When selecting a background color for your web page, make sure you select a background that will compliment your text and overall design.

Selecting the Best Background for a Web Site

• Busy backgrounds make text difficult to read and draw the attention away from the text.
• Always be consistent with your background theme on each page of your web site
• Colors affect your mood and will have an effect on your visitors as well. Bright colors, such as yellow and orange, will cause you to become more cheerful or happy. While colors, such as blue and purple, have a calming effect. Dark colors such as brown and black may cause you to become depressed.

A good rule of thumb is to select colors based upon the type of affect you’re trying to achieve.

Selecting the Best Font Style for a Web Page

When selecting fonts for your text, keep in mind, reading on a computer screen is much more difficult than paper. Try to use a true type font, such as Arial or Verdana, and avoid fancy fonts that are difficult to read.

The appearance of your web site can mean the difference between your success and failure.
