Yes, at least if that is what you get from a "professional design firm" 
because I can assure you that the used color for text is hard, if not 
impossible to read for a large group of people.

Not to mention text like:

"Can a browser really make the Web better?
Try Firefox and see for yourself. Learn more."

because there is not a single browser that can make the web 'better'. 
In fact you sometimes /have/ to visit certain web sites with MSIE simply 
because they don't work with Firefox (so much for making the web better).
