Accessibility: Improving the Visibility of the 'High Visibility' Option
For users with impaired vision, locating the 'High Visibility' mode can be challenging if it is only available as a small link in the website footer.
To improve accessibility, consider adding a clearly visible button at the top of the site. This would make it easier for users to activate a simplified, distraction-free view of the website.
Additionally, ensuring this option can be selected using only a keyboard would enhance usability for those who cannot use a mouse.

I don't see why we as customers have to pay for this critical and statutory change

While users can install plugins or use browser settings to achieve this, having a built-in option would be more convenient and ensure consistency across the site.
This feature would provide an alternative view that enhances readability without removing all styling.
Placing a clearly visible button at the top of the site would make it easy to access, and ensuring it is fully keyboard-navigable would improve usability for those with mobility impairments.
