Re: [Digital BW] Help with new site, comments welcom...

2003-11-16 by Sam McCandless

Jeff's site worked well for me and my Mac with Internet Explorer 
5.1.7. It came up fast despite my slow connection. The image quality 
seemed fine to me. My only suggestions have to do with the site's 
typography. I'd reconsider the type faces used for heads and 
sub-heads because they seem to me too spindly, at least in the weight 
in which their faces are used. I wouldn't use the shorter lines on 
every other line on the text pages, and I'd center the captions under 
the images. I think the face used for text would also work well in 
slightly larger sizes for heads and sub-heads. If it's not Verdana, 
I'd try substituting Verdana because Microsoft has ensured that 
almost every computer has it, and it (and its companion, Georgia) 
work at least as well as any other screen face.
