Make sure the minimum browser you support, deals with web-fonts

No good fallback in case font doesn’t load -> No icons to be shown !!

No full color icons, just 2 colors

Really easy implementation: size, colors etc. specified by CSS properties

Beware of the dark side

Use e.g. modernizr to proper handle fallback scenarios

Deal with the dark side

Responsive Web DesignMake use of a responsive CSS boilerplate or framework for positioning.

Some popular frameworks:

• Twitter Bootstrap

Most popular framework, plenty of documentation, huge set of widgets and modules, sites are

sooner to be recognized as bootstrap based.

• Foundation

Best in class grids system across all viewports, powerful and modular set of tools, more agnostic

than Bootstrap.

• Skeleton CSS

Very easy to use boilerplate. No UI widgets or styles included, really small footprint.
