Website Design Layout
has been shown in studies that folk often find all that flash and bling to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that people sometimes find all that flash and glitz to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done right. Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors funny.
The most popular layout is the 3-column model, because it works really well. You'll find that many good sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this will appear to be a bit boring, readers like it because it is straightforward, 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 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 subject. Graphics should not 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 commenced. In print design, newspapers and mags, the fusion of Serif types for headlines and San-Serif type for text has always worked well.
This does not carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the top choice because they are more easy 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 trickier. 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 remember about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - two, maybe 3 fonts at most. Good site design is straightforward to read. You can use some ornamental type font, but it'll take away from the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible.
In web design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy-to-read, Sans-serif and great for all web site designs.
