Site Design Layout
has been shown in studies that folks often find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done correctly . Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may wish to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, withstand the urge. It has been shown in studies that people sometimes find all that flash and bling to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done correctly . Make it simple and try to not drive your web visitors funny.
The hottest layout is the 3-column model, as it works well. You will find that many good web sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this will appear to be a bit dull, readers adore it because it is simple, straight-forward and simple to navigate.
Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Permitting for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is a plus for most designs. White space is as important 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 clarity about the topic. Graphics shouldn't overtake what is being conveyed ; it should only help to make the content clear.
Using Fonts
There is a standard for fonts that have worked well since before the world wide web began. In print design, newspapers and mags, the mix of Serif types for reports and San-Serif type for text has always worked well.
This doesn't carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the top choice because they are less difficult to read on the screen. Up until just recently monitor resolution has not been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it might blur together making reading trickier. If you are 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 limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simplistic - 2, perhaps three fonts at most. Good web design is simple and easy to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it'll detract from the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high-spec monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible.
In web design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy-to-read, Sans-serif and great for all website designs.
