Website Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that folk generally find all that flash and bling to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done properly. Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, withstand the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk usually find all that flash and bling to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done right. Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors silly.
The most popular layout is the 3-column model, because it works well. You'll find that many good web sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and such like running down the right. While this may seem to be a bit boring, readers love it because it is simple, straight-forward and straightforward 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 crucial as the layout itself.
Graphics should be used to improve 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 clearness about the topic. 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 prior to the world wide web started. In print design, paperspapers and mags, 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 best choice because they are easier 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 troublesome. If you are planning on offering a print-friendly page, you need to use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for headlines 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 simplistic - 2, maybe 3 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 resolution monitors, you need to 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 great for all web site designs.
