Having six to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that people customarily find all that flash and bling to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done correctly . Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors crazy. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, because it works very well. You'll find that many good sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this could appear to be a bit boring, readers like it because it is simple, 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 bonus for most designs. White space is as crucial as the layout itself. Graphics should be used to enhance 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 should not 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 began. In print design, paperspapers and mags, the mix 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 are planning on offering a print-friendly page, you should use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for reports and Sans-serif for text ). The second thing to bear in mind about using fonts is to limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Make it simple - 2, perhaps three fonts at most. Good web design is simple to read. You may use some ornamental type font, but it will play down the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high-spec monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible. In web design, the most well liked fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy to read, Sans-serif and excellent for all web site designs. ![]()
