Site Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that folks generally find all that flash and glitz to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes misunderstanding if not done correctly . Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may wish to Wow your readership with surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk customarily find all that flash and bling to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done correctly . Keep it simple and try to not drive your web visitors silly.
The most popular layout is the 3-column model, as it works really well. You may find that many good websites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this will seem to be a bit uninteresting, readers love it because it is straightforward, straight-forward and easy to navigate.
Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Permitting 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 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 internet 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 does not carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the best choice because they are easier to read on the screen. Up till just recently monitor resolution has not 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 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. Make it simple - two, maybe 3 fonts at most. Good site design is straightforward to read. You may use some decorative 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 should stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible.
In site design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and great for all internet site designs.
