WebINK enters Beta testing today
July 7th, 2010 by Jim Kidwell
I’m proud to announce that today we officially entered Beta testing for our new WebINK web font service.
So, you ask, “What’s so cool about WebINK, and why should I check it out for myself?”
If you’ve got a website, WebINK will totally change the way you design for the web.
It’s been said that the Web is 95% Typography, and when you think about it, that’s entirely true. Every page you visit on the web, the primary page element that you’re going to see is text.
From the time that the web began, as a designer, you were restricted to the fonts that you could guarantee were on your reader’s machine. If you found a cool font, there was no way to ensure that your readers would also have it, so you were stuck.
Fortunately for all of us, web browser development continues to evolve, and is now mature enough to support the use of fonts on a server in your websites. Such a great change is a step in the right direction, is of course not without problems. Two of the main problems are:
- Ensuring that you have the proper font license to use the font on a web server.
- Delivering the correct font format for the particular browser and operating system.
Fortunately, WebINK solves each of these issues.
To ensure that you’re covered legally, we’ve partnered with many reputable type foundries to offer the best fonts available for use on your site. No need to purchase new font licenses every time you change the design of your sites, just update your font selections in WebINK.
And when it comes to delivering the right font, we’ve totally got you covered. To include fonts, all you do is integrate a snippet of CSS code into your site, and then treat WebINK fonts as you would any other font choice. WebINK takes care of delivering the right font to every user, without any input from you required.

We’re happy to have you!
