Know your market: a substantial portion of your patients may be older people who have trouble getting around and less-than-perfect eyes, unlike a 20-something web designer with 20/20 vision and a giant monitor.

Hey Stratoscope,

Ian here, co-founder, thanks for the feedback. You make a very valid point and we are working to refine our design and type on our site. There’s definitely room for improvement and optimization on that front. Keep an eye out!
