    Some minor grumbles about Dutch's website.

    So, I've got a trio of minor beefs with Dutch's website.

    1. This is the biggest beef: The primary text color of descriptions and such used across the website is TOO LIGHT. Pump up the contrast, i.e. make the font darker, Reading it is a strain.
    2. The Cart: It's nice that the individual "sub-items" in an item (such as a complete Chameleon Hammock package) are listed out. It would be even nicer if that list were COLLAPSIBLE. And if there wasn't an overabundance of space between the individual lines.
    3. Third, ahhh, never mind the third one.


    Now, the good news (from Dutch's perspective) is that these beefs didn't stop me from making a couple hundred dollar order yesterday (MYOG stuff), and they're unlikely to prevent me from picking up a few hammocks (gifts) next month.

    I'll agree with #1, it is too light and needs to be darker. I end up selecting the text so there's a greater contrast to make reading easier. But like you, it's never stopped me from opening my wallet.

    Thank you. I have been meaning to get around to making it easier to read and have more contrast. My eyes are old and my font has to be large these days. I am doubtful I can make the second happen. We put a lot of work into making options on the website and having them organized. Very often this causes great challenges elsewhere but we really can't move away from all the options. However we will certainly look into it. Thank you for your business also.
