What We’ve Learned from Evaluating 100+ Websites

Thought LeadershipBy Jackie Gross3-5 minDecember 29, 2025

Evaluating 100+ websites shows that common design flaws still block older adults from fully engaging online. The good news? Most accessibility gaps are easy to fix, and making these improvements boosts satisfaction, conversions, and business success for everyone.

After evaluating hundreds of websites, SilverSurfers.ai reveals the most common accessibility gaps and what businesses can do to fix them.


The Challenge


After reviewing over a hundred websites for SilverSurfers Scores, one thing is clear—many brands don’t realize how much their design choices exclude older adults. Issues like low contrast, confusing icons, small buttons, and unclear navigation appear far too often, even on major company sites. These barriers create frustration and abandonment, costing businesses engagement and revenue.


The problem isn’t lack of care—it’s lack of awareness. Most teams simply haven’t seen their digital experience through the eyes of older adults.


The Opportunity


The encouraging news is that accessibility and usability gaps are often easy to fix once identified. Businesses that take the time to audit and adjust their design quickly see results: longer time on site, improved conversion rates, and better customer feedback.


At SilverSurfers.ai, we provide data‑driven insights and clear action plans to help companies prioritize the fixes that matter most. Simple improvements—like larger tap areas, plain‑language instructions, and clear visual cues—make digital interactions more intuitive for everyone.


The Takeaway


Accessibility is not just a best practice; it’s a business advantage. The more usable your digital platform is, the more inclusive—and profitable—it becomes. Learning from real evaluations helps organizations continuously improve and stay ahead of user expectations.
