Are you a number six or a number eight?
Bill Myers
Are visitors to your web site seeing what you think they are seeing? Here's how to tell Do you remember taking the color blindness test? You know the one . . . the doctor shows you a picture composed of many small colored circles, and you tell what number you see within the colors. If you see the number eight you might have normal vision, but if you see the number 12, you might have some form of color blindness. It is interesting the way the test works. Two people can look at the same exact sheet of paper, and yet both can see something totally different - simply due to the colors used on the page. The same thing can happen on your web site. If you have not been careful with the colors used on your web pages, it is possible that some of those 100 million people affected by various degrees of color blindness may miss some or all the text on your pages. Which could cause serious problems, misunderstandings and even missed orders. To know for sure that all visitors can see important text on your web pages, try viewing your web page through a color blindness filter, which shows how those with color blindness will see your page. Viewing the test only takes a minute, and can really open your eyes to what your web site looks like. You can find a link to a free color blindness web page viewing filter in the first article linked below.
