Hello
Hi
I work for e-consultancy.com the UK's largest community for web marketing and e-commerce proffesionals. Keen to find out more and spread the word on uasbility and accessibilty.
If anyone has any good content we'd be happy to publish it to our community (www.e-consultancy.com). Just e-mail me.
We also offer training on among other this Usability and Accessibility.
Thanks and see you around soon
Craig

I don't wish to appear rude, but I find it a bit rich that you're offering training on accessibility, when your own home page has 110 validation errors.
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.e-consultancy.com%2F
Your site also appears to be a fixed-width layout and uses tables for layout, and while neither of which are a capital crime, they aren't indicative of a web design professional.
Look at http://www.stuffandnonsense.co.uk/ or some of the designs on http://www.csszengarden.com
Having said that, if you're here to LEARN, then you're welcome. But pitching yourself as experts (apologies if I read the intro wrong) when your site doesn't appear to match up to it isn't likely to impress anyone.
If I've misunderstood your introduction pitch then you have my heartfelt apologies.

Looking at the BBC home page, they have a fixed width (770px, I think). I guess it is professionally written - even though it is written in HTML 4.01 transitional - and doesn't validate at that. Just because a website uses fixed width, doesn't smack of lack of professionalism, IMHO. Looking at just some "blue chips", BP, GlaxoSmithKline, and Marks and Spencer also have fixed-width websites. It is still very common to do so. Mind you, it also seems to be very common for such major sites not to validate - even on the home page. I agree non validation does not look good for a consultancy organization - or the use of tables for layout..

I think you did a little!
Our site is about to relaunch (hopefully tomorrow) and will show considerable improvement I hope. The point is a valid one however and proves the difficulty many of us have in delivering what we believe to be right Vs commercial and time restraints.
On the training front if I can clarify - we are a community for on-line marketing profesionals and just facilitate training for our users using other specialists. Although the name is a little misleading we don't generally provide consultancy ourselves or claim that we are experts in any one particular field.
What we do want to do is promote Usability best practice to our community and thats why I'm on this forum - to find out more.

Like I've said in a pm to cragster, I apologise. He accepts the validity point, and I accpet I was rude and probably didn't give them the benefit of the doubt, for which I'm sorry. I was obviously just having a bad day 
Welcome to the forum, hope you learn lots of accessibility and usability goodness and don't forget to share your knowledge with us too.

Hi Craig, e-consultancy are offering a Usability+Accessibility supplier showcase on the 26th. We think we're going to send one of our sales guys along (to check out the competition 
) but do you think there's anything there to me (as a developer interested in accessibility) would get any use from?Web Developer, Kyan

Not been myself but the format is usually 30 min presentations from each supplier. They can vary as it depends on the angle they want to take. Some just outline services or capabilities (which is often dull) while others choose to take it as an opportunity for some thought leadership (which is usually interesting). My collegue Peter@e-consultancy.com will know more as he's running this event.
