#web-designer — Public Fediverse posts

One #accessibility issue I mention frequently is web designers, presumably for aesthetic reasons, making low-contrast colour choices. It also frequently goes along with selecting a #font so small that only people with excellent vision (and no #presbyopia) can read them, even if the #contrast were higher.

Here's an example. I'm not pointing out the software in question, even though you could identify it easily, because this isn't a dunk on that project, specifically.

This is the reference #documentation for an API, a small excerpt from the navigation links that run down a column on the left side of the page. The #text is darkish #grey on a lighter grey background. The contrast is terrible, particularly ignoring the highlighted entry because that's bolded as the current selection.

If you have #cataracts or any other #vision problem, you're going to have trouble with this. But it gets worse.

That text is 7 pixels high. On my monitors, it's 3 mm high. Ridiculous. Note that if you have fine motor-control problems or use alternative input devices, these are also extremely difficult to click on.

Here's the kicker: for this site, I have Firefox set to #scale the text up to 133%. That 7 pixels / 3 mm is *after* enlarging it.

#Web folks, please try to remember that not everyone is a twenty-something able-bodied person with zero accessibility issues.

Liebe #WebDeveloper, #WebDesigner und alle, die sich mit der Planung und Pflege von Webseiten beschäftigen. Warum ein Blog oder News-Bereich auf eine Seite setzen, wenn Besucher keine Möglichkeit haben, neue Inhalte zu abonnieren? Bitte baut #RSS ein oder zumindest einen regelmäßigen Newsletter! Kein Mensch kann ständig unzählige Webseiten manuell auf neue Inhalte prüfen. 🙏

Wer am heutigen Samstag ein #stellenangebot nach dem anderen erfolglos durchgeht, sollte vielleicht die Suche rin wenig ändern ... ich wollte mir etwas im Quellcode eines Mitbewerbers (von einem meiner Kunden) ansehen, als ich das hier sah 🥰 und tatsächlich, man voll sollte vielleicht Stellenangebote dort inserieren, wo die Zielgruppe die "professionellste" ist 🍀
Schönes Wochenende euch allen 🙏#webdesigner #stellenanzeigenfromhell #webdeveloper #tolleidee

Ça y est, j'ai enfin reçu mes documents de communication ! Une nouvelle aventure commence ! 🐱🐶🐰🐔

Pour le lancemt de ma micro-entreprise, j'ai parié sur une #communication #alternative et de proximité.
Tout est fait main avec des logiciels #libres (#Gimp, #Inkscape, #Scribus), garanti sans #IA. Même le site est codé maison en #html / #css.
#Mastodon est mon réseau social principal.

Alors oui, ça pourrait être plus joli, plus complexe, plus abouti, plus rapide, car je ne suis ni #graphiste, ni #webdesigner, ni développeuse. Mais c'est le reflet de mon #engagement, et j'apprends en chemin.

Aidez-moi à le porter, prouvez-moi que ça peut marcher! 🫶 #Sobriété

#Web #usability and #accessibility ...

This is from crimethinc.com, but I'm not trying to pick particularly on them. There are many, many, many sites just as bad or worse.

This is a screenshot from an article on their site today, rendered in Firefox (Linux).

See the hair-thin font? See the fact that it's light grey on a white background? There's virtually no contrast between the text and the background.

This is an accessibility nightmare for those with any sort of vision problem. Picking the colour out of the screenshot (I didn't look at the CSS), it appears the text is basically 45% grey. This is ludicrous.

If the font face had some heft, it might be still be half-assed readable with contrast this low.

But as is... If I were to take my contacts out, I wouldn't even be able to tell that this screenshot *had* any of the normal-sized text in it, much less be able to read any of it.

Web designers, I beg you: please consider more than the appearance of what you're creating when you're making design choices.

Remember that not everyone is a 20- or 30-something with near-perfect vision.

Remember that people have cataracts or other types of eye cloudiness which necessitate high-contrast text to be able to read, even if they scale the fonts up by a huge amount.

Remember that vision degrades naturally in people in many ways other than "just wear glasses" can fix.
