Arial Bold +2

This font is Arial at its default size. It is fairly easy to read (but not as easy as Verdana).

Text

Body copy can go on and on but it's important to break-up the information with a bit of white space or a picture now and then.

Attention

The use of bold text headings can direct the reader's attention. Try to help your readers find information easily.

Brevity

The use of short paragraphs is a must if you want anyone to read what you say. Too much copy without these line breaks can cause your readers to skip the text entirely.

See how stark this sentence seems by contrast?

Here's another reminder about bizarre color combinations. Different doesn't always mean better.
