As a woman over 50... Lots of us don't quite have 20/20 eyesight any more. You might want to give a bit of thought to improving contrast ratio on your page :)

Home page has 32 WCAG "errors" not factoring in the poor contrast ratio. Seems harsh but I'm doing a lot of ADA/WCAG work lately and it's just something you can't "unsee" once you've been exposed to the guidelines.

The code errors themselves are minor, mostly missing alt tags and form labels. It would not take a lot of work to make the home page compliant, besides the color corrections which (always) present difficulty for the designers.

Thank you so much for this feedback. It's really helpful for us to know. If there are other easy things we could do to boost accessibility, please lmk.
