Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done properly. Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that folks customarily find all that flash and bling to be upsetting 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 funny. The most well liked layout is the 3-column model, as it works very well. You will 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 may seem to be a bit boring, readers love it as it is simple, 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 a bonus 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 lucidity about the subject. Graphics should not overtake what's 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 world wide web began. In print design, paperspapers and magazines, the combination of Serif types for reports and San-Serif type for text has always worked well. This does not carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the finest 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 would blur together making reading more difficult. If you are 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 remember about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Make it simple - two, maybe three fonts at most. Good website design is straightforward to read. You can use some ornamental type font, but it will take away from the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high-spec monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible. In web design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy to read, Sans-serif and superb for all internet site designs. ![]()
