    ps and image ready fonts not sharp

    I took a crack at designing a site for a friend still in progress but on the web

    the background is grey the text is black.... it s a small site.

    Designed everything in PS the text etc and rollovers in imageready

    ps and image ready fonts not sharp

    Hi laura...

    Text in PS is usually anti-aliased (smoothed out through minor edge blurring). This is why it doesn't appear as sharp/clean as some type does in a browser.

    This can be fixed if you like.
    The fonts you're using are sans serif, so you can probably set the anti-alias option on your type layers to 'none'. This will create much cleaner looking text. But be forewaned that not all fonts handle this well. Some will have a distinct 'pixelated' look to them. Others will look just fine; usually depending on their size.

    As for the Website itself...
    You made a real big booboo in the design laura. [oops]
    On each subpage you have no menu. No menu to allow the visitor to navigate back to the home page, or any of the other subpages. You need to fix that right away. If left as is a visitor may well just leave the site as soon as they see there's no navigation to be used.
    Simple text links will suffice.
