Having six to eight frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done correctly . Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors crazy.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may wish to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that folks usually find all that flash and glitz to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Keep it simplistic and try to not drive your web visitors silly. The most well liked layout is the 3-column model, because it works really well. You will find that many good sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and such like running down the right. While this may appear to be a bit boring, readers adore it as it is straightforward, straight-forward and straightforward to navigate. Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Allowing for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is a plus for most designs. White space is as important as the layout itself. Graphics should be used to improve 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 topic. Graphics shouldn't overtake what is being conveyed ; it should only help to make the content clear. Using Fonts There's a standard for fonts that have worked well since prior to the world wide web started. In print design, paperspapers and magazines, the mix of Serif types for reports and San-Serif type for text has always worked well. This does not carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the top choice because they are less difficult 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 trickier. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you need to use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for headlines and Sans-serif for text ). The second thing to bear in mind about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - 2, perhaps 3 fonts at most. Good site design is simple and easy to read. You can use some ornamental type font, but it'll detract from the message you are endeavoring to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible. In web design, the most well liked fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy to read, Sans-serif and superb for all website designs. ![]()
