So to sum it up, the default font sizes of some of the fedora websites 
is too small, and some are too lightly coloured?

Would it also be possible to get the bugs that those attached 
screenshots are from? Additionally, those screenshots are quite busy, 
and i find it very hard to parse the information on them. Is what you 
are running there basically a tool that assesses the font sizes of  
websites?

Finally, the best way to help out with making the fedora websites 
better is to help out the websites team! The follwoing link gives you 
all the details on how to join and help out!
