Font and Design Mistakes on Websites
Do your eyes get tired when you read a lot online?
Mine do. I spend about 8 hours a day online. Yes, that’s a lot, but every day I’m writing and/or reading for information or entertainment.
I’ve found that websites with difficult fonts and/or backgrounds make my eyes feel as if acid has been poured into them.
In fact, I’ve got where I avoid websites with those problems.

Plan your website well and always with consideration for those you hope to attract to it. According to website design experts, readability is of primary importance.
10 Things to Avoid in Website Design
1. Website themes with black or dark backgrounds and white or other light colored fonts.
Some think a dark dramatic background is evocative. Have pity on those who spend a lot of time reading online. This white text on black tires the eye.
2. Run from fonts in fluorescent orange, yellow, lime, etc. Those colors make the font seem to pulsate before the viewers’ eyes.
3. Please don’t use different fonts for everything on the virtual page. That’s simply not good design. In fact, it looks “busy” like plaid or stripes on broadcast television. Pick 1 font. Use bold or italic of that font for specific elements on your website.
4. Avoid using weird fonts like 28 Days Later, Black Adder, Old English, or Vivaldi. Those fonts are difficult for most people to read.
7. Make use of white space. Content with huge text blocks tend to look like a gigantic page stretching from top to bottom. Web readers’ eyes glaze over.
Make your website easy on the eyes and appealing to the brain, and you’ll have plenty of website visitors who return often.
