Website Complaints!

Font Size and Colour
So, the new website was launched two days ago and some viewers with ageing eyes complained about the text font - just not enough contrast. I find that I use the Chrome and Edge browsers with a default 125% zoom as I'm no spring chicken!
Also, I'm just a simple programmer with absolutely no graphic design skills at all but I do know how to use Google and found ux movement's website
which has a very interesting article "Why You Should Never Use Pure Black for Text or Backgrounds". This article covers:
- Pure Black Text & Backgrounds
- High Contrast for Accessibility
- Balanced Contrast for Readability
It's well worth reading.
As a result the default font is now bigger and the colour darker.
