In years past the web was confined to about 8 or 9 "web safe fonts". This meant that your site could only use a handful of fonts that every computer has installed which severely limited typographical design. Eternity Web is proud to announce that those days are OVER!

Up until recently the only option for incorporating unique fonts has been either using images in place of actual text, or using some very obtrusive code that was not friendly to search engines. Utilizing the latest in javascript technology we can now incorporate practically any font imaginable on your site as plain text that is easy to update and visible to search engines. Because of this, the design possibilities for web sites have expanded dramatically. Any designer will tell you that a good design starts with the right type-set. Now, your web site can choose from any typographical look without suffering from bloated code or poor updatability.

Don't believe me? The following headers are all being rendered as plain text and can be edited without the use of any images:
