Patrice.. thank you for walking us all through the changes and being our advocate to the development team. I’ve been in your shoes and I do not envy your position. Change is hard! It’s great that the font issue is at the top of the list. Depending on how the site is coded may not be as simple to adjust as we all hope but it’s great to know the team is working it. One suggestion that may help the developers is to follow a 508 compliant color scheme and font size. 508 is a federal government requirement for systems to make them easily accessible for all users. There are many free site checkers that are available to check color contrast, font size etc... that will provide a lot of good feedback to the development team. As my eye doctor likes to remind me, my eyes are not “old” but rather “very experienced” and I see things much differently then I did decades ago. The site checkers help those with less experienced eyes with concrete suggestions to design sites that support everyone.
