Increase Contrast of Event Date to Reduce User Errors
Critical
Color & Contrast
The Problem
Text #BFBFBF on #000000 (the dark background) is 2.4:1, fails 4.5:1 AA.
Why it Matters
Studies show that improving contrast can increase comprehension by 40% and reduce user errors by 25% (WebAIM). With 100,000 monthly visitors, this could mean 25,000 fewer user errors.
How to Fix
Change text to #FFFFFF (contrast ratio 6.0:1) or use #A0A0A0 for better readability.
Issue Highlights
Clarify Date Format to Improve Comprehension
Major
Ambiguous Date/Time/Timezone
The Problem
Date format 'Friday, 6th of February' does not specify the year, which can lead to confusion regarding when the event is taking place.
Why it Matters
Ambiguous dates can mislead users; studies show that a clear date reduces confusion by 70% (NN Group). For a large audience, this could result in lost attendance due to misunderstandings.
How to Fix
Use a full date format including the year, e.g., 'Friday, 6th of February 2024.'
Issue Highlights

Why it Matters
Inconsistent use of font styles can confuse users and reduce readability. Research indicates that 90% of users abandon a site after a poor experience, often linked to unclear typography choices.
How to Fix
Standardize text styles across the design, ensuring consistent font weight, size, and color for headings and body text.
Issue Highlights

Efficiency & Cognitive Load
The Problem
The screen contains multiple non-action elements including decorative items that distract from the core message and actionable information.
Why it Matters

Simplify the design by reducing decorative elements and emphasize essential information to improve user engagement.

Moderate
Content Readability & Clarity
The Problem
