Looking for blind/visually impaired people who want to give feedback on a Dutch website. (self.Blind)
submitted by KawaiiPotatina
Hello everyone! I'm a hobbyist web designer and I started a company with some friends a few months ago. We organise events related to (medicinal) cannabis use and write articles to answer people their questions about cannabis. I already believe accessibility is very important and because of the medicinal aspect of our events we'd be extremely ignorant if we didn't include people who are differently abled.
Therefore I am here! I wondered if there are any visually impaired or blind people on here that would like to have a go at our website. We're based in the Netherlands so our website is entirely in Dutch. It'd be amazing if there are Dutch people here that can give feedback, but I'm happy with anyone that can give me any tips. I'd like to take all feedback and see what I can do to make it easier to access or to make it easier to navigate using a magnifier or screen reading software.
I already tried as much as I could, adding descriptions to pictures and such, but I'm sure I probably forgot to add some important things. Anyways, our website is: $1. Thank you for your help!

Bug in high contrast you can't see photos

Options for high contrast, bigger text and the colour scheme could be a bit more user assessable like black and white

Thanks for the tips! I didn't think about that. I found a wordpress-plugin that adds two buttons to the side of the screen. One button to increase the size of the text and one button for a high contrast. Is the website easier to access now?

You have nailed the contrast feature but the bigger text needs to make the text alot bigger
Another tip put an assessability hyperlink in the top right hand corner that takes you to a section of the website were you can select options for accessibility for the whole website because those buttons are quite annoying be there all the time

I searched for other accessibility plugins I could use, I'm shocked how many of them are bad.. I found one that seemed okay, so I added it to the website. It's a button you can toggle with a menu with several options. About the high contrast not showing pictures; It's not something I can change.. I have no idea how to code my website to be contrasted, so I simply have to rely on the plugin doing it's job.
If I can find a plugin that enables me to add high contrast/bigger size text/grayscale and such to a page on my website, I'll try to do that instead!
