Hello guys,
I have been painting for about a year, and have recently set up my own website. ALL my friends and family said it was great, but then the other day another friend told me she could not read the writing ATALL!!! This is due to the colours i have used for the font. So now I am wondering if everyone else was lying to me, or if she is just blind!! My mum said she could read it fine and she normally struggles with bright colours, so I need an outsiders opinion I think. Would be grateful if you could check it out and let me know how you find the colours of the font in the main bulk of writing. (and any other feedback!)
Thanks

P.S.
I am still at the total newbie stage of copying other peoples designs, for example, Kristal, I obviously stole the eyeball one from you, hope you dont mind? I am trying to get more creative and original with my designs.... I'm getting there!
But don't worry everyone I painted them all myself and did not STEAL any ones photos!!

I really like your site, and I had no difficulty reading the font. The purple was a little dark but easily readable.

Also, I love the kitty face on the front page! I really struggled with them today, I did several kitties - a couple I was happy with but most, not so much.

I can read it with no problem. I wonder if your friend is color blind? The purple does take a wee bit more focusing than the yellow. Nice site!

yeah for me the yellow is harder to read. i like the purple.

i'm not sure if i'm getting that effect because it switches back and forth between the two colors.

Nothing but a black screen comes up when I try to go to your site. Maybe you're working on it?

Great site! I did have a little trouble reading the purple text, but the colors were not changing and the yellow text was fine. Hope that helps Smile

hmmmm...... okay, thanks heaps everyone for your feedback. obviously it is not the perfect colours, as some of you had trouble focusing, but at least none of you said you could not read it at all! I was really happy with the colour scheme until my friend commented, so I am not sure what to do. I will take on board all your comments and have a play around with it.
Thanks again for your time

Here is the problem. It is flashed based site. So, on a high resolution monitor, the fonts are impossibly SMALL and, if the monitor is bright, the colors would clash badly.

Best practice, have the site rebuilt using CSS instead of flash, and offer several style sheets based on browsers.

Actually, I still can't read anything at all. The screen still just comes up black. If I highlight the text, this is what I can read:

"Contact me for all your face painting needs in the Adelaide area ~ fetes, kids parties, corporate functions, schools, promotions, hen nights, etc. Emma Rose 0434 950 745 emma@roseycheeks.com.au

I am Adelaides best remembered face painting artist ~ I normally gain business through personal recommendations

I use only high quality, water based paints which are perfectly safe and can be easily removed with soap and water or wet wipes

I am based in the Adelaide area but willing to travel within the State

I can offer full or half face designs plus cheek art with any design you choose ~ if you can describe it, I will try and paint it. Corporate or charity logos possible from artwork supplied if required"

That's all I can read. I assume you must have some links to other pages, but I can't get to them. Is it just my computer?

Weird, for me the site is super small & doesn't fill up my screen(and I'm on a netbook), so I can't ready anything.

not sure what is going on with it for you contrachapado, that text is not even on the actual website anymore!! guess i will have to get my website guru friend to look at it. strange that some people see it fine, not others, must be to do with what leaping lizards said, but all a bit technical for me!!
i am glad i have had this feedback, as i might lose potential customers if they have trouble viewing the site, so thanks.

Fonts are way to small, but the colors are fine. Larger fonts may make it easier to read for more people then me.
