Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done correctly . Make it simple and try to not drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is straightforward and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk usually find all that flash and glitz to be upsetting and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors silly. The most popular layout is the 3-column model, as it works really well. You will find that many good websites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this may appear to be a bit uninteresting, readers love it because it is straightforward, straight-forward and straightforward to navigate. Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Allowing for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is an advantage 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'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's a standard for fonts that have worked well since before the internet started. In print design, paperspapers and magazines, the fusion of Serif types for reports and San-Serif type for text has always worked well. This doesn't carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the finest 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 might blur together making reading more difficult. 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 remember about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simplistic - two, perhaps three fonts at most. Good site design is simple to read. You may use some decorative type font, but it'll detract from the message you are endeavoring to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high resolution monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible. In website design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easily read, Sans-serif and excellent for all website designs. ![]()
