Website Customization • Colors & Fonts

Customizing a website to fit to the standards of today can be a cumbersome task. The amount of technology available on the internet is tremendous and to stay up the current times is not as easy as it used to be. Here are a few things to look out for when designing a website to look professional.

Font Use

Keep the fonts with the formality of the website in mind. A business site should make the font as well readable and presentable as possible. A simple sans-serif type font would work well. On the other hand, a more artistic website, perhaps a fine art site, may want to use a more fanciful font in it’s work.

Website Theme

Make sure the theme of the website matches the company or organization it represents. If the website was made for a food company, it would make sense to stick to that particular category, rather than revert to a different theme.

Color Matching

Try and design the website with matching colors. If the theme of the website is darker than normal, try and keep the amount of bright colors to a minimum. Be sure to never mix two very different colors, such as yellow and purple.

Everything ‘By Design’

“If it’s a good idea and it gets you excited, try it, and if it bursts into flames, that’s going to be exciting too. People always ask, ‘What is your greatest failure?’ I always have the same answer – We’re working on it right now, it’s gonna be awesome!
