Challenges on the web
Some older adults may find websites difficult to use when content is cluttered, fast-moving, or written in unclear language. Without the right support, websites can feel overwhelming, confusing or frustrating to navigate.
For example, low contrast or small text can reduce readability. Complex layouts and visually busy designs, while engaging for some users, may make it harder to focus on key elements or follow the flow of the page.
