			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Throughout the past few years Typography for the web has been going through some changes. Before designers were unable to work with fonts they wanted without using images of the text. Most browsers will only read certain types of system fonts which has hindered the designers creativity. We have been constantly searching new tricks and ways to display better fonts in browsers and nothing has really seemed to work well with search engines. Until recently there has been a new way to create editable text in web browsers&#8230;..<span id="more-319"></span>The &#8220;Scalable Inman Flash Replacement&#8221; or sIFR for short. This technique uses a combination of images text and flash to create editable text content readable by search engines for web browsers. Compatible on Macs, Windows and Linux machines with javascript on.</p>
<p>So with all that being said lets talk a moment about good Typography practices. Every web page or design needs to first start with a clear a readable font. I mean readable especially at smaller text sizes. When you have smaller text your height or &#8220;x-height&#8221; as we call it needs to be higher and also the space between the letters needs to be a bit larger. Ok now for contrast and why we thrive on it. It is important to keep in mind that you should switch it up and have different types of fonts in a design to generate interest and a personality. But don&#8217;t go crazy with this idea because some fonts can just as easily resist each other. But also having them very similar will not create enough contrast which can make for a weak design. So I recommend keeping it simple and fun. Sans serif fonts are great for heading areas to display call to action for posters, flyers, business cards and many other print work. These sans serif fonts can be read easily when larger in size and the letters are closer together. Serif fonts are better for body copy and smaller heading areas. Hope this information helps with any of your Typography questions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many people believe that content on the web is just text that has been added to a site to tell about the company. It information is actually much much more than this. A Web sites content is the backbone of what a Web site is there to do. All of this important content needs to be relevant to the business and quickly and directly tell the target market what it is this business does before losing there interest in a sea of letters and paragraphs.<span id="more-135"></span>Good content is comprised of a combination of text, professional photographs, well thought out graphics and also the overall layout of the Web site. A good combination of these factors will result in a &#8220;sticky&#8221; page. What does being sticky have to do with a Web site? This basically just means that you want people to stay for a while and take a look around. They want to see what your site has to offer them. Brains process information quicker with images, so this is where these come in handy. Having to much text with lose the interest of your visitors. They didn&#8217;t come to your site to read a novel and frankly they really just don&#8217; t care to put in the extra effort. So make content straight forward, short and to the point using keywords that are relative to the type of business.</p>
