Website Design Layout
has been shown in studies that folks usually find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done correctly . Keep it simplistic and try not to drive your web visitors funny.
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 surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, resist 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 eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors silly.
The hottest layout is the 3-column model, because it works really well. You'll find that many good websites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and such like running down the right. While this will seem to be a bit uninteresting, 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 a plus for most designs. White space is as vital 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 topic. Graphics shouldn't 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 internet began. In print design, paperspapers and mags, 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 best choice because they are less difficult to read on the screen. Up until 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're 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 restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - two, perhaps three fonts at most. Good site design is simple and easy to read. You may use some ornamental type font, but it'll take away from the message you are attempting to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible.
In website design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easily read, Sans-serif and excellent for all website designs.
