Web Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that people often find all that flash and bling to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes misunderstanding if not done properly. Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors crazy.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may need to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, withstand the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk sometimes find all that flash and bling to be upsetting and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done properly. Keep it simple and try to not drive your web visitors funny.
The most well liked layout is the 3-column model, because it works well. You will find that many good web sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this may appear to be a bit dull, readers like it as it is simple, straight-forward and easy 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 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 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, paperspapers and mags, the mix 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 less difficult to read on the screen. Up until just recently monitor resolution has not 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 reports 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. Keep it simplistic - two, perhaps three fonts at most. Good site design is simple to read. You can use some ornamental type font, but it'll take away from the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high-spec monitors, you should stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible.
In website design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy-to-read, Sans-serif and great for all internet site designs.
