Then they are poorly done. Just because there are many examples of
poorly designed websites does not justify continuing the practice.

The OS cannot increase the contrast of your low contrast grey on white
"image" text, but if your site had *real* text it is a simple matter of
(a)disable your stylesheet, or (b)Set the browser with an over-riding
preference stylesheet to improve contrast.

The web is not a magazine, it is a flexible media, which your design
ignores.
