[NABS-L] Coffee

Mon Feb 6 17:39:28 UTC 2023

Hello All,

I just wanted to chime in as a totally blind JAWS user.

Yes, there a couple of issues with the site, but it is still usable.  In a perfect world we would have every website be completely accessible without having to use our problem-solving skills, but it's not a perfect world.  Even our national website has a few corks that make it interesting to use, especially if someone is a new computer user.

I made my selections and completed my order with no assistance.  I will mention that if you get an error message saying that you need to select before adding it  the cart that must mean it's out of stock, because it doesn't give the in-stock numbers like on other products.

Is there room for improvement, absolutely!  Writing to the company directly instead of listing the complaints on the list serve would be more beneficial.   Also asking if a company is legit when another division is doing a fund-raiser is offensive to me.  I would hope if they were doing a fund-raiser they have had the sense to check into the company....

I'm excited to get my coffee and I hope others will give it a try and support the senior division of South Carolina!

Sincerely,
Jamie K. Richey, President
National Federation of the Blind of Nebraska

This is semi unrelated, but it bothers me that a company professing to think about how to improve lives for the blind and visually impaired has so many accessibility issues on their site.
