  1. I suggest you familiarise yourself with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) under ADA. Here's the link: https://adasitecompliance.com/color-blind-website-accessibility/ Litigation under these guidelines is increasing, according to the compliance people and is costing companies a great deal of money every year. Ignoring the guidelines during the design process opens your clients up to being sued. Who do you think they will blame if they get sued due to your design not taking colour blindness into account?
  2. As you say, that's not a popular choice with those paying the bills. However, excluding 8% of the population out of ... let's say "determination", isn't a great solution either.
  3. I get it that you're proud of your design idea - agreed it's lovely. It is, however, fairly straightforward to adjust for accessibility - I had a fairly popular gig to do just that when everyone was panicking about ADA a few years back. For visual issues it's often just a question of increasing contrast, reducing flashing and movement, adding texture, differentiating saturation levels between colours and making interesting use of shapes. Frankly, the whole emojis thing could easily be solved by going back to stars ... Adding a screen reader doesn't hurt
  4. Similar saturation in all the colours makes the buttons appear a uniform grey to those with colour blindness. This is not a personal criticism of you - or even your design, really. It's important to me, however, that visual impairments of all kinds are taken into account in design. Colour blindness, like deafness, is not often considered in design of anything. The reason I think about it is a result of various male relatives who are colour blind - their world is grey, so it's texture and movement that brings it to life. Also, accessibility in design for all folks with all kinds of challenges is important these days - ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) still exists and people are still suing companies under its terms.
  5. Colours are a great idea ... except for people who are colour blind - there's a lot of that about. Much of the confusion could be sorted out by making the emojis bigger, so that people could see more clearly what they're choosing!

  7. That is a perfect example of one element of reverse causality. Thanks for pointing it out @vickieito
  8. Being a native English speaker does not necessarily mean one can string a sentence together ... innit ... A great many native English speakers don't appear to understand the difference beween "less" and "fewer" - or proper usage of apostrophes or other punctuation. There are also a great many "native" English speakers who are not - that becomes obvious in their posts here on the forum and, more seriously, in chat with buyers. Fiverr requires a pass on the English test because not everyone is honest about their language abilities. A great many sellers here on Fiverr are, shall we say, economical with the truth. Fiverr's doing their best to catch them. Although I'm pretty sure the answers to the tests can easily be found online. That's the only explanation for some people passing, while clearly having only a smattering of a language they assert is their mother tongue ...
  9. There is also the issue of reverse causality ... I'm not sure Fiverr has done reserch taking that into account ...
  10. Merry Christmas to all, whether you celebrate or not 🙂
