Page Problems - Readability

Text isn't legible or hard to read

If your text doesn't show up properly on the page, try changing the font colour or the background colour or image of the page - it might just do the trick.

Font Type

Specify a font for your page - if you don't you are relying on the default font of your system or editor package. The problem with this is if you have some unusual font as your default it may not be available to others viewing you page and consequently the look could be diminished from what you had intended. Also your potential visitors will be using different platforms such as PC and Mac, the PC has fonts available to it that the Mac doesn't and visa-versa. So if you want your page to be displayed in a specified font - name it. Because of the differences in the various platforms it is best to specify several fonts like this:

<font face="Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Your text here</font>

Font Size

Fonts too large - if you have designed your page a 1024X768 with largish fonts they will look huge at 800X600. Keep checking the relative sizes by switching resolutions on your PC and find the size which give the best compromise.

Professional web designers have ways around this problem one of the methods is to detect the users screen resolution and redirect them to pages designed for that resolution.

Table(s) off the screen when other view my page

Again this is a problem of different users with different screen resolutions. Fairly simple to fix - you have set your tables to be "x" number of pixels wide change this to percentage and the table(s) will automatically resize to the users screen resolution.
