Site Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that folks usually find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors insane.
When it comes to site design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk customarily find all that flash and glitz to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done correctly . Keep it simplistic and try not to drive your web visitors funny.
The most well liked layout is the 3-column model, as it works well. You may find that many good web sites 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 dull, readers like it as it is simple, straight-forward and simple 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 lucidity about the topic. Graphics shouldn't 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 world wide web 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 more easy 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 must use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for announcements and Sans-serif for text ).
The second thing to remember about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - 2, perhaps 3 fonts at most. Good web design is straightforward 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 if possible.
In site design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and excellent for all web site designs.
