Readability is extremely important for a website if you mean business. That is why you need to pay extra attention to this aspect if you wish to have a successful website.
Many websites on the market offer a lousy experience and that is because of bad readability. There is a certain rule about how to build and display content because you don’t want to fill up your entire page with a lot of unorganized hard to read information.

This kind of problem often appears in the second the owner has chosen a bad design, whether is a poor one offered by the web designer or just a bad template.
But this issue is easy to overcome. It just requires careful, deliberate design choices that need only just a little effort. You simply need to make sure that elements such as headers, footers, navigation bars, sidebars, links, and dynamic ads are correctly placed and in not too much quantity. The idea is that the readability of a website should be the main goal and then follows the design part.

Other aspects that you have to be careful about is the font size as it’s very important to the readability of any website, especially if you have a website news. When a big font is used it usually attracts the visitor’s attention and that should be enough. You shouldn’t overuse such fonts. Plus, font sizes should also be used to differentiate between sections on a page.
Also, another important aspect regards the colors and geometry of the elements that you will use, and that depends on what type of news content you will have. You always have to make sure the content is obvious and not cluttered, and that the visitors won’t waste time to figure out where to search for something on your website.
