Keep it simplistic and try to not drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may wish to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that people customarily find all that flash and glitz to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done correctly . 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 may find that many good web sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this may seem to be a bit boring, readers adore it as it is simple, straight-forward and simple to navigate. Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Permitting for the reader to have space to rest their eyes is a bonus 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's written on the page. It should be used as an extension of the text and should lend to further clarity about the topic. Graphics should not overtake what's being conveyed ; it should only help to make the content clear. Using Fonts There is a standard for fonts that have worked well since before the internet began. In print design, newspapers and magazines, the mix of Serif types for announcements and San-Serif type for text has always worked well. This does not carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the best choice because they are easier 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 troublesome. If you are 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 bear in mind about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simplistic - 2, maybe 3 fonts at most. Good web design is simple and easy 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 resolution monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible. In website design, the most well liked fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy to read, Sans-serif and excellent for all website designs.
