  1. 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.

  6. 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. 🙏

  7. 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
