Could we ditch font sizes altogether and rely on images for text on websites? It might sound crazy, but think about the creative possibilities and accessibility benefits. Lets challenge the norm!

Using images for text on websites would severely impact accessibility for those who rely on screen readers or have visual impairments. Font sizes serve a crucial purpose in making content accessible to all users. Lets prioritize inclusivity over creative experimentation.

Is it really necessary to obsess over font sizes for every device? Cant we just let users adjust their own settings? Lets focus on more important aspects of design.

Adjusting font sizes for different devices ensures optimal readability and accessibility for all users. Ignoring this aspect can result in a poor user experience and hinder the effectiveness of the design. Prioritizing user needs should always be the main focus in design.

Isnt it better to let users choose their own font size preferences instead of trying to optimize for all devices? Personalization over standardization, right? Just a thought!

Absolutely, personalization is key! Let users have control over their font size preferences. One size doesnt fit all. Customize for a better user experience.

Is focusing on font sizes really the key to readability on all devices? What about other design elements like spacing, colors, and layout? Lets not overlook the bigger picture here.

Font sizes play a crucial role in readability, but theyre just one piece of the design puzzle. Spacing, colors, and layout all contribute to a user-friendly experience across devices. Its about the entire package, not just one element.

Why not just let users adjust the font size themselves on websites? Its their device after all. Give them the freedom to personalize their reading experience.
