    Some communities have individuals who are older and do not have near as perfect eyesight. In the past, I would simply develop a style that would have larger text completely dedicated for this reason.

    However, I find the older generation has no concept of changing styles and of course the few who do usually like style X so I end up making that one also with large text and this repeats indefinitely.

    Rather than making independent style for senior citizens, it would be so much easier to add 1 simple accessibility feature such as the one used on Europe's Domain Authority's website

    Well, these people better adjust their OS and/or browser font size, browsers perfectly scale pages (we're no longer in the IE6 stone-ages!). The benefits of this approach is, that every site will now be properly readable instead of only pages which offer this.

    My point is, that such a feature is completely pointless because the browser already do a perfect job at this.

    Most senior citizens know how to open the browser, suff, post, and use email. That is the full extent of their skills. But they do understand and recognize the universal enlarge text symbol which Europe's Domain Authority.

    Just a thought. I personally use 150 zoom on my browser. If I didn't, my text would be like

    ^ everywhere. But I fear most do not know how to do that.
