Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes misunderstanding if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is straightforward and straight-forward is mostly 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 folks usually find all that flash and bling to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done properly. Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors funny. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, because it works really well. You'll find that many good websites 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 uninteresting, readers love it because it is simple, 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 an advantage for most designs. White space is as crucial 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 should not overtake what's 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 world wide web began. In print design, paperspapers and mags, the mix of Serif types for headlines 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 more easy to read on the screen. Up until just recently monitor resolution has not 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 reports 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, maybe three fonts at most. Good website design is straightforward to read. You may use some ornamental 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 need to stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible. In website design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and superb for all internet site designs. ![]()
