Website Font:
Many studies have proven that
the font for websites should be Sans Serif fonts
over Serif fonts. Serif fonts have small lines
at the tops and bottoms of each character. Serif
fonts are commonly used in print, however, when
reading off of a computer screen Sans Serif
fonts are easier to read. One in depth study
concludes that the easiest to read fonts are 12
pt. Arial or 9 or 10 pt. Veranda. Other
commonly used Sans Serif fonts are Helvetica,
Franklin Gothic, Gill Sans, and Myriad. For more

Website Background:
The rule of thumb is to build a website with
dark text on light colored background. Avoid
busy patterns or graphics as a background as the
text may blend in with the background. The best
choice for a background is a single color. Also
important is to have all of the pages in your
website have the same background to make your
entire site cohesive. The user wants to know
where they are and that they are on the same
website. For more information on backgrounds
