Customer Street and UFindUs Web Design

Choosing a font can make or break a website, designing a website isn’t as easy as you may think, you have to consider every little detail and choose colours, content and layout ideas carefully.

Where going to have a look at fonts, for those who are unsure what a font is, a font is a name given to a text style, such as Arial, Tahoma, Verdana and Times New Roman.

When you first install window on your pc, it is preloaded with standard font types. These font types or font-families can be upgraded with new fonts, You can find FREE font sources online. These fonts once downloaded are placed in a folder located in the following directory: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts

I recommend restarting your machine for windows to recognise all the new fonts or just closing down any software that generates text (word, photoshop etc).

For webdesign, I recommend using tahoma, it’s clear and easy to read at 11points/11px, this font and size is quite regularly used. Verdana is also another good font to use, if your using any specialist fonts online you will find they won’t show as another person viewing your website would need to have that font installed at there end. So if you are going to use specialist fonts use them in images.
