I hope this is the right place for this question.

How do you know what the correct or default font size is? Is it where you use the Command +/- key to the smallest setting for the default? Is it one or two steps above that? Where is there some guidance on that?

We are developing a new website for older people and need to know what our default size should be and how it looks BEFORE that display size setting has been touched

Thanks a lot!

Assuming you're using Safari 3, Command-0 will "Make Text Normal Size". The same is true of Camino and Firefox.

iCab and Opera are hardcore, insist on actual Command-+ to make things larger (which is to say Command-Shift-=). Command-= (or Command-+ as the other browsers would have it...) is therefore used to revert to "Standard" in iCab and Opera offers a "100%" option under the View>Zoom menu, no keyboard shortcut.

Internet Explorer, a long time dead, nor the very much alive Omniweb, offer any way of getting back the standard font size other than manually opening the current page in a fresh window.
