Web Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that people generally find all that flash and glitz to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Make it simple and try to not drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is straightforward and straight-forward is mostly 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 people sometimes find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done correctly . Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors crazy.
The most popular layout is the 3-column model, because it works well. You will find that many good web sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this may appear to be a bit uninteresting, readers like it because it is easy, straight-forward and simple 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 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 should not overtake what's 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 World Wide Web began. In print design, paperspapers and magazines, the mix 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 less difficult to read on the screen. Up till just recently monitor resolution hasn't 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 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 - 2, perhaps three fonts at most. Good web design is simple and easy to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it'll play down the message you are attempting 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.
