[nfbcs] Suing a seemingly accessible web site

I was contacted by a lawyer today because one of his clients is being 
sued under the ADA because their web site is not accessible. I went to 
the web site and I couldn't find a single issue with the site. In fact, 
it may be the most accessible and easiest to use shopping site I've ever 
visited. The web site is https://www.evolutionsalt.com/

If anyone goes to the web site and finds any issues with it, please let 
me know.

I'm obviously very much in favor of making web sites accessible, and I'm 
not opposed to using the ADA and a law suit as a last resort to force a 
company in complying with the law. I'm also very much against frivolous 
lawsuits against sites that are accessible just to get some kind of a 
settlement for a nuisance lawsuit. I think this makes blind people look 
bad and petty, and it makes it harder for us to address issues with 
sites that are legitimately inaccessible.

BTW, this lawyer just reached out to me since he knew I was blind and 
used the web.
