1. Is the main body copy readable?
Its no surprise that big fonts are easier to read than smaller fonts. It doesn’t take a genius to work that out. However lots of designers still insist on using 10px, or 1em size fonts for the main copy of their websites.
This is an issue that really gets to me, especially on sites where content really is king. Surely its common sense to make the text as readable as possible when the main purpose of your site is to sell something, or get your visitors to read an article?
When we talk about readability some people take it to the extreme. For want of a better example, in my opinion 1.6em is too big for main body copy and a design will suffer because of it, but no one can deny that text that size is very very comfortable to read. I believe common sense is the name of the game here. As long as the copy on your site is comfortable to read then you’ve covered this point.
