COLLECTION OF COLOR AND TYPOGRAPHY TOOLS FOR WEB DEVELOPERS
Hello everyone,
When I removed GA some months ago, I moved to NETLIFY analytics, because Colors & Fonts was hosted there.
But I wanted to be more transparent, so here we go.
I moved all my side-projects to PLAUSIBLE, because I can share the dashboard and make it public.
So go ahead and have a look to them.
Why am I doing this?
Well, first of all tt bothers me the idea of being tracked, and am I sure that there's more humans with the same thoughts.
I value privacy, and this kind of tools, like Colors & Fonts shouldn't even use analytics like GA. Is not needed if the apps are free...and made for the users.
Don't hesitate to comment or ask me anything regarding the project, just go ahead.
You can contact me on
My side projects:
And if you want to get a bunch of resources, tools and articles on your inbox every Tuesday.
I have a free newsletter for that. You can subscribe or simply read it on the browser because is on substack.
- The newsletter, with 1178 readers.
Thank you so much for reading and have a great day!

Was curious, wanted to check out your dashboard but the link seems broken: https://plausible.io/colorsandfonts.com

Hey zupa,
Long time i moved to my own analytics mate, and I did not updated it. but look here is open.
I am using umami

Wow - it's going super strong, congrats!
The site also looks great. I see you tweak it a lot, nice work.
-

it has been better, i used to have almost 1k users daily but I haven't done no marketing or nothing....
In fact I am tweaking it again https://new-colorsandfonts.netlify.app/
with Tailwind nd Alpine.js
-
2
1k daily visitors? That's insane!! =o
What's the drive behind tweaking it? Are you just having fun or are you trying to improve some metric?
I like both, couldn't tell which is a better direction. :)
-
2
yea, it has been featured in many places, including a Gary Simon video. That's why it has been so popular, I have also removed some tools because they weren't used though...
Just for the sake of doing it. Metrics are fine but Is mostly because I want to move away from Bulma and make it with Tailwind CSS...
I want to make it look like my other side projects
to have some consistency, you know? When they see it, they will know I made it.
I am trying to do this 4, but I may sell the newsletter so will see if I include it.
-

Yeah it totally makes sense to move Tailwind. :) And I also get the design consistency goal.
I didn't know tough that you are working on wickedtemplates. And it's already generating revenue - pretty cool, congrats!

Yeah, i launched around 4 months ago and it was 5th on ph but, I redesigned the whole concept, because despite it was 5th I barely sold nothing, so now it is what it is now...
Yeah, I am making some sales, not as wished but will definitely take care of that soon too.
How is Boomla going?
-
1
Well, at least you released it early! Congrats on that. Unfortunately that's not how I work, lol. :)
Boomla is also growing slowly since I released the theme back in April. Not as fast as I expected from being both high quality and free. Lots of people doubt it. Maybe I should start charging a lot (for new sites). I'm still working in the design department just like you.
I'm just thinking you might find what I'm working on right now useful. Will show you in a week or so!
-

I think Boomla has great potential Tibor, I just rushed because otherwise, I would simply forget about it and ditch it...
Yeah, sometimes putting it expensive is better, so they see the value.
I would love to see what you are working on, really impatient. You got my email so ping me!
Have a great day Tibor!

It felt amazing getting that email, after 10 days of implementing a subscription method, a client saw the potential and benefits from it.

You can see it here under the typography tab.
This is really motivating,
Thank you.

Hi mate, I've looked at your website and I was wondering how you made it look so nice and if you coded it all yourself. I'm trying to start doing freelance web design and I would love some tips.
-

Hey, well it has gone through 3 redesigns, because I was never happy. Then I used I just styled it as felt it was right.
Yes I did all myself, tag by tag.
Tips... white space.

That is a really nice list of design and typography tools
At first glance of the website it looks like a completely free resource and I was wondering how you could possibly make money, but then I looked around and found the advertising section where you can pay to promote content (took a while for me to find it)

Thanks Richard!
I am soon going to update the font pairings. To more real use cases.
Yes, the fact that is sort of hidden, it's made on purpose.
I really do not want to have uncomfortable ads on the site, the UX becomes unusable.The website is towards those who are working and don't want to be bothered.
Sort of like the newsletter, you can read it without being subscriber.
You will see a promoted extension on https://www.colorsandfonts.com/resources-for-designers
That's the first one I had so long since I launched that program, around a month ago.

Is an old post, now is gone. No one can add it ir anymore.

By today you can submit your own resource on Colors & Fonts, and it will be curated by me.
You can do it for free if the tool or resource is free or open-source. Then you have three tiers.
- 20 month
- 90 6 months
- 190 a year
You read more here how it works.
or gumroad
let me know what you guys think.

Hello everyone,
I am happy to say Colors & Fonts newsletter has reached 800 subscribers, and it feels good really good.
From 700 to 800 it took me more than it normally takes, but I know why.
I have not made content to drive traffic to it, because I was busy working on the redesign and making new pages to add, it took me more than I thought it could.
Taking into account that I am going solo and I work on the site only at night and mostly 4 hours... I am fine.
So,... I also redesigned the newsletter and it has been working
You can see it here
It's been also added a Variable font picker where you can preview google fonts and exclusive fonts, the Google Fonts are available to download and a link to the license, but the exclusive ones, you have a link to where you can get them. This last links are not affiliates. Also a tiny markdown cheat-sheet and copy-paste glyphs.
If you have feedback is always welcome.
Have a great day and stay safe.
( I do not get my images to world....)
So Colors & Fonts has just reached 700 subscribers, pretty good right?
The last two weeks brought in around a hundred with a coming soon CTA around the site.
You can see ot hete.
Why a coming soon?
I am redesigning, removing some of the pages including the landing page it was getting too messy.
You can see how is going here.
Also I am creating a new newsletter.
I am accepting sponsorships too.
Have a great one and thank you for reading.
And then I am live again with Colors & Fonts on PH.

palette, gradients, contrast & font pairing.

and more to come!
Is not finishing there yet!
If you want to know how to apply a color palette through a design system you can do it by subscribing to a newsletter that I am sending every 2 weeks. https://www.colorsandfonts.com/n... ( 400+ subs )
This is how it works.
Color Schemes.
The color schemes that we are gonna work on are based on the ones in Colors & Fonts. We are going to take a Design system and apply the chosen color palette.
UI.
The color will be presented on a Design System including buttons, forms, inputs, and components.
Files.
You will be able to copy to Figma and .fig file.
Also, you get a SASS and JS file with the variables to download from GitHub if you want to implement the colors right away.
I hope you are satisfied with all the new features and the upcoming ones. Let me know what you think and if you have any request do not hesitate to tell me.
Have a great day everyone and thank you for being there...!
First launch on ( https://www.producthunt.com/post... )
Have a great Day !
So yeah, as the title says the newsletter has 300 Subscribers. I know is not a huge number...but...
Taking into account that it started on 19 of December and I have barely done nothing to get them is pretty much a milestone for me.
They kept coming in maybe 5 or 6 daily more or less, then I posted <a href="https://dev.to/michaelandreuzza/i-have-put-together-a-file-with-color-and-typography-styles-for-web-developers-and-digital-designers-it-s-free-t-use-and-copy-30go">this</a> on DEVto. This figma file has been used by more 200 users.
This post brought in 127 subscribers and since then it has been growing. And the file I made it months before the newsletter and website.
Then, something that it actually helped to leak more subscribers was to read @harrydry 's <a href="https://marketingexamples.com/conversion/email-subscribers">article</a>...
Now there's a CTA in the navbar in every page, a subscribe box in every footer with the test:
" Join hundreds of designers and developers receiving color palettes by example twice a week. "
The buttons for the newsletter has a color gradient that resembles diamonds, and it feels good to click it.
There is also a landing page, explicit for the newsletter, where it explains everything about how it works.
I am also linking to Figma for those that don't use it. So there's no excuse :-) to not join.
While I have experienced less traffic than pasts weeks due to my just playing around with the UI and messing all up, subscribers grew.
I changed the UI to almost how it was, but now it looks much better, and it has got some more personality. I am getting there and this proved that I should not have touched the ui.
Thank you for reading and have a great one.

Great stuff Michael. And glad that article helped. btw, to format links it's markdown not html so:
[name of link] (https://link.com) - but without the space

Thank you catching that one! I didn't saw it after..
My bad.
Thanks a lot Harry l.

So I was watching analytics for Colorsandfonts.com and I saw there was a little spike there, and it was coming from DEV.TO
from this really well worked post:
I am amazed of the fact that the site is being mentioned by users,..one step at a time.
Today I was looking to drive some traffic to Colors & Fonts so I posted in Designer news.
And I ended up in Muzli magazine by Invision for second time.
This is the first time was here.
And now is getting cross-posted in many places.
Nice source of traffic
have a good day guys !
