Linux Chrome 65.0.3315.3. Resolution 2560x1440. Looks like it just gets bigger the larger the view width `font-size: 1.7vw;` Probably want to constrain that. See https://i.imgur.com/erOZkOT.png

Hey there, much appreciate the info/specs, and screenshot.

The site was designed using vw-sized fonts to maintain the same user experience no matter their resolution. But for really large monitors/resolutions, it can be jarring when users expect to see tiny fonts and need to scale them up. That said, we will add some CSS for larger monitors to address this, but it's a hack, as vw-width is true to the original design.

Steve, I'm no kind of expert on how to deliver web pages.

But you're being a bit obtuse. Several people here have complained about the typeface being huge and they're right. On my browser (Firefox Windows desktop), it's huge, like 45 or 50 points. And I couldn't reduce it by changing the zoom using the control-scroll wheel.

It was so annoying that I just closed the window. If you are interested in getting your message across to me personally, you're going to have to do it without forcing me to read it in fifty-point type.

I think the real issue here is that zooming does not fix it. I can understand most people don't test every screen size (although we test loads) and would be happy to zoom out for some pages. What I ended up doing was using dev tools to switch to a normal size which was kinda annoying.

Hey guys, apologies for taking a bit: we've been hard at work! Speaking of which, we made some modifications to our site. How does the display look now on your ends?
