Does my font look good in this?

Apologies for the title, but a serious point here....

We (like a lot of people) spend time on almost mechanical on-page optimisation. However, we are finally moving our thinking to our visitors and what works for them - not the search engines. I know, about time.

With that in mind we have de-cluttered our content pages and increased font sizes - focussing on usability more.

This is an example of a tweaked page - http://www.compactlaw.co.uk/free-legal-information/employment-law/exceptions-for-unfair-dismissal.html

This is an un-tweaked page - http://www.compactlaw.co.uk/agency-agreement.html

Which do you prefer to read/look at??

Hi

This page is much better, so easy to read compared to the other.  http://www.compactlaw.co.uk/free-legal-information/employment-law/exceptions-for-unfair-dismissal.html

Initially I didn't spot the blue text in your content as it closely matches the grey. It's not just about font but also thinking about colour and people's vision as they age, or for those who are colour blind.

Hi Christina

Thank you for the feedback.

We have tweaked the link colour to #0066cc;

It helps the links stand out a little more - hopefully.

That's better.  Looking very crisp, clean and clear.

To be honest we looked at Moz and a bunch in here in the UK called Clearleft - http://clearleft.com/thinks/

On a side note, you apologize for the title of your question but looking at the number of views for each of the questions this morning, this one has quite a few views compared to the others. An example of a good title increasing clicks, I think.

Just a bit of fun - but seems to have worked.

(What we do is dry and serious, so writing an interesting title is a bit of a relief.)

As others have said, definitely the new/tweaked version, it's a big improvement, nice work!
