I would change the footer of your website. The yellow background / white text combination is really hard on the eye. I would switch to a lighter shade of yellow for the background and black text instead.

The contrast (1.81) is also so low it isn't considered accessible at even the worst tier. And while the legal status of accessibility requirements is a complex topic, in terms of user experience, good accessibility normally means good experience (particularly color contrast, there are a lot of color blind people, or older people with diminished eyesight).
Thanks for the tip! Great reminder that I need to be more mindful of these things.
a11y is hard. I like to let axe ( extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/axe-web-accessibil... ) do all the hard work for me.
