Grand Accessibility fails

I’m thinking of creating a permanent Web Design Fails section in my blog. After last weeks Grand Usability Fail of major Belgian ISP Belgacom, I come back with something slightly different.

This morning I run into the Greek DesignMag. The layout was generally pretty cool, but I had a comment regarding the readability of the links and decided to tweet my remark to the person I thought designed it. He was actually an editor in the magazine, and pointed me to the agency that made it. Now, when you see a nice client work layout, you do expect some standard in its creators’ home. Surprise:

As you will see for yourselves if you visit the website, there’s a lovely (sic) flash animation in the background, that 90% of the time has a same or a very similar colour to the font. Contrast = 0. And all I’m wondering is how can these people get clients.
