3 Ways To Discover If You Have A Web-Friendly Font
1. Ask your Grandma to read it
If your grandma is anything like mine, she will be brutally honest. Have someone above 65 read the font. I love a good cursive/ script font for my Squaresapce or Showit website as much as the next person, but if it is illegible it is ineffective.
2. Add a web-safe alternative
Did you know every device comes with pre-installed font selection? What does this mean? If you purchased your font from Creative Marketplace and didn’t install the font on the website and it’s not pulling from a web-friendly place, it will default to a basic font.
3. Choose a web-safe font
If you want to be sure you’re good to go on the font front, choose a basic font like one of the below:
Courier (Sans-serif/ Serif mix)
Ariel (Sans-serif)
Georgia (Serif)
Times New Roman (Serif)
Garamond (Serif and one of my faves for an elegant look!
Verdana (Sans-serif)

I’ve got messy hair and a thirsty heart.
I overshare my life, and have an ultra-expressive personality.
Elphaba from Wicked is kind of my alter-ego as I am always trying to forge my own path and make a difference in the World, somehow, someway, while also constantly criticizing myself and trying to become the better version of me.
Quality conversations + coffee come easy to me.
I’ve never had an issue connecting naturally with others (probs because I can go on and on about my life story, not that it is interesting, I just process externally, anyone else?!)
I find so much joy in helping and serving others and I give myself fully to whatever it is that engages me, whether that is running a 50k or creating a website in a day.
