(One day of practice, one day does not practice ten days.)

Daily

#xv27 FST Legs wed, heavy / day off / Week later, walked 30 minutes to get truck 90F, occasional shade, boon hat; t-nation has a page on ‘myfacia stretching’ to do before varied different sessions, idk if it’s for everything but definitely going to do it before benching day; considering revamping all slow-twitch w lite volume sets, considering tanning for vitamin D

#xv28 / day off /

#xv29 fri trying to optimize anything back muscle related by utilizing medium/average weight, paces the entire session; after a week off traps and biceps had a good session

#xv30 sat starting to realize that my left flatfoot is from habit, standing on a bar and stretching the top/bottom improved my walk and all; could be the amino/beet juice, but the horizon press was good; side bends w plates dropping straight down and up by moving hip some; there’s a machine that looks like a mule kick, very difficult, really heats up temp/heart; lex ext worst but only because quads are quick flexed when walking thus volume sets are easier (and lite are safer for knee); thighs leg-curl is still harder than expected but were better with a first rep flex and need to yt the right bench position; heel raise best doing slow reps but since we walk on heels would be better with lite volume supersets; parallel bar knee raises meh, rev pulldown should’ve been the crunch chair slow reps; no cooldown crazy long session of slow reps empty gym zoned out;

Creating Online Environments That Work Well For Older Users

Creating Online Environments That Work Well For Older Users

Barry Rueger

2019-11-04T13:00:59+02:002019-11-04T12:22:17+00:00

With the single exception of my 94-year-old mother, I don’t know a single person over the age of 65 who doesn’t have a smartphone, computer, or tablet, and usually all three.

I’m well past sixty, and have worked my way through punch cards, a C-64, many versions of Windows, Apple and Linux. I know at least a few people over seventy who have a programming background or who have spent a lot of time doing graphic design and computer music composition on various machines.

That’s why I’m always amazed to read comments like these:

“Amazon Echo has been particularly popular with the older generations, as it allows them to interact with technology and the Internet in a natural, personal way, rather than via a computer.”

We are the generation that invented and grew up with personal computers. It’s absurd to suggest that we are less capable of using technology. In other words, you can’t complain about old people not understanding tech, and then also complain that they’ve taken over Facebook and Twitter.

Even though we’re as tech-savvy as anyone else, older users have some specific needs that web designers and programmers should consider. None of them are particularly difficult to accommodate, but they can be critical for our use and enjoyment of the Internet. As a bonus, you’ll be designing environments that will also work for you when you get older. “Older” meaning “past forty”.

Text Is Preferred, As Is Grammar And Spelling

I’ve been online since the 300 baud BBS days in the mid-80s, but like most people over fifty, I spent the first half of my life relying on books, newspapers, and magazines for almost all my information needs. I prefer text over video because I can absorb and retain information faster by reading than by watching YouTube. Unless it’s something hands-on like a car repair, I’ll ignore any search result that points to a video.

I routinely skip past pages that are mostly big pictures with short captions. If you’re showcasing professional photography or artwork that’s fine, but for most things, I’m looking for well-written copy with images to complement or expand on the text. A well-chosen image can certainly improve a web page, but it’s the written word that draws me in.

Because I grew up reading and writing text, I also care a lot about how well it’s written. Just because you’ve created thousands of tweets or forum posts does not mean that you’re a professional caliber writer. I’ve been writing for decades and know that I still have some skills that could be improved. If you don’t have writing chops you need to hire a real writer to create your copy, and hopefully a real editor to fix what the writer misses. If your page hasn’t been spellchecked and proofread, you’ll lose me pretty fast.

Black And White Please

Any Internet user over the age of sixty will complain that many pages are impossible to read — as are food packages and the tiny printed ‘Quick Start Guides’ that have replaced user manuals.

It’s not because we don’t appreciate current design choices, or because we’re behind the technological curve. It’s because so many web designers have decided that pale gray type on an equally pale field is something that looks good. At age twenty, that may seem like a valid choice, but as the rest of us age, our eyesight changes for the worse. After age forty, eyesight deteriorates enough that we need black text on a white page.

The American Optometric Association describes this deterioration:

“Beginning in the early to mid-40s, many adults may start to have problems seeing clearly at close distances, especially when reading and working on the computer. This is among the most common problems adults develop between ages 41 to 60. This normal change in the eye’s focusing ability, called presbyopia, will continue to progress over time.”

As well as presbyopia, most people will eventually deal with one or more of cataracts, macular degeneration, a deterioration of color vision, or a loss of peripheral vision. On top of that, we’re dealing with the inevitable and unstoppable loss of synapses, with the nerve cells that carry information to the brain disappearing one by one.

None of this is in any way unusual — it’s just part of the aging process and sooner or later affects everyone. Although cataracts can be repaired with new lenses, and many of us have reading glasses, most of these conditions are irreversible.

Recommended reading: Using Low Vision As My Tool To Help Me Teach WordPress

Unfortunately, for those of us with declining eyesight, there are a lot of web designers that seem unaware of any of this. A quick Google search will turn up years of debate about black versus grey text, most of which boils down to young guys saying “I can read this pale text just fine,” and old-timers replying, “But I can’t!”

This is not about who’s right or wrong; it’s about creating web content that everyone can use. Just accept that if you want 50+ aged visitors, you need a contrast ratio of at least 4.5 to 1 between text and a text’s background. (This is defined in the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 (WCAG).) A good guideline is that on a white background text should be #959595 or darker for larger typefaces, and #767676 for smaller print. If you really need to have a gray background, the text needs to be darker than this.

Black on white is still preferred. (Large preview)

As well as offering us high contrast black-and-white type, you need to think carefully about the size of the typefaces you use. Fine print may be acceptable on a car rental contract that no-one looks at, but it will send website visitors back to Google to find a source that they can actually read.

What size is good? A 2011 article at this very site by writer D. Bnonn Tennant suggests 16 pixels, and he explains in detail why this is the accepted minimum. In a nutshell: because that’s the size that web browsers are designed to display and it’s a size that most people can read easily on their device. Some designers suggest that you set your base font size to 100%, and let the browser present a font size that most users will be able to easily read on that device. On a desktop monitor, 100% defaults to — you guessed it — 16 pixels.

At this point, someone will usually say that users can just zoom. Tennant counters this easily:

The users who will most need to adjust their settings usually don’t know how. And the users who do... well, they’ll probably just take the easier path by hitting the “Back” button. ...Our personal tastes are not more important than best practices in usability.

Note: All of the above are general recommendations for text size. If you’re really serious about the science of vision and screens, you need to read Robert Mohns’ “What’s the best font size for the web? Well, it depends.”.)

Have Reasonable Tech Expectations

Before computers, I spent many weekends constantly upgrading and tweaking my 1969 Dodge Charger to get maximum performance, and when I started using and building PCs that DIY zeal carried over. Somewhere around the turn of the century, I stopped doing that. One reason was that it had become boring, but more importantly, it just wasn’t needed anymore. Unless your target audiences are gamers or niche groups like animators, it’s likely that computer upgrades happen every few years — not every few months.

I’m not alone in stretching the lifespan of my hardware, and older users are more likely to keep their computers until they are truly at the end of life. Although the common guideline is to replace computers every four years, according to Statista five to six years is the norm.

Depending on your target audience, you might also consider the number of people who hold on to systems much longer than that. I don’t need the biggest, fastest, and newest machine on the block, and my wife held on to her Windows XP machine until three years ago because “every time that you do an upgrade it breaks something.” When her motherboard gave up the ghost, she moved to an HP Envy Laptop that has mostly proved her right — it’s been one long battle with Windows 10.

Dell E6400. Still my daily driver. (Large preview)

I recently abandoned Gmail. For the last year or so, that single Chrome tab would invariably consume every scrap of my 4 gigs of RAM and grind my trusty Dell laptop to a halt. Changing Gmail for Thunderbird means that I don’t need to upgrade the memory (or anything else) and I’ll squeeze another couple of years out of this machine. For my uses (which are primarily web browsing and writing), I am perfectly productive using the applications that installed with Linux, and I honestly can’t see that changing. If your website demands too many resources I’ll go somewhere else, and this is true of a lot of older users that are happy with their existing, older tech.

My advice is to test on older, slower, less capable machines to see how your work looks and performs. If the site moves slower than molasses, you might look for ways to improve things.

Understand Our Expectations

Mine is the generation that invented personal computing and the Internet. Our experience has been that every year the Internet will get easier, more reliable, and more enjoyable. Sadly, that hasn’t been the case for a while now.

I can remember being one of the first people in my town with high-speed DSL Internet, and being amazed that web pages now appeared in a flash instead of taking seconds to load on a dial-up connection. My expectation is still that a website should load completely in a couple of seconds, but these days far too many sites take twenty, thirty, or sixty seconds to load all of the ads, pop-ups, clickbait, and gimmicks. That kind of lagging performance is enough to drive me away. I don’t think that I should have to wait for a website to load and if you can’t find a way around that, you’ve lost me.

With a cable connection that promises 150 megabytes per second download speeds, I feel that every webpage should load completely in a second or two. If some part of your page still hasn’t arrived after a few seconds, I’ll leave. When the text that I’m reading suddenly disappears two inches down the page to accommodate a slow-loading ad, my first instinct is to click the Back button and look elsewhere.

Older users understand that time is valuable. We’re conscious that we have only a finite number of years, days, and hours left, and not wasting our time shows that we’re respected. If your site takes forever to load or is “down for maintenance” more than once a year, or if it expects us to jump through multiple log-in hoops every time that we visit, we’ll go somewhere else that’s faster and easier.

If It Ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix It

Part of the reason why Amazon.com has taken over the retail world is because over the last decade the user experience has remained consistent and predictable. Despite adding Prime, and video streaming, and the whole AWS empire, the process of searching for a product, choosing it, and buying it really hasn’t changed. For many of us, that’s what keeps us coming back even if we might question some of Amazon’s corporate behavior. We know the site, and we know that we can do our shopping quickly and painlessly.

If your site works fine for us today, resist the urge to reinvent it. The first concern of every web designer should be how well a site functions, not whether it uses the newest and coolest technology. Before making changes, think long and hard about whether you’re breaking something that works just fine.

If you take the time to really consider these suggestions, you’ll likely realize that they don’t just benefit older people. Anything that makes your site easier to read, easier to use, and which gives visitors a consistent experience is a positive thing. Improvements to accommodate older, slower equipment will also make your site faster for people using bleeding-edge tech. And as a bonus, a lot of these ideas also help you to build a site that works well for people with legally defined disabilities. Design that acknowledges accessibility makes a website that works better for everyone.

Extra Resources

For really useful guidance in this area, I’ll suggest that you stay away from forums and discussion boards. Instead, check out some of the longer, and more evidence-based articles that look at these questions in more detail.

Why Accessibility is the Key to Great Design & Marketing

Accessibility is the key component to effective communication, the core of great design, and without accessibility your marketing will fail on multiple levels.

What’s a great design without effective accessibility?

Well, a design that cannot be accessible or cannot meet the needs of a wide range of potential users including those who have visual, auditory, speech or cognitive disability is no great design at all.

Graphic design is linked to effective communication in society.

Accessible design is a wide approach for designers to ensure that their product and services meet the need of the widest possible audience irrespective of their ability or age.

Like Microsoft says,

it’s not just doing the right thing, it’s doing the smart thing.

Including accessibility in your design is the smart thing to do.

It is also imperative to consider accessible design for legal, social and business and by here I mean reasons.

  Why design for accessibility?

Accessibility = Sales

Surveys have shown that over one billion people around the world live with some form of disability and as expected, the population of people with disability continues to grow.

Further research has shown that implementing accessibility in a design minimizes the rate at which users abandon websites which results in an additional estimated $2.4 million dollar annual revenue.

Over 1 billion people are likely denied access to a great design, over one billion who could have contributed to a great sale.

  Accommodating users through design to address these figures means more users and definitely more sales.

If those reasons alone aren’t enough to motivate you to design for accessibility, pay attention to these:

1. Accessibility is required by law:

The law requires that our work and learning environment are accessible for individuals with disabilities. Including accessibility in your design means staying off the path of many lawsuits. There are fines and penalties imposed on organizations who do not make provision for accessibility. Hence, these regulations should motivate you to make accessibility a priority.

2. Improved SEO (Search Engine Optimization):

Search engines can be compared to blind users. They can’t see the content of your image therefore including accessibility features such as alt text for image improves the search engine optimization. You have absolutely nothing to lose by improving accessibility.

3. A social responsibility

Accessibility in your design demonstrates social responsibility. It shows you are contributing your positive iota to humanity. It would build your reputation.

4. Accessibility means innovation:

Accessibility requires creativity. Contrary to popular opinion that making provisions for accessibility is boring or well, ugly, accessibility allows you to explore new ideas, to be creative and this will give your design a unique look that will attract all potential users and most definitely take you ahead of your competitors.

  How to Do It

As thrilling as the idea of including an accessibility function in your design may sound, you’re probably wondering how to implement this and how costly will it be?…

I have good news, it is not expensive or difficult.

Like anything, it will require some effort on your part.

  Before designing, you may need to do a background check on who your potential users are and what type of potential accessibility issues your users might have.

These issues might be visual (that is, colour blindness, extreme light sensitivity, blurred vision or night blindness), mobility (a wheelchair or muscle or joint problems, inability to move a part of the body), cognitive disability (learning or thinking disability e. g dyslexia), auditory, and seizures. Having a basic knowledge about this will give you a great start on how to begin.

You can also find click this link to get accessible website design templates and other graphics designs.

  Designing for visually impaired people:

About 80% of accessibility issues are related to sight. So here is what to do.

Add color contrast.

Do not hardcode font size

Use messages along with color for errors: Using color as the only means in your graphics can be challenging to users who are color blind or who prefer a dimmed screen backlight. Indicating the reason for an error with message is a good idea for such users.

Include assistive technology: These entails the screen readers, the magnifiers or speech to text software or the voice recognition software.

Ensure sufficient contrast between text and its background. That is for a text that is 24px, 19px, bold or larger, the lightest Gray recommended on a white background is #959595.

  Designing for Physically disabled people:

Enable form field space: Clearly defined boundaries for form fields are important for users with mobility impairments and cognitive disability.

Make large clickable options

Avoid making dynamic contents that demand a lot of mouse movement.

The use of assistive technology is equally very applicable here.

Provide visual focus indication for keyboard focus.

  Designing for users with cognitive disability (e. g dyslexia):

Keep your content simple, short and clear.

Use images and diagrams to support text as highlighted above.

Forms without a label is a no-no. Labels inform the user of the purpose of a field. It maintains its usefulness when focus is placed inside the field. This is a much better accessible tool for users with cognitive disability.

  How Design for Accessibility Helps in Marketing

We’ve now looked at some pretty practical ways to include accessibility in your design, so let’s talk about how it helps in marketing.

Often times, in digital marketing, the challenge has always been how do you;

reach more people

get more traffic

build your audience

Accessible designs are a great way to increase your business reach and broaden its appeal. It increases your chance of getting that traffic you need and this as well increases your revenue as discussed earlier.

Also, accessibility attracts more potential business partners.

In marketing, we need as many business partners as we can get. Not just those you do business with but those who would further market your designs. Outside of the fact that accessibility in your design earns you credibility among physically able potential business partners, it will also earn you more partners among the physically challenged ones because you have shown the world through your accessible design that you do not discriminate and you believe they are equal to the task despite their physical challenges.

Is your website accessible to persons with disabilities? Test it here.

Before you give a final verdict on your design, test for accessibility with real users. Make adjustments where you need to, then go ahead, launch it.

hi! i just started using birthmark as my about page (love how cute and simple it is!) but i have some questions/problems. for some reason, the text that's supposed to be bold won't bold. i was also wondering if you know how i could add the music player from my main page? additionally, i want to use a stack overflow icon and im not sure how! my primary concern is the bolding problem tho. the other two aren't as related to your code, but help is always nice haha. thank you for the lovely work!

Hi. I’m glad you like the page.

I’m looking at the page now and the <b> tag seems to be working fine. Were you using a different  tag? I know there are a few for bolded text.

<b>This is bold text.</b>

For adding a stackoverflow icon (I’m assuming you mean to the social media icons) stackoverflow has a page where you can download their logos. It will be a little clunky, but should work.

Add this in with the other social media links.

<a href="/" title="username"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 120 120"><path class="st0" d="M84.4 93.8V70.6h7.7v30.9H22.6V70.6h7.7v23.2z"/><path class="st1" d="M38.8 68.4l37.8 7.9 1.6-7.6-37.8-7.9-1.6 7.6zm5-18l35 16.3 3.2-7-35-16.4-3.2 7.1zm9.7-17.2l29.7 24.7 4.9-5.9-29.7-24.7-4.9 5.9zm19.2-18.3l-6.2 4.6 23 31 6.2-4.6-23-31zM38 86h38.6v-7.7H38V86z"/></svg></a>

And then add this in the CSS, before </style>

svg { width: 20px; vertical-align: middle; margin: -5px 5px 0; fill: #E97F7F; }

svg:hover { fill: #959595; }

And as for the music player, since I wasn’t the one who made it, I can’t put it on the page.
