Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done right. Make it simple and try to not drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, withstand the urge. It has been shown in studies that people sometimes find all that flash and bling to be irritating and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try 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 categories running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this will appear to be a bit boring, readers like it because 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 an advantage for most designs. White space is as vital 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 lucidity about the subject. Graphics shouldn't overtake what is 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 world wide web commenced. In print design, paperspapers and mags, the mix of Serif types for announcements 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 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 need to 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 restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - 2, maybe 3 fonts at most. Good web design is simple and easy to read. You may use some decorative type font, but it will play down the message you are attempting to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high-spec monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible. In web design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy-to-read, Sans-serif and great for all internet site designs. ![]()
