5 EASY WAYS TO IMPROVE WEBSITE LEGIBILITY

Websites constitute many minute factors that are often ignored but that are essential in generating the desired web presence.

Miniscule fonts, text in colors that make it hard to see against the background color, and lines that are piled on top of each other are problems, but then they are also easy to correct. Some easy fixes to mend this problem are:

Format your text using CSS
By using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), you can make use of one style sheet and control how text looks on your entire site. Make a change to the style sheet and your whole site is updated. It makes the entire process a lot simpler.

Make the font size big enough to read
The font size should be of a proper size. It makes the entire website easier to access and read.

Make the text contrast with its background
Contrasting effects grabs viewer’s attention. The more contrast, the better. Black-on-white or white-on-black are examples of the highest contrast you can get. Use colors if you like, but discreetly.

Give the lines room to breathe
Lines should not be piled upon each other. Use the line-spacing directive in CSS and give it some space.

Break text up into chunks
Endless pages of continual text make it boring, although written in the best way. It needs to be broken up by using headlines that reflect the subject of the paragraph(s) to follow so that people can scan down to the parts that really interest them, or use bulleted lists to change the pace of the writing and slow down the scanning.

And finally there ought to be no spelling errors on the website.

Making your website's content more legible is easy. It takes only a bit of common sense.
