Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done right. Keep it simple and try to not drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is mostly the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that folks sometimes find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done correctly . Keep it simplistic and try to not drive your web visitors silly. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, because it works very well. You may find that many good sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and such like running down the right. While this will appear to be a bit dull, readers love it because it is straightforward, straight-forward and easy to navigate. Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Allowing for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is a plus 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 is 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 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 top choice because they are easier to read on the screen. Up until 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 should 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. Make it simple - two, maybe three fonts at most. Good website design is simple 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 resolution monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts where possible. In website design, the most well liked fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and superb for all website designs. ![]()
