 Seven Ways to improve the readability of webpages

Author: camellia research Date: Document Type: translated from: camellia Research Institute

original article: improve the readability of your Web page

1. use contrast colors (use contrasting colours ).
the comparison here is the comparison between the text color and the background color. In this way, users can easily see the text and reduce reading fatigue. People with Visual Impairment may not see low-contrast text. You can go to the
vischeck website to check whether your website looks like a weak (or blind) user.

2. compress text into small pieces ("chunk up" your copy). large pieces of high-density text make your users feel overloaded and restrained. TIPS:

  • use a list (OR 1-2-3) and subtitle.
  • keep the paragraph short.
  • bold or different colors are used for important points of view, so that users who are not patient and quick to browse can grasp the key points.
  • Use columns to control text width.)

3. Avoid a messy background (avoid busy backgrounds), so that the text can be easily viewed.

4. Less is better (less is better). The more messy things are placed on the page, the more confusing and distracting users, and the less concentrated reading. The website does not seem professional enough. Do you really have to worry about it before you put anything in it?

5. use a recognizable font (strive for a clean font style for maximum readability .)

6. the text should not be too small (don't use itsy-bitsy font sizes ). ant text is hard to read quickly. It would be better if the user could control it.

7. make your links look like links ). if it is not a standard blue link, it is best to underline it. It is not a link text. It is best not to underline it.
