Checklist

  • Use sans-serif fonts for easy readability.
  • Use dark font colors on light backgrounds (preferably use black text on a white background).
  • Avoid extremely bright colors as a background color.
  • Use one font throughout the site.
  • Avoid overuse of all CAPS, bold, or italics.
  • Avoid underlining words, as the screen reader can mistake it for a navigation link.
