Top 10 Fonts Web Designers Love
When I was starting out with
Web and graphic design
, I was always wondering about the fonts that real designers use. So I conducted a research to find out the most popular fonts designers like to use, their best practices, and also out of personal curiosity, their
typographical needs
. It would be nice to know which font is good for which situation and today I am sharing with you the results of my research.
Through a combination of data collected from Polldaddy, Forrst, Facebook and Twitter, I got feedback from 34 designers from 14 countries answering questions about their favorite fonts and explaining to me why they love them. By analysing all the input submitted I have uncovered some interesting information, which has been put together in an
infographic
by friends in

Web Design Features that Inspire Visitors to Subscribe
There are several success factors in online business and promotion of a website to Google’s TOP-10: good site (web design), good contents, white hat SEO methods and helpful information/products/services for visitors. A website with an attractive and functional design, informative and SEO friendly content, as well as popular products and services offered, will certainly flourish. However, lots of site owners and webmasters fail to find the golden mean, i.e. focus on tech details that all in all, make a website totally unusable for ordinary people who came to a site not to evaluate design elements SEO-friendliness of content.
It is not a secret that the goal of all webmasters and site owners is to receive traffic from search engines, social networks etc. However, the just having folks visiting the site is not enough. Web traffic is then converted into registrations, sales, subscriptions and so on. In other words, it is imperative to force visitors stay at the site and make them love it. Using the right web design features is one of the methods for persuading visitors to register or even buy a product. Sure, having appealing content is a must as well, however, suitable and effective web design still plays its role. Listed below are web design elements that may inspire visitors to register and even place orders.
Promotion Elements
For instance, a visitor may locate the site in search engines for a particular keyword. There might be many web pages designed for different keywords, still the site may have one goal – to make visitors register or buy a product.

A visitor may click on it or bookmark the site to have a look at this offer later on. Be reasonable, since an excessive number of banners will definitely scare potential customers off. One or two banners is enough. Even if the site earns money through advertizing (for example, getting commission for clicks), misuse of banners and pop-ups will negatively impact users’ surfing experience, and consequently, decrease the number of registrations.
