Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes misunderstanding if not done correctly . Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors crazy.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may wish to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, withstand the urge. It has been shown in studies that folks customarily find all that flash and bling to be upsetting and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done correctly . Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors funny. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, as it works well. You will 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 seem to be a bit uninteresting, readers adore it as it is easy, 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 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'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 should not 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 before the World Wide Web began. In print design, paperspapers and magazines, the mix 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 best choice because they are less difficult 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 are 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. Keep it simplistic - two, perhaps 3 fonts at most. Good web design is straightforward to read. You can use some ornamental type font, but it will detract from 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 website design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy-to-read, Sans-serif and superb for all website designs. ![]()
