Web typography became an ongoing

development projects in very early stages for

a long time. The Internet has been around

since january 31st 1958, United States launched

Explorer I. Designers did not have the advan–

tage to do what we are capable of to manipu–

late hypertext in webpages. It has come to a

time where the designers are developing the

expression of our time. We have seen web art

developed much earlier than design, because

it was so experimental and nothing was set to

stone. In our time designers are becoming

engineers within the web because they have the

need of create a grid or an architectural structure

and hierarchy of pages and content that needs

to be portrayed in a page. Before this era many

people enjoyed anything movable and experimental

no matter how it looked as longed as we click to

another page. It was exciting to connect pages.

This site is dedicated to web designers that want to

use typography in their sites within a structure

that will help the readability of its audience. Also

there are example from basic rules to advanced

levels such as interactive hypertext samples.

Web browsers are the basic information to know,

before you create your website. Many browsers will

display your website differently. Therefore, before

you have your final and published website, please

check every page that you have created with the

following browsers:

Worldwide browsers statistics October 2007

Microsoft Internet Explorer 66.30%

Mozilla Firefox 25.49%

Opera 1.24%

WebKit Source Project Safari 1.77%

Netscape 0.11%

Browsers size in our user screens

above 1024 x 768 pixels = 26%

1024 x 768 pixels = 56%

800 x 600 pixels = 14%

640 x 480 pixels = 0%

unknown = 6%

Also, keep in mind that the user will be also getting

access to your website through other devices such

as i–phone, cell–phone, etc.

Designers have to use simplicity and a good orga-

nization system within the information that we need

to create so the user will have an easier access

from the head, menu, body, to a footnote, every

pixel matters. For more information please visit:
