This means making it easy for people to recognise words, sentences, and phrases. The easier it is to read, the more users will be able to take in when they scan over your site and decide whether yours is worth investigating further.
To create content that is easy to read, try these tips:
• Contrast is key – It’s important to have contrast between your text and it’s background so that the text is clear. For example, it’s much easier to read this text than it is this text.
• Size matters – Make sure not to make your typeface too small, this can make it difficult to read, especially for older people or people with visual impairments. You should be able to read the text just by glancing, we recommend at least 14(pt/px) on average.
• The right fonts for the right jobs – A calligraphy script typeface may look nice in large headings but will be hard to read at smaller sizes so don’t use it for your body text. For this, you’ll want to use something which is clear and clean so it can be easily read without too much effort.
