Well, $7 million is brilliant for any designer. You are right… I see about $40,000 of actual work done there. Maybe less. I have some friends at University who could do better… and they probably would have done it for a class project.

To the guy who landed this gig, BRAVO! That’s a ton of profit. Just wonder if the firm hired was related to an MP, eh?

You are right. The more you look at what they have got for the money the more incredible it is.

The fact that it isn’t even complying with today’s standards, especially for accessibility is appalling. Parliament should be asking for their money back!

That’s bad and what’s more for that money you’d think that it would be:
tableless and nice code (which it isn’t!)

valid html (which it isn’t: http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.parliament.uk%2F)

and actually worse it could well be breaking the disability discrimination act!!!!!!!

missing alt and label tags on a site like that is pretty criminal…
