I just love the text resizing - really subtle.

Also check out the search results - dark blue text on black - anyone got some nightvision googles I could borrow?

The big questions:

* Who did the TV3 site? (this Aussie company did the branding apparently)
* Was it a NZ firm?
* I don't want to shame anyone (well, maybe a bit) - but if they're locals I'll gladly send them my spare copy of 'Don't Make Me Think'.

I think Zef's right and we should send a web standards care package to CanWest's internal IT department. I can throw a copy of 'Cascading Style Sheets: Separating Content from Presentation'.

Calm down - I'm sure in our careers we've all done work we've less than proud of. As designers we face all sorts of external pressures on our work - from the client, the marketing company, the budget, the technology...

Rather than being confrontational see this as an opportunity to invite CanWest's IT Department to join our wider community - offer your help, advice, expertise...

Does anyone here personally know the web designers/developers inside CanWest? (I assume they're based in Auckland). Here's your opportunity to take the initiate and be a leader - invite them out for a coffee and talk about FTM, UPA, DINZ, W3C and accessibility.
