Reno web design people can read at arm's length.

Contrast is the most common failure we recorded in Reno, on a modest sample of 43 completed tests. A failed check means some of the text failed, and we can't say how much. Tap targets too small or too close hit 28%, about the same as 22% in our 31-city sample, with skipped heading levels close too at 53% and 47%. Alt text was missing from images on 10 of 43 sites. Images shown at the wrong shape, stretched or squashed, turned up on 5. Leisure and hospitality jobs run about 1.46 times the national share in Washoe County, and our read is that a visitor with no memory of your place judges it on the page alone. We'd choose the body color first and the rest of the palette after it.

Weight doesn't look like the trouble. The median homepage is 3.07 MB, level with 3.08 MB in the sample, with 93 requests against 93, and 13 of 43 came in under 2 MB. Design decisions change with the reader. The median home value in Reno is $548,300, so a contractor needs photographs of real jobs and captions that can be read over the picture. A restaurant needs hours and a menu in live text. A clinic needs the phone number and the next step on the first screen.

Websites run from $1,500 to $5,750 at a fixed price, up to 70 pages, and online stores start at $2,500. If your only trouble is color and spacing, you may not need a new site. Design fixes come from the repair list, which starts at $149. The Reno report has the whole test. Turn your phone's brightness down, read your homepage aloud, and send us the parts you stumbled over.
