Making and Keeping the Sites Accessible
Sometimes less does mean "more" (or "MOAR")
In Project Gemini, there is no styling information associated with any page. GMI (GemText) files only specify contents. The user (reader/surfer) gets to decide what the reading/presentation experience will be like. And that's an enormously powerful feature! It gives room for experiments, such as finding one's favourite way to ingest new information (font sizes, font types, colours, contrast, GUI, navigation features).
When we redid the sites in 2022 we started with the bare basics. We've hardly 'evolved' the "looks" of the sites since then, instead we focused on the content, knowing that the Gemini equivalents of all Web pages won't contain images (except links to images or verbal descriptions of the images).
This means the Web site is highly accessible to blind people. It makes no assumptions about one's eyesight and does not assume people will click on references (links), as they might be "another protocol" (for another kind of program).
If you are desperate to improve your site, then focus on the content, not the "packaging" (looks). Better yet, adopt Gemini Protocol and start thinking from the perspective of a Geminispace tenant.
To some people, clickbait is the goal. To others, writing is a gift, a skill. And they should focus on writing; they should carefully choose the right words and plan how to clearly explain things, even without images. For many years books (literature) did just fine with only movable types, no pictures. Books were monochrome and the characters of the same type. █
