It’s important that your cosmetic surgery website, or any website for that matter, be designed with ‘browser safe’ fonts. The type of font that you use for text can make a big difference in the appearance of your site. But because it can also make a difference in the usability of your site, choosing the right font not only requires a sense of aesthetics but a sense of restraint as well.
Browser safe fonts are those fonts which have been preinstalled in operating systems. If you choose a font that is not a browser safe one, visitors coming to your cosmetic surgery site will not be able to read the text on your site without first installing your font type. Listed below are those standard fonts that come preinstalled in both Windows and Macintosh computers. The best approach is to choose three of these browser safe fonts, at least one of which is available in Macintosh and one in Windows.
