Having six to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done correctly . Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, withstand the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk usually find all that flash and glitz to be upsetting and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors crazy. The most popular layout is the 3-column model, as it works really well. You may find that many good websites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this could appear to be a bit dull, readers love it because it is easy, 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 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 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 world wide web commenced. 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 until recently monitor resolution has not been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it might blur together making reading trickier. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you should use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for announcements 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 simple - two, perhaps three fonts at most. Good web design is straightforward to read. You can use some ornamental type font, but it will 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 where possible. In web design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and excellent for all web site designs. ![]()
