The principle of webpage complexity in one of the "Five Key Considerations for Creating Web Content". Avoiding webpage complexity mostly benefits those with visual impairment as complex web pages can create visual clutter and cause eye strain as well as those who face ADHD, as they may struggle to focus. In this case the website does not do well. The right hand side has other articles and a poll, most of which is in varying shades of red. There is also a plethora of menu items surrounding the article in all directions, contributing to visual clutter. While this may be good for engagement, it adds a lot of unnecessary complexity. This is a poor instance of avoiding webpage complexity and can discourage potential readers with visual impairments.

“Gen AI is paving the way toward complex wearable ambient computing,” he wrote. “In other words, the current goal is making glasses that look and feel like ‘normal glasses,’ but with generative AI access via voice activation, cameras, and sensors.” “This means,” he continued, “your glasses will understand the physical world around you, ready to provide you any information about it, like ‘what kind of plant am I looking at?’ or ‘did you see where I left my keys?'” Munster predicted that the annual market for smart glasses will reach hundreds of millions of units over the next decade, leading Apple to refocus its spatial computing initiatives to be more in line with Meta and Google wearables.
The Web Accessibility principle of Understandability refers to having the text in a web page be broken into smaller segments rather than as a wall of text in order to reduce visual clutter. This is meant to increase accessibility to those with disabilities such as ADHD and dyslexia. This website does a good job at this. The annotated text is well broken up, helping increase accessibility and serving as a good example of understandability.

Deepwater Asset Management,
On the web content accessibility guideline of perceivability, the site does relatively well. Perceivability refers to the application of colour in web design, and making sure that colour is not used as a sole communicator. Doing so makes it difficult for those with colour blindness. Generally, the site appears to be quite perceivable as the article title and information is black-and-white. A minor issue that the article has is that colour is used as the sole indicator of a hyperlink. This makes it easy to miss for those with the related colour blindness. Overall, the page does well in perceivable but should use bold/underlines to make hyperlinks more accessible.
