Website Complaints!

Simon Brown • January 11, 2020

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.
