Having six to eight frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done right. Keep it simple and try to not drive your web visitors crazy.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that people sometimes find all that flash and glitz to be upsetting and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done correctly . Make it simple and try to not drive your web visitors silly. The most well liked layout is the 3-column model, as it works really well. You'll find that many good sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and such like running down the right. While this will appear to be a bit dull, readers adore it as it is easy, straight-forward and simple 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 important 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 is 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 started. In print design, paperspapers and magazines, the combination of Serif types for announcements and San-Serif type for text has always worked well. This doesn't carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the top choice because they are less difficult 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 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 headlines and Sans-serif for text ). The second thing to remember about using fonts is to limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simplistic - 2, perhaps three fonts at most. Good web design is straightforward to read. You can use some ornamental type font, but it'll play down the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high-spec monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts where possible. In site design, the most well liked fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easily read, Sans-serif and excellent for all internet site designs.
