Site Design Layout
has been shown in studies that people usually find all that flash and bling to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done properly. Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that people customarily find all that flash and bling to be upsetting and distracting. Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes bafflement 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 well. You'll find that many good sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this will seem to be a bit boring, readers like it as it is simple, straight-forward and easy to navigate.
Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Permitting for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is a plus 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 clarity about the topic. Graphics shouldn't 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 before the world wide web started. In print design, paperspapers and mags, the fusion of Serif types for reports and San-Serif type for text has always worked well.
This doesn't carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the best choice because they are easier 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 restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Make it simple - two, perhaps 3 fonts at most. Good website design is simple and easy to read. You may use some decorative type font, but it will take away from the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you should stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible.
In website design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy-to-read, Sans-serif and excellent for all website designs.
