Website Design Layout
has been shown in studies that folks generally find all that flash and glitz to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done properly. Keep it simple and try to not drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is easy 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 people usually find all that flash and bling to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done correctly . Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors crazy.
The hottest layout is the 3-column model, because it works really well. You may 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 could seem to be a bit dull, readers adore it as it is easy, 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 plus for most designs. White space is as important as the layout itself.
Graphics should be used to enhance 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 lucidity about the subject. Graphics should not 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 internet began. In print design, newspapers and magazines, the fusion of Serif types for announcements 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 more difficult. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you must 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 limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simplistic - 2, perhaps three fonts at most. Good website design is simple to read. You may use some ornamental type font, but it'll 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 wherever possible.
In website design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy-to-read, Sans-serif and great for all internet site designs.
