1. Things that are wrong with the new Oxford web site http://www.ox.ac.uk/
Breaking OSM licence: http://www.ox.ac.uk/applications/dynamic/map.rm?postcode=OX1+3JP&location=St%20John%27s%20College&id=483 - no attribution
http://www.ox.ac.uk/applications/dynamic/map.rm?postcode=OX1+3JP&location=Copyright%20Violation&id=483 - widdyable
- Can't get to full form for contact search except by doing a simple search for "people"
- Department/college A-Z: have to guess the letter of the college you want rather than being able to browse them all
- 'This is Oxford' on the home page - what on earth is this for? What sort of information am I expecting to see?
- pages aren't valid xhtml
- CSS is invalid too
- no Webmail link
having alt="" might satisfy an automated accessibility check but isn't very helpful for disabled users looking at images.
- 'news' is difficult to find from front page
- New trendy web site, and the front page is *more* boring than the old site - looks like a holding page for a typosqatted domain
- all the links on the front page point to 'unfriendly' coldfusion URLs (then rewrite to 'friendly' URLs)
Many many broken links - for an illustration of just how emabarrassing this is, see http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=university+of+oxford&meta=&btnG=Google+Search
- on a 1024x768 screen, the A-Z of colleges boxes take up so much space that you can't see the results underneath without scrolling
- if you turn off Javascript, the headings on the home page pop up a big picture you cannot remove
