Website Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that folks often find all that flash and bling to be vexing and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes misunderstanding if not done properly. Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is mostly the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that people usually find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors funny.
The most popular layout is the 3-column model, as it works really well. You'll find that many good web sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this could appear to be a bit uninteresting, readers adore it as it is simple, straight-forward and straightforward to navigate.
Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Allowing for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is a plus for most designs. White space is as vital as the layout itself.
Graphics should be used to enhance the layout as elements that add to what's written on the page. It should be used as an extension of the text and should lend to further clearness about the topic. Graphics should not overtake what is being conveyed ; it should only help to make the content clear.
Using Fonts
There's a standard for fonts that have worked well since before the internet commenced. In print design, paperspapers and mags, the fusion of Serif types for headlines and San-Serif type for text has always worked well.
This doesn't carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the best choice because they are less difficult to read on the screen. Up till just recently monitor resolution hasn't been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it might blur together making reading trickier. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you should use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for reports and Sans-serif for text ).
The second thing to keep in mind about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - two, maybe three fonts at most. Good site design is simple and easy to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it'll play down the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high resolution monitors, you should stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible.
In site design, the most well liked fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easily read, Sans-serif and superb for all internet site designs.
