Chapter 6. Thinking About Text
Most of the content on your site will probably take the form of text. Just like you took some time at the beginning of the project to plan the structure and the layout of your site, it's worth thinking about the form that your text will take. You want text that is easy to read on screen. More than that, you want text that is easy to skim, because most of your visitors don't have the patience to sift through your copy word for word, no matter how crisp, no matter how scintillating. Your visitors want you to get to the point. They want main ideas. They want results. Also, reading on screen is a chore. Headaches and eyestrain are par for the course. You want to do what you can to minimize the burden. This chapter gets you thinking in the right direction. By planning through how to present text on your site, you increase the accessibility of your content for everyone, not just those with disabilities. |
