Every time Rendo revamps their store, I'm reminded of the scene in Star Trek II in which Kirk tells Khan, "Like a poor marksman, you keep missing the target."

For this latest redesign, who on Rendo's staff thought it was a good idea to create white link buttons with bright orange backgrounds for the product details pages?  Do they not test these things for legibility?

I would heartily recommend that our dear friends in the tech department submit their site to one of the many free online resources that checks your code for Disabilities Access. This would help in getting color combinations and such that actually work together and that everyone can see. It also allows the tech folks, once the site is ADA compliant, to place that notification on their site proving they are safe for folks with disabilities and special needs. Not everyone who uses the products offered here looks like M4 or V4, some are stuck with dysfunctional bodies but still love working in 3D.

I just read the article about the revamp, and noticed they used the same poor button design on the My Cart and Wishlist pages, including light blue and light green buttons.

I would suggest either using darker background colors, or darker text.

As a strtuggling artist with very poor vision, I find it amazing that peope with a lot of design knowledge fail to take into account that there are people like myself. I find this in many things, not just the site design here. I took the plunge and bought PP2014 when it was on sale, and I am having a terrible time using it because the GUI is designed in such a way that it is almost impossible for me to see. The navigation icons on the top of the preview window used for moving and rotation and rendering are so dark I struggle to find them. The overall dark gray color is absolutely horrid to me. I could care less if I were able to change them to suit my eyesight. But I find nothing in the general preferences that allow me to do so. It is just an example of the many things people like myself have to deal with. I have no vision in my left eye and cataracts and glaucoma in the right. None of that is conducive to the way things are designed. White radio buttons with black text as I see here in the forum for navigation work. So much other things don't. When I worked in social services I took certification courses in ADA. I learned a lot about what faces people with disabilities. Why is it that designers seem to care less about people like me?

Heavy sigh...

Even the price lists on the New Items pages are unevenly positioned from item to item.

Please go back to the drawing board and fix these issues, asap.

Now that I'm getting older and my eyesight isn't as good I'm running into problems as well. I notice it especially with the bezier points in Illustrator, and pretty much refuse to use Bryce because the icons around the border are so small.

Is it just me not understanding the new store or did they seriously limit the filter possibilities? Before I could filter on e.g. "V4 clothes" ocr "Genesis 2 characters"... now I can filter just on "clothes" or "characters".

A very fundemental rule for running a good store:

**Make it easy for the customers to find what they want! **(Otherwise they go somewhere else where it's easier to find what they want...)
