low with that yellow text on
a light blue background. I can see that you gave it a drop shadow but
the word "USE" is hard to see.

Now that I look at them, the other four images below have alt tags that
say "website content elements" which is not very evocative... you could
write a tag that tells what's in the picture.

Hope that helps...
