There are variations in responses people have to text, but for the most part, there's a general range of what's prefered by the masses. Since web pages are solely created to communicate to people, it makes sense that time spent understanding readers' responses to text would be crucial in web design. I understood that from your article. I teach reading and have read a lot on how the eye moves across the page, how information is brought in through text, font type and size, color and so on. Overall you have a good general point, people don't want to work to read. Key points I like are... 1. don't use small text,
2. use contrasting colors that aren't too stark,
3. create line spacing that doesn't over-crowd (1,5) and,
4. use white space. I love sites where there's just enough text on a screen to allow me to fully engage in it before scrolling. Everyone wants a pleasurable web experience, especially those wanting traffic! |
