Fix the fonts so they are way darker
The new homepage is an accessibility nightmare. None of the fonts are dark enough on the excessively white background. I only have slight vision issues and I'm really struggling to read it with the light fonts and the clutter. I would hate to have a vision impairment worse than mine because this new homepage is basically unreadable and inaccessible.
I've recommended to Xero on multiple occasions to please hire an accessibility manager who can help them avoid these things, including during times when they've specifically put out requests to have their new pages tested before release, but they continue to prove they're not listening.
I hope this is taken seriously as I've seen that that the community manager has answered previously saying this feedback has been taken on board and the fonts have been fixed, but it's still completely unreadable to someone with vision issues. In contrast, their old home page, while still not ideal, is at least much more accessible.
Thanks for submitting your idea on Xero Product Ideas. We appreciate you taking time to let us know how we could improve Xero for you.
Your feedback will soon be reviewed by our Community team, and in the meantime this can begin to build support with votes from other community members.
If you're interested to see recent releases or get a pulse on what's coming soon see The Long and Short of it. 🙂

By the way, the font on this page isn't dark enough either. This is also a readability nightmare.
