We've discussed the general appearance of your course, but there are a few additional items that will allow you to customize the appearance of your course. As you make changes, you may wish to keep accessibility in mind and use the guidelines of Universal Design for Learning.
Moodle gives you many options for design, and you may notice that web-editing boxes pop up almost every time you add content. While it's very tempting to use a wide array of colors, fonts, and symbols, be sure to keep it simple. The following are a few key points:
Choose fonts carefully and use them consistently.
Use a Sans Serif font, such as Arial or Helvetica. They are easier for people with impaired vision to read. They will be displayed uniformly in most browsers.
If you are using graphics with text, be aware that magnification software often results in highly pixelated text and can be hard to read.
