Site Design Layout
has been shown in studies that people usually find all that flash and bling to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes misunderstanding if not done right. 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 generally the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk customarily find all that flash and bling to be irritating and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Keep it simplistic and try to not drive your web visitors crazy.
The most well liked layout is the 3-column model, as it works really well. You may 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 will seem to be a bit dull, readers like 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 crucial 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 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 mags, the combination 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 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 trickier. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you should use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for headlines 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 simple - two, perhaps 3 fonts at most. Good web design is simple to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it will play down the message you are endeavoring to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible.
In web design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy-to-read, Sans-serif and superb for all web site designs.
