Don’t set all text in all capitals, bold, or Italics. Using these text stylists is overkill and take away from the text in the website. It makes reading extra difficult and the order of importance gets removed and the reader has difficult time understanding the important information of the website.

Don’t set text too small or big. Both spectrums deter the reader from reading the information. Especially small text, it makes it very difficult for readers to read and make out the text.
