Why does PS text looks pixel rather than text itself?

I'm just curious, whenever I write text in photoshop and upload to my website I can't barely see the text even when I increase the size. The text itself looks like pixel as oppose to the smooth standard text. I don't know whether it's just my graphic card or something, but is there a way to improve it?
 
What sort of files are you using, GIF or JPG? How large is the image, and what font and font size are you suing? All of these factors come into play.

It would be good if you posted a link to the suspect image, also.

When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.
 
If you are uploading images as GIFs or JPGs to your website, the text will automatically rasterise (pixelate) as that is the only type of file these formats can be. For text to be readable on a website, it must be either be a large font size if part of the image, or if it doesn't need to be part of the image, enter it in HTML.
