The background color of the page should be white. Avoid using background images under text. Other text colors may be used within a page, but should be used sparingly. Pages containing information to be printed out should fit on a standard sheet of paper. This avoids tiling and other undesirable effects when wider pages are printed.
Bold text is readable, but keep in mind that a page with lots of boldface text is hard to read.
All-caps text is also more difficult for the reader than normal text, so use it sparingly. Do not center a paragraph of text, and use very sparingly blinking or scrolling text. The components of the footer are the text menu, the copyright statement, and the maintenance information. Instead of creating footers from scratch, copy the code for it from the template page.
