Site Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that folk usually find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done properly. Keep it simplistic and try to not drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is mostly the best. While you may wish to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, withstand the urge. It has been shown in studies that people customarily find all that flash and glitz to be irritating and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors silly.
The most popular layout is the 3-column model, as it works very well. You will find that many good sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this may seem to be a bit boring, readers love it because it is easy, 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 a bonus for most designs. White space is as vital 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 clearness about the subject. Graphics shouldn't 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, newspapers and mags, the combination of Serif types for headlines 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 troublesome. 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. Make it simple - 2, maybe 3 fonts at most. Good website design is simple to read. You may 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 must stick with Sans-serif fonts where possible.
In website design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and superb for all website designs.
