Having six to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Keep it simplistic 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 usually the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that folks sometimes find all that flash and bling to be upsetting and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done right. Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors crazy. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, because it works really well. You'll find that many good websites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this will seem to be a bit dull, readers adore it because it is simple, straight-forward and straightforward 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 crucial 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 clearness about the subject. 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 prior to the internet started. In print design, newspapers and mags, the fusion of Serif types for announcements 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 until just recently monitor resolution hasn't been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it might blur together making reading more troublesome. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you should use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for announcements 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 3 fonts at most. Good web design is simple to read. You may use some ornamental type font, but it will play down the message you are endeavoring to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible. In site design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy to read, Sans-serif and superb for all web site designs. ![]()
