Website Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that folk usually find all that flash and glitz to be vexing and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors insane.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 incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk customarily find all that flash and bling to be annoying and distracting. Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Keep it simple and try to not drive your web visitors crazy.
The hottest layout is the 3-column model, because it works very well. You may find that many good web sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and such like running down the right. While this could seem to be a bit boring, readers adore it because it is easy, straight-forward and easy 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 crucial as the layout itself.
Graphics should be used to improve 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 clearness about the topic. Graphics shouldn't 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 before the internet began. In print design, newspapers and magazines, the fusion of Serif types for headlines and San-Serif type for text has always worked well.
This doesn't carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the top choice because they are easier 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 more troublesome. If you are planning on offering a print-friendly page, you must 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 limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simplistic - two, perhaps three fonts at most. Good web design is simple to read. You may use some ornamental type font, but it'll play down the message you are endeavoring to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you should stick with Sans-serif fonts where possible.
In site design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy to read, Sans-serif and great for all website designs.
