Sounds like a good one for Web Pages That Suck.

As you indicate, even the HTML is way off. The W3C validator finds 125 HTML
errors, plus many warnings. Term 1 fail!

Wow - where do I even begin to start with this mess. I'm a sighted
user mainly using Chromevox for learning and testing, and it wasn't at
all accessible. I did eventually manage to get to the results, but it
required endless tabbing, and the results are not presented as a list.
Not only is there no use of even the most basic ARIA accessibility
markup, there isn't even the most basic correct use of HTML tags,
markup and landmarks. Literally everything is wrong with this page,
not just from an accessibility viewpoint but also the encoding is
wrong, the developers have no clue how to optimize, the markup is
appalling - well, I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions from the
test report results below, but bearing in mind this won Dragons Den
funding, I'll bet the site developers charged tens of thousands.
ALL pages fail on almost all basic accessibility checks at
http://try.powermapper.com/Reports/2c6d61ee-683d-47f1-b825-60dc8d6473eb/report/map.ACC.htm.
And according to accessibility guideline checker http://achecker.ca,
that one menu page you mentioned has 499 definite problems and 1032
potential problems.
The offficial W3 validator shows 65 hard fail errors.

It also has a mobile version of the site, but again this fails and is
a navigation nightmare.
Have a try if you have any more luck with this - I didn't get far on Chromevox.
