I’m so glad Peri mentioned ADA. A minor change in how you characterize your difficulty might have an impact.
Recognizing that we are not talking about a government agency or a governnent funded organization, it may be nonetheless illustrative to note that Federal agencies have website guidelines that incorporate accessibility criteria so that those who cannot fully access due to disabilities can use their websites. But that information plus mention of the ADA might provide incentive for them to fix their site. If you have time for research, see if anyone has sued about websites under the ADA. - Mark Sent from my Fuel Cell powered iPhone > On Jun 8, 2021, at 12:41 PM, Peri Hartman via EV <[email protected]> wrote: > > In the name of aesthetics, so many web designers choose color combinations > that look pretty but are sometimes illegible.
