Web fonts have a great subconscious effect on the impression your site gives to visitors. Is it formal or casual? Modern or traditional? Serious or friendly? Warm or cool? These feelings can be conveyed instantly, even if the visitors may never consciously notice the Web fonts used on your site. Small business website design specify any font installed on your computer, but if you stray from using the standard fonts that everyone has installed on their computers, the viewer won't see your fonts as intended.

Times New Roman is a Windows serif font that looks like something you'd see in a newspaper or magazine. It's specially hinted for easier reading on-screen, but Microsoft's free font Georgia is really a better typeface for the screen. Times are a Mac serif font. It's similar to Times New Roman, but it isn't as carefully designed for on-screen viewing.

Georgia is a Microsoft's serif face. It's much easier to read on screen than other serif Web fonts because it was designed for the screen. Georgia has excellent italics that are easy to read and attractive. Arial is a Windows sans serif font that has a streamlined, more modern look, but isn't easy to read on screen because it's narrow and can look very light in smaller sizes. Helvetica is a Mac sans serif font similar to Arial. Verdana is an extremely easy-to-read sans serif font that's included with the Internet Explorer.
Mac users can download it for free.

Tahoma comes with Microsoft Office and is almost identical to Verdana.
Mac users can download it for free. Comic Sans MS is a sans serif font that's included with the Internet Explorer. It's informal and friendly, which is great for some Web sites, but not professional enough for others. They have over 100,000 TrueType, PostScript and Open Type fonts from Adobe, Monotype, ITC, and others.
