subject: Typography In Good San Diego Web Design [print this page] There is one underplayed element in San Diego Web design, and that is typography. Typography is actually just as old as the earliest writing systems, and over time it has developed into a very detailed and specialized field. It originated after the invention of printing from movable type during the mid 15th century and has advanced significantly since then. Today, there is a very large number of different typefaces that are used on the World Wide Web, and they are all important. This means that your San Diego Web design company should be quite familiar with typography and its significance.
How you choose the typeface for your website will either diminish the visual impact of it to visitors or it is going to enhance it. Many people do not really think much about it, but function and aesthetics are intrinsic in San Diego Web design, and even the letters are significant in how it looks. And, a good SEO/SEM expert will tell you that how your design looks is just as important as how it works.
For the most part, creative uses for typography in Web design were pretty limited until recently. The new operating systems now make it possible for professionals in Web design to be so much more creative and eye catching than they could be when there were only limited standard system fonts. Following are a few tips to help you with the choice and placement of your typeface in your San Diego Web design:
First is space. Make sure that everything on your site is going to be easily read by your visitors the space between words will impact that readability. Also consider the color of your text, and choose it very carefully. It cant overpower your design, but it also shouldnt be consumed by it! Again, make sure people can read it. Next is font size does it match the theme of your website? Some fonts are designed to be small, so they are going to lose their effect if they are too big. Never make text too small or big. Legibility is what it all comes down to. If no one can read it, they are going to leave your site without taking another look. Also, do not use too many different fonts it is too distracting. Use no more than two or three fonts tops in your whole San Diego Web design, and you will be able to make sure that everyone is going to be able to read every page with little trouble.
