Don't use too much typeface
This advice I always give to young designers because they tend to use too many fonts in their design, too much excitement I guess. Try to be consistent with your design, I would recommend using one to three different typefaces, but no more. Playing with a Serif as a headline and a Sans serif as a body of text is a good pairing.
Here are some examples of good combinations:

A combination of Playfair and Futura ( https://www.dogstudio.co/)
Another good combination:

Combination of GTWalsheim and Adobe Garamond ( http://www.christianaslund.com/the-new-oil-frontier)
And lastly, the combination of GT-Sectra and Futura:

If you want a website to find great combinations of typography, I recommend https://fontpair.co/.
There are different ways to add fonts to your website:
- You can either use your own font and use a font generator to generate fonts that are compatible with your browsers. I recommend https://www.fontsquirrel.com/.
- You can also use Google fonts, which are free to use: https://fonts.google.com/.
