Hi, I am putting together a new website and the design and structure is nearly complete. What I wanted was a few ideas on the layout of the content, which is mainly textual. Things like what is a good line length to use, font styles and sizes.

A good example I have seen is >

http://www.itsmobile.com

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated,

Cheers.

Use css so you can easily control fonts, line-height, padding etc.
For examples, try the clean or minimalist sections of places like http://www.misspato.com.

I like velvetskies. Nice muppet top.

Ta, that's a handy little site, i'll pop it into my favourites.

I was wandering if there were any rules about line length. I hate it when lines of text are too long (or short), it makes them tricky ro read.

I wish I still had that muppets top!

Cool, that was just what I was after.

I noticed this link which seem to talk more generally about line lengths >
