The Use Of Fonts On A Website

As a web designer, you need to have an excellent eye for small
details. Something as little as a text size or a font colour has the
ability to impact the contents of your website, either negatively nor
positively. Most of the time I come across websites where I find the
contents way too difficult to read. It's either the text is too small
or the font colour is too bright. No one has the patience to go
through a paragraph one word at a time. As a web designer or a web
content writer, you need advanced knowledge on the use of a font
family.

HOW TO USE A FONT FAMILY?

For you to be able to use a font family. CSS needs to come into
action. It's important to know the aspects of using cascading style
sheet(CSS) to enhance your website. Using a font family enables a
designer to include a back-up font to maintain the look of your
website. If a client's computer is incapable of reading Arial fonts,
possibly it can read serif or Times Roman. This is the main reason why
the use of a font family is so important.

Using a variety of fonts all over a single web page is extremely
irritating to a reader. Don't use more than 5 different fonts on a
single web page. A reader should never struggle to find the main point
of your web page. Always make relevant words easier to find.
