You can also use subheads to divide large areas of text into shorter pieces. Write subheads in bold, a larger size, or a different typeface. Avoid using all capital letters, as they are difficult to read and take up more space. Make sure text stands out against your background color. There must be high contrast in order for it to be readable.
Textured backgrounds can also make text difficult to read.
Complex backgrounds with high-contrast patterns make text virtually unreadable. Colors will dither, or look grainy, on monitors that cannot display them. White text on black is also difficult to read. When it comes to colors, the fewer the better. One strong color used with black and an accent color looks confident and professional.
