In the thousands of website designs
that I look at in the course of a year, I run across
this problem with over 50% of them; backgrounds that
are so intense that you can’t read the text. Some
of the worst offenders are sites with water backgrounds.
Other offenders have sites with dark picture backgrounds
and then use white type That is hard on the eyes! Don't
do it!
If you are going to have a photo or image background
in your website design, make sure you lighten it up
as much as possible. That way the text should still
be readable.
The best way to make your text readable is by having
dark text on a light background. Not everyone wants
to have black text on a white background as it is here,
but it is the most readable. If you want a little more
color on your page you can use pastel colors like beige,
light yellow and other neutral soft colors. As long
as the text is readable! Remember people are looking
for information, not pretty pictures (unless you are
an artist).
Go to some of the websites for companies like: IBM,
AT&T, Ford and Microsoft. When I wrote this article,
all had white backgrounds. Some used dark gray, dark
blue or a reddish type, but all were very readable.
That should be the first priority when you are selecting
backgrounds and text colors.
