About ten years ago I was shopping in uptown Minneapolis shortly before Christmas. Traffic was congested as people scrambled to buy last minute gifts. At one point in the afternoon I stood with half a dozen strangers as we waited for a crosswalk to change.

Ultimately, your goal is to connect with your perfect client and have him or her sign up for counseling, workshops, seminars, etc. Your number one priority is to ensure people can easily read your content. One of the ways you can guarantee legibility is to use web appropriate fonts (typefaces). Many novices love to get creative with web text.
