Default Re: I am so "wordy!"
Hi Jules,

Your 'wordy' site looks nice! You have done some nice things with the text that helps the text look 'lighter.' Using some orange & bolded text, sections that you've indented & highlighted with the yellow bar, these help to break up the look of lots of text.

So you are right! Embrace your wordiness! Just dress it up in slimming format! (I sound so Stacy & Clinton, don't I?)

Lezly


on edit: What size font do most of you use for your main content?

I've had a really difficult time with my Home, About & Rates pages. My text does not look light - it looks heavy & because there is a lot of it - it doesn't compel one to read it. When I make the font smaller, it makes it less 'in your face' but still lots to read.

I knew, for me, that content was going to be the hardest part of creating a website.

- thanks, Lezly. Separating different areas to set them apart did help to dress it up and slim it down, that's for sure.

I use a 14px font for most of mine.

ETA: Without a lot of digging around here - what's the URL to your site? Maybe I can offer a bit of help with your wordy or font problem.
