I am 50 and have (dollar store) reading glasses in both cars, the
intruder saddle bag, at work, and 2 sets at home, and I use CTRL+ and
CRTL- all the time. I am blind as a bat for reading. That was one of
the main reasons I switched to FF. (There were a lot of other reasons
too) Even so, I don't run away from a site just because it may not
look right. And I don't believe others to either.
Hell the AARP site breaks with large fonts. Don't you think that an
organization that represents millions of people over 50 would not have
that problem if those people complained? People generally don't
complain. They deal with the problem and move ahead in life.

Would you do their site for $450? That might be all Mom and Pop can
afford.... So do you have no web presents because you can not afford
someone that can "do it right", or do you spend the $450 and get your
name out there for the majority of the folks?
Life is full of decisions.
