When looking at the website I found the following accessibility issues:
Perceivable -- People with certain disabilities would have trouble hearing the music playing in the background, seeing the video, hearing the video, and the print throughout the whole website is hard to read because it is small and the print color and background color are so similar.
Operable -- People using text readers (if they were visually impaired) wouldn't be able to use the links very easily because the links don't give any information about what they are except for the address.
Understandable -- The website is fairly straight forward and clear, however there are a lot of flashing and scrolling items that are sort of distracting and make the site confusing for a novice internet user.
Robust -- After trying to access the website from my phone I quickly learned that at the very least smartphones do not have access to this website.
After using the "Wave" website to check for accessibility errors I found that the marquee is problem because assistive technology like a text reader wouldn't be able to read the scrolling text. The table right above the "Mission Possible" image has no header, making the information in the table confusing when read via text reader. And there are several images of text used as titles/headers throughout the page. With no alternate text with these images a text reader would be unable to read these.
I tried to use the Cynthia site to check for accessibility errors but received a "failed automated verification" message several times when I tried. I don't know if I was doing something wrong or if the website was having technical difficulties.
