Good day. I simply wished to let you know that some parts of the website tend to be tricky to read for me, as I am color blind. I’m troubled by deuteranopia, however there are a lot more types of color blindness that will also get problems. I can figure out the biggest part of the site Ok, and the areas I’ve issues with I am able to read by using a particular browser. Still, it would be awesome if you would remember us color-blind folk when doing the following web site revamp. Thanks.
