The article I read this week covers accessibility on the web – it can be found here . This is something that people have written about many times and this article doesn’t cover anything new or interesting. It’s a good recap of things everyone else has already said but it doesn’t say anything different. That’s a huge issue – people rewrite the same article for clicks.
In fact, I’d say this article doesn’t take its own advice. The font is kinda hard to read. The letters are spaced slightly too far apart and it’s difficult to read. The blue they use in the subtitle is too light to efficently read against a white background. It makes them look untrustworthy. While the writer typically doesn’t choose how a website is structured, it doesn’t seem to be written as a passive aggressive jab at the UX designers, so it appears that the writer really doesn’t care what they’re saying. This brings us back to the point of writing an article just for clicks. They’re not listening and they’re not critiquing the faults on their own website.
