I thought I would take the time to make you aware of some problems with your website.
The site does not communicate to Mac users at all. In Safari 2, the most common MacOSX browser, none of the navigation bars (left or top) appear at all. On IE5, the most common browser for MacOS9 users, navigating to your site brings up a page of code - no site. On Mozilla, a common open source browser recommended as the best browser available in last week's Sydney Morning Herald, the navigation also does not work.
These problems would be serious for any website, but for the Australian Communications Authority I would have thought they were disastrous.
If you are interested I can make recommendations on how to make your site standards compliant across the entire range of browsers, with simple xhtml and css coding. The Sydney Morning Herald (www.smh.com.au) and The Age (www.theage.com.au) have recently converted their sites to this approach, which is widely recognised as the future of the web. You can cut the size of your pages in half (faster site loads and less server demand) and make the site compatible to ALL users, not just a percentage.
My company, Universal Head, has ten years experience in design and specialises in online communications. I would be happy to discuss the possibilities with you further.
Best regards
Peter Gifford
