Font Try not to use more than 2 or 3 different font types. Unusual fonts won t be recognized by the computers of most visitors and will load with the computer s default font. There are several Public Works websites that exemplify the mentioned tips. Claremont s website is neat and organized. There are links to different divisions and the city s homepage.
Information is easy to locate, including contact information.
The Somersworth Public Works Department also has an effective website. Visually, it is interesting to look at, boasting construction-related graphics and even animation. A small amount of animation can be pleasing if it loads quickly. The overall effect is practical and not overwhelming. Links are clearly defined, the background and text colors contrast well, and the Department s homepage fits on one screen.
