Typography & Web Design: Why Go Web-Safe
One of the common gripes that web designers have is the limited selection of typefaces they can use. Although there are many different font-replacement methods that exist, there is no perfect way. That is when a decision needs to be made. Do you focus on design or search engine/user-friendliness?
Increase Website Friendliness with Accent Colors
Color is a crucial element to a website. But color can also be the downfall to a website. Where there is too much or too little color, the site looks flat (or too vibrant) and the user-friendliness of the site is lowered.
