Website type needs to carry information clearly. A customer should be able to scan services, read the conditions and complete an enquiry without struggling with small labels or decorative text.

For a Darwin business, the type system also helps express the brand. Use a small number of styles and test them in the pages customers actually read.

Give headings clear jobs

Use the main heading to explain the page and section headings to organise its content. Keep the wording specific. A striking font cannot rescue a heading that says little about the service.

Set a consistent size and weight for each heading level. That makes a new page easier to scan and avoids a different visual hierarchy in every section.

Make the body text comfortable

Choose a readable body font with enough size and line spacing. Keep paragraphs reasonably short and avoid stretching text across the full desktop width.

On mobile, check the text at an ordinary viewing distance. Pricing notes and conditions need the same care as the promotional introduction.

Use emphasis with a purpose

Use bold text for the point the reader needs to notice, rather than highlighting whole paragraphs. Make links recognisable and give them wording that describes the destination.

The plain copy guide covers sentence and paragraph choices. Good typography and clear writing support the same task.

Check forms and buttons

Labels should remain visible when the customer starts typing. Button text needs enough space and should not wrap awkwardly at smaller widths. Check long email addresses and service names too.

The mobile website guide provides task checks that often reveal text problems missed in a desktop mockup.

Keep the system easy to maintain

Record the approved font families and heading styles. Use them for later pages, campaign content and form additions. Confirm that locally hosted fonts or external font services load correctly after deployment.

Our custom website design in Darwin connects typography with page structure and brand direction. The goal is a consistent site that customers can read and use.
