Everything you need to know about Search Engine Optimization, PPC advertising, Social Media Marketing, Conversion Rates, Affiliate Marketing, through Google Plus Optimization, along with full Writing and Blogging tips, including: SEO Copywriting, Article and E-book Writing as well as Guest Blogging enchanted with Graphic & Web Design, Video Editing along with Web Development.

The essential thing to worry about, when creating a web-site, besides the overall “look” of it, is the way in which the web-designer organizes the textual part of the web-site. The text is very important since the potential visitors are counting on it to find out what the web-site is about. The text is considered the most common way to “speak” with the web-site visitors, besides various sound and video clips. Fonts are used when web-designers are creating, for example, a logo, or a header, or footer, or anything else that can be read on the web-site, naturally. It is rather important to have a good looking, unique and creative font type. In order to be different and stand out, when compared to the competition. It is not advisable for a web-designer to use the most common and default fonts that all the other uninformed web-designers use. It is usually a good and prosperous risk to take to “look outside the box” and find an uncommon font to use for a web-site.

It is important to note that there are sources where anyone can download unique fonts free of charge. A good and beautiful font type can help a lot when starting a project, both for commercial web-sites or for web-sites used for personal purposes. In my experience and “humble” opinion the following are the 3 best looking and unique fonts available on the internet.

  1. Fontabric (download link: http://fontfabric.com/)

This company comes from the capital of Bulgaria, Sofia. There are various fonts that have exceptional quality and have a very unique design. New fonts are uploaded every week. There is a great number of fonts that are free to download. Also, there are fonts that require from the customer to pay a small amount of money in order to download them. The company provides a service that has logos and fonts designed for various types of businesses that can have various desires. This web-site is a good option to chose, if a person is looking for fonts that will help his or her web-site be unique and good looking.

  1. Impallari (download link: http://www.impallari.com/)
     

This web-site is owned by an independent group of people. It features various types of fonts categorized in various groups (serious, playful, etc.). Every font type can be edited in terms of style and weight. There are that fonts come with alternative letters that can be used besides the default ones. This gives a web-designer more artistic freedom over the design of the letters, and he or she has more control over the typography in general. The web-site has been updated several times. Various tools that help the font designing process have been added. For example, on the 23rd of April 2012, a Font Testing Page has been introduced, that helps the web-designer test his or her font type online. This is, in my opinion, a very useful tool.

  1. My Fonts (download link: http://www.webmaster-tips.net/Webmaster-Tips/Web-Design-Tips/Top-Free-Font-Sources-for-Creating-Unique-Designs.html)
     

This is the world’s largest font database. This web-site, like the one mentioned above, has the option to examine and try out the font before the web-designer downloads it. It also offers the visitor to rate a particular font; he or she can add a particular font to an album and compare it to similar font types. All these options are very good because they help the web-designer organize his or her favorites. The search engine is very good and there are many ways to find the desired font type dedicated for any kind of business, and for personal use. However, for most fonts, if the customer desires to use the font for commercial use, then he or she has to pay a small fee for that.

In conclusion, it is a fact that, in most cases, when people have to look for any sort of information on the internet, they go into this process with knowing that they will have to read something. So, a good looking, unique and well designed font is in most cases the most important thing to worry about when working on a web-site. The fonts available, when the reader follows the links in brackets mentioned above, have, in my experience, proven to be very bifacial. The fees for them (if any) are very low, and definitely worth it. It is important to follow the links in order to get additional information, because this article is just a brief overview of the entire topic. It is up to the web-designer to choose the perfect font that will suit his or her designing needs.
