Site Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that folk generally find all that flash and glitz to be irritating and distracting. Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Make it simple and try to not drive your web visitors crazy.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is straightforward 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 folk usually find all that flash and bling to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done right. Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors funny.
The most well liked layout is the 3-column model, as it works really well. You will find that many good web sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this could appear to be a bit uninteresting, readers like it as it is simple, 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 a bonus 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 lucidity 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 internet started. In print design, newspapers and magazines, the combination 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 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 announcements and Sans-serif for text ).
The second thing to bear in mind about using fonts is to limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - 2, maybe 3 fonts at most. Good site design is simple to read. You may use some ornamental type font, but it will detract from the message you are trying 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 web design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy-to-read, Sans-serif and excellent for all website designs.
