When a web page is designed, a lot of analysis should go into the site before the first page is built. Things like page structure and page design dramatically effect the viewers experience when the visit a site.

Building great pages is real science. Integrated does a pretty good job . . . but some sites are just awful, and have no consideration for, ah, aging eyes . . . .

In college, they used to teach something called "The LeCour's Color Table of Recognition". It's obvious that too many people building pages must have skipped learning that, and I've questioned many graduating Computer Science students - they don't teach it anymore! . A good page should be easy to read, easy to navigate, and have a pleasing structure. Flash and Dazzle have their place, but few web sites need gimmicks, they really need an adult to review them before they are placed on the web !

You can change the way your browser displays text, making the size smaller or larger, defining a default color combination to use, and how to handle colors and other graphic representations you see when viewing pages on the web. Start your browser and look under preferences or properties.

You may also instruct your browser to increase or decrease the size or the text you view on a single page - look under view.

 

Here's a few samples :
