Site Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that folks generally find all that flash and glitz to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done properly. Keep it simple and try to not drive your web visitors crazy.When it comes to site 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, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk sometimes find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes confusion 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 will find that many good sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this could appear to be a bit dull, readers like it because it is easy, straight-forward and easy 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 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 clarity 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 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 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're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you need to use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for headlines and Sans-serif for text ).
The second thing to bear in mind about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - two, maybe three fonts at most. Good website design is simple and easy to read. You may use some decorative type font, but it will detract from the message you are attempting to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high resolution monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts if 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.
