Use Legible Text Sizes in GoDaddy Website Builder

  1. Open your site in GoDaddy Website Builder and navigate to the page you want to update.
  2. Select a text element (paragraph, heading, button label, link, or form text). The right-hand settings panel will appear.
  3. Open the Text, Typography, or Design section depending on the block type.
  4. Check the current font size:
    • Ensure paragraph text is at least 16px.
    • Button labels and navigation text should be at least 14–16px.
    • Headings should scale clearly above body text (H1 ~ 28–40px, H2 ~ 22–30px, H3 ~ 18–24px).
  5. Adjust the font size using the slider or pixel input until the text is comfortable to read.
  6. Check Line Spacing (line height):
    • Use approximately 1.4–1.6 for paragraph text.
    • Use slightly tighter spacing for headings.
  7. Review button text:
    • Select the button → open Design.
    • Increase text size or adjust button padding to maintain readability.
  8. Review form text:
    • Select the form → click a field.
    • Ensure labels, input text, and placeholder text meet minimum size guidelines.
  9. If global text styles are enabled:
    • Open Theme → Sitewide Styles or Theme → Fonts.
    • Adjust global paragraph, heading, and button sizes for consistency across the entire site.
  10. Switch to Mobile view:
    • Ensure text remains at least 14–16px on smaller screens.
    • Adjust mobile-specific heading sizes if they appear too large or too small.
  11. Check navigation text in mobile view:
    • Select the mobile menu → verify menu item text is large enough for comfortable reading and tapping.
  12. Use Preview to scan the page and verify readability at a normal viewing distance.
  13. Publish your changes to update live text sizing sitewide.
