Your the man...
I didn’t get past the home page but I see what your saying about the mega-menu, you actually have to pick an item and can’t just go to the used car section.
That is a bit crazy!
I agree a 100% on the font sizes, that's a bit crazy as well, your force the filters to be the most important part of the page.
What are your thoughts on being able to open and close the left sidebar so you could slide it out of the way and maybe just so an icon or something, so if you didn’t want to use the filters you don’t have to see them?
What information do you think should be in the VDP cards?
When people are window shopping they can filter by new or used, type of fuel, maybe just show the price?
The websites job is to tell a story...
The user should be the hero of the story, their problems the villain, and the dealership the mentor.
The LCP on the used truck page is 28.1s. That site is bleeding rankings and leads.
I fear if I get started talking about overlays for ADA compliance I couldn’t stop!
To start with the single most important thing when making a website visible is content and page speed and overlays slow the site down.
Do accessibility overlays make a website compliant?
No!
An overlay gives the impression of fixing your site without actually fixing your site. You've still got bad code on your site but now it's hidden behind more options and more confusion.
The reason for the law is to give everyone equal access to your services and products.
However, since this code is on a third party site and needs some type of input from the user to be activated ... The user is already not being treated the same as the people who access your site without a disability.
And if the user does figure out how to activate the overlay, because it's not in the main code there is the question of how well it will navigate the site and make the changes.
Creating a good web experience means fixing the code, validating it, and making it ADA compliant.
Plugins and overlays add friction to the user experience that wouldn't be there had the site been coded correctly.
Overlays are scripts hosted on third-party sites.
And I don’t see a way to go from used cars to new cars without going back to the mega-menu?
A lot of vehicles don’t have images.
I couldn't even find the compare feature, I will continue looking for it.
However linking out to the website developer is a bad idea anyway because its an off topic link and it bleeds link juice.
I didn't try the chat I'll have to play with it a bit
I need to play with some page layouts for content to see how you would keep someone interested and reading.
What backend and frontend are you using?
And do you have a link to your website?
