What were they thinking?

When they signed off this 'Check if ntl services are available in your area' webpage as being totally ready & user friendly for prospective new customers to use?

http://sales.ntl.com/newdesign/newin...e_intbroadband

*How hard* is it to see what you type in?

LMAO-I'd love to know who designed & checked that page prior to it going live!

*Webpage Designer*-"What do you think guv?"

*Webpage Designer's boss*-"Looks fine to me"

*Sigh*

as far as i can see the only thing that has changed is the colour of the text in the postcode box... is there anything else that i have missed?

Re: What were they thinking?

Never mind the font, I think a better priority would be for them to get the postcode checker sorted. Aparently I can't get broadband, despite having had it for a couple of years...

I think he meant that the colourscheme is functional.

I think it depends on your browser. Using safari, the box is white and text is black. Using IE (on a Mac), the box is blue, and the text white. Not very good contrast...
