Re: Tips for making better websites

Something else that isn't good - text walls!

It's easy to write a huge paragraph of words, put it on the site and be done. But it will turn the viewer away, and it's unlikely that they'll actually read the whole thing! Instead, space it out with some pictures, pull-out quotes, etc.

I do have a question for you, people of CD - our team has a font that we use in almost all of our publications as headings, it's our logo font, etc. The font is called Marker Felt, and it feels very playful, much like Comic Sans. I spent most of the summer working on a redesign of our very old website, and ran into a snag with the typography... Because we use Marker Felt in everything, it's been requested of me to use Marker Felt as the headings on the website.

Personally, I don't think it's too bad, but I'd like to see a general consensus from CD on this... Here's 2 screenshots of how it looks (attached).
