Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes misunderstanding if not done properly. Keep it simple and try to not drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that people usually find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done properly. Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors silly. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, as it works very well. You'll find that many good sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this will seem to be a bit uninteresting, readers adore it because it is simple, straight-forward and straightforward to navigate. Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Permitting for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is an advantage for most designs. White space is as vital as the layout itself. Graphics should be used to enhance the layout as elements that add to what's 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's a standard for fonts that have worked well since before the internet started. In print design, newspapers and mags, the fusion of Serif types for headlines and San-Serif type for text has always worked well. This does not carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the finest 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 might blur together making reading more troublesome. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you should use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for headlines and Sans-serif for text ). The second thing to keep in mind about using fonts is to limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Make it simple - 2, perhaps three fonts at most. Good web design is straightforward to read. You can 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 site design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easily read, Sans-serif and excellent for all internet site designs.
