Site Design Layout
has been shown in studies that people often find all that flash and bling to be annoying and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Keep it simplistic and try not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is mostly the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that people usually find all that flash and bling to be upsetting and distracting. Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done correctly . Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors crazy.
The most popular 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 such like running down the right. While this could appear to be a bit dull, readers like it as it is straightforward, straight-forward and easy 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 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 shouldn't 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 before the World Wide Web commenced. In print design, newspapers and magazines, the combination 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 top choice because they are more easy 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 more difficult. If you are planning on offering a print-friendly page, you must 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 simple - 2, perhaps three fonts at most. Good site design is simple and easy to read. You may use some decorative 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 highres monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible.
In website design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy to read, Sans-serif and great for all web site designs.
