Text/Headers

Here are some general Text and Heading rules to take into account when creating any website.

  1. Font - What about font... keep it simple. Try to stay with the default font and every browser will be able to read your text. Remember older browsers may not have every text. To change the font put this html in your body <font face="Name of text here"> IF you don't put this in it will automatically go to the default font. A few goodies are:

  2. Size - Think about how much writing is going to be on the page and try to keep it uniform. Keep one size for your headers and one for your text and one for your footer etc ... etc ... To change your size put in this tag before the text you want to change <font size="size goes here"> and </font> after the text.
  3. Colour - Also think about your background colour/picture and what will stand out against that. To change the colour of the writing on your page put in this tag in the <body ....> tag, text="#??????".Where there are  ?????? you will need to add in a hexi-decimal colour number. You can find charts at our links page. One big no-no. Steer clear from neon and fluorescent writing, you get a headache trying to read the page.
