Even though you have mentioned the font size to have a big part, you forget to mention one, the type of font. We have seen that there are differences when we change the type of font. Different age group like different fonts. Even if the Comic Sans may look good to a child, it will be really unprofessional if you place it in your company website.

i can atest that larger “scream at you font do drive more conversion” in marketing you fighting for attention and if a Big RED in caps BOOK IT NOW with exclamation works use.

at first i was scared to be “pushy”, but after a test on two landing pages “one with simple text, and other with large CLICK ME text” i learned that text size and style plays a major role.

I haven’t tried the 7 line paragraph rule. I’m going to now.

thanks for the article.

Yes, it’s true. Most of our efforts are focused on bringing up sales or user friendly applications but simple things such as font size is a significant factor for user/visitor satisfaction.

Great blog post, I had not seen much written previously about testing done on font size, definitely from a readability and usability point of view it helps, but great to see some testing on conversion rates. Thanks Will!

Too much fancy fonts will never work. AlSO don’t use too many colors. It is quite irritating.

Keep it simple and in harmony with other elements. If you make the font bigger than other elements it doesn’t work.

It took me a long time to force my design instinct aside and go for larger fonts. (Larger fonts can leave large white-space gaps when 3 words barely do not fit within the width so the last word is pushed to the next line). However, it really does work and, with a little tweaking, you can get that text to fit with the largest size possible.

A quick class or two in grammar, spelling, and punctuation will make your writing more readable. There’s nothing worse than trying to read articles with misspelled words, misplaced punctuation, pronouns without an antecedent, or other misuses of the English language. Sure English is a living language so why not take it down a well-kept path rather than dragging it through the mud. The meaning you achieve will be more clear, easier to grasp, and without the frustration of wanting to find a red pencil.

This makes perfect sense. When I am looking for something online, I usually do a google search, open up a few websites in tabs, and click through them ctrl+F-ing for what I’m looking for. If I don’t find it (because it was in a flash element or whatever) I close the tab and move on. More searchable text! less good for nothing pictures!
