Methodology This chapter discusses and justifies the method adopted for this study.  Ranges of techniques recommended for the addition of text to web pages were introduced in the literature review.  It was necessary, then, to employ an empirical ‘trial-and-error’ process in order to test the legibility of text coded according to each technique.  This would allow the combination of best practice from each method to give guidelines, which offer successful outcomes in the widest range of situations.
