Web Design Layout
has been shown in studies that people generally find all that flash and bling to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk customarily find all that flash and bling to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done properly. Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors crazy.
The most popular layout is the 3-column model, as it works well. You will find that many good sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this will seem to be a bit dull, readers like it because it is straightforward, straight-forward and simple to navigate.
Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Allowing for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is an advantage for most designs. White space is as important as the layout itself.
Graphics should be used to improve the layout as elements that add to what is written on the page. It should be used as an extension of the text and should lend to further clarity about the subject. Graphics shouldn't overtake what's being conveyed ; it should only help to make the content clear.
Using Fonts
There is a standard for fonts that have worked well since prior to the World Wide Web began. In print design, newspapers and magazines, 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 easier to read on the screen. Up until just recently monitor resolution hasn't been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it would blur together making reading more difficult. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you must use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for headlines and Sans-serif for text ).
The second thing to keep in mind about using fonts is to limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - two, perhaps three fonts at most. Good website design is simple to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it'll detract from the message you are attempting to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high resolution monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible.
In site design, the most well liked fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy-to-read, Sans-serif and great for all website designs.
