Better Readability at the Read Tuesday Website?

It's going to be HUGE!

It’s going to be HUGE!

For those of you who expressed opinions of the color scheme at the Read Tuesday website, thank you. A common concern was readability. I have tried to improve this without making any drastic changes.

I changed the background to white and the body text to black. I believe it’s more readable now. Please let me know what you think.

Read Tuesday: It’s going to be HUGE!

Give the gift of reading this holiday season.

  1. Change is good. Remember, white on black is positively awful for older readers – I could locate the scientific studies if I tried.

    And we older folk buy lots of books – we have leisure time and disposable income.

    Good luck with the changes – and the website.

    I’m excited for the project, and watching it for next year.

    • It should show as black on white now. It was yellow on black (and blue on black in places), which was hard on my eyes, too. 🙂 Hopefully, it will grow and improve each year.

      Kindly,
      Chris
