    I am confused on the best website font. Right now I feel mine is too small, but after changing it, it honestly does not seem right to me, it appears to big. I have my font set at verdana and the width of my site is set at 950. Any suggestions? Some pages only have a little text while other pages have a lot.

    I was gonna make a little bit bigger or even like this is not so bad. Maybe try Arial or Times New Roman. Play with it. I like your website.

    My main problem is that me personally, I like it, but looking at other websites, mine seems much smaller. And I just feel if the font when they first go on, or try to read any of the information pages, or find it hard to read the text on the sideboxes will be instantly turned off and leave. Since my site has a realtivly high conversion rate, if 10% of people are turned off by the font, its bad for me.

    I guess the hardest part is how zen cart is, there are different text sizes for different pages. I think I will try different font sizes. Since I was told verdana was pretty standard I have not really touched that.

    Thanks for the input.

    sarguna3: When you say reduce the style do you mean use it less or or lower the size of bold words?

    I will use 12 or 14 for text size for my web pages, my thinking is for people with poor eyesight which can happen in any age group. I mainly use the Arial font.

    Very nice website!

    Thank you everyone for your comments I am going to take another stab at changing it, it just takes a little time with zen cart, especially when its as customized as I have it because its not one simple part to change. I will post when I finally get it changed for maybe some comments. Thank you all
