Readable text is one of most important aspects of good website design. After all, visitors are here to read website content, aren’t they?

High contrast of your text and background is very important for readability-for example black text on white background is much easier to read than yellow text on orange background.

Another big factor that will impact this is choosing right font. Usually webdesigner/coder chooses font family of standard fonts present on every computer. Some fonts are standard for Windows and some are standard for Mac. That is the reason why you specify more than one font. To see how each font will look like you can use some online tools to test before you choose:

1. Type Tester

Allows you to test 3 types in same time. You can adjust font family, size, font and background colors, aligment etc.

2. Css Type

Only one type at a time, but this one gives you preview of normal, bold, italic, bold italic, uppercase and lowercase text in same time. Also, you can set line height and take a look of paragraphs.
