I went to Wix's contact page, and although the main homepage is in
HTML, the contact page is in Flash, so I can't access it.
This is illegal, because of the ruling by the Department of Justice, in 2010.
This ruling has been mentioned by me, on other threads.
It states, that the ADA applies to Websites.
Blessings, Joshua
