Creating text in photoshop and using it as an image?

Not a fan of the fonts in website tonight…was wondering if it’s a bad idea to create my text in PS and saving it as an image to load up to design my pages…???

@monti,
I cannot comment on whether this is a good idea or not. However, it is possible to do. Once you have the images with the desired font you want to display created, you can upload these images to be displayed within your Website Builder project through the following article:

well I was wondering if it was a bad idea because it would take too long to load up the page…can I get an idea of how long it will take to load by how long it takes to see a preview??

@monti,
The preview page would give you some insight to the load speed of your content.
As I mentioned before, I cannot advise if it is a good or bad idea as it really depends on how your image files are setup. Generally, most site developers would advise against it as the less images you have to load, the better response speed your pages would have. Perhaps another member could offer some additional suggestions in this regard.

@monti – If you decide to use images make sure to create the images as actual size to what you would be using, and ‘Save for web’ or in other words optimize the images for use on a website.
It is possible to add fonts not already in the Website Builder, for example Google has put together a long list of free fonts you can put on your website. You would need to grab the @font-face code and add to the very top of your Advanced CSS file, as well as declare that font for the areas you intend to use.

@monti,
An excellent suggestion from @Nate D. To add to the suggestion for using the Google Web Fonts in your CSS, you may want to review the following article for updating your custom CSS in the Website Builder account:
Managing Advanced Design Options in Website Builder
Let us know how this works out for you.
