A long time lurker emerges to reveal the parttime webmaster within:

Mary queried thusly:

This is a very good question. Over the past month or so I've visited over
3000 museum related websites. (Sound crazy? All for a good cause. My new
website http://museumstuff.com demands this level of thourough
investigation!) Not ONE "large print option button" to be found, that I
recall anyway!

Anyway, badly concealed personal plugs aside, I think your "large print"
button is a good idea. One way that it could be done is with a coding
language known as javascript. A decent codemasher could pound this one out
pretty quickly, and then the code snippet could be placed on each page. No
need to duplicate pages the way you suggested.

I could probably even do the code for it. Unfortunately I don't have time
right now! Too many other pots to stir. Any fellow lurkers out there that
would like to work on this? I think it would be a popular code, bring fame,
fortune, praise, etc.

Just an idea ;)
