Simple Rules to Follow When Creating Web pages

• No underlining unless you are showing a link. Use italics or bold to show contrast or to emphasize.
• Do not use more than one exclamation mark. If you feel you need to than you need a different word.
• Consistency throughout your site, usually, with font type face (no more than 2), font sizes (no more than 2 or 3), color, and placement of information.
• Show contrast
• Show Alignment
• For titles, headings or short bulleted sentences, you can use sans-serf type fonts
• Use serf type fonts for writing long paragraphs. Serf type fonts helps to guide the reader through the page content.
• Create another page if the information you have is not all visible without scrolling down.
