Colour Blindness
Not everyone can see the same colours when visiting a website. I have found a great tool online to help you define your stylesheet according to the results. This is only a small part of a usability testing for your website.You can check the usability of colour on your website at: http://colorfilter.wickline.org/
Colorblind Web Page Filter provides different ‘coverage’ filters to choose from.
This little nifty engine is based on some levels of
- Color vision deficiencies and Anomalous Forms: Protan, Deutan and Tritan.
- Coverage Testing: Monochrome, Black, White, Gray
- Toggle of images: Scripts, Images and CSS
Checking up my site, I found that I haven’t actually provided a foreground colour on some layers, which resulted in not seeing the text when I was disabling the images.
Check it out. You will be surprised at the results.

When starting your blog keep in mind that not all search engine optimization tools can be used with blogging platforms.
