Using Web Templates for Web Design: Tips and Best Practices
Font Design - According to usability studies, san-serif fonts are more easily readable on a computer screen. When selecting fonts, it must also be available on your visitors' computers for them to view the fonts you specify. For example, if you specify "Technical" as the font to use and your visitors do not have "Technical", their computer will substitute a font, which might not be the font you'd consider acceptable. Arial and Helvetica have been selected for this reason, as each font comes standard with either the Microsoft or Macintosh operating systems.
Font Face of Non-Graphic Text - All text or headers should use the "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" font face (applied: text ).
Font Size of Non-Graphic Text - On a font size scale from 1 through 7 (3 being default) size 3 is recommended for headers or page titles and size 2 is recommended for body text (applied: text). Sizes 3 and 2 are equivalent to 12 point and 10 point sizes in your standard word processor application.
Stylesheets - As an alternative to the tag, a stylesheet can be used to format the text. For those of you that would like to clean up your HTML code, a stylesheet can be applied. Here are some steps to insert your font size and font face as a style sheet.
Step 1: insert the style guide into the head of the HTML page
tags
Step 2: insert the style class into the tag surrounding the text you wish to format.
Hello world!
Color Scheme - Usability studies indicate that for body text, users can most easily read black text against a white background and so we recommend the same for clarity and common look.
