Site Design Layout
has been shown in studies that folk usually find all that flash and glitz to be vexing and distracting. Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is mostly 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 people sometimes find all that flash and glitz to be irritating and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try not to drive your web visitors crazy.
The most well liked layout is the 3-column model, as it works well. You will find that many good sites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this will seem to be a bit boring, readers like it as it is straightforward, 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 an advantage 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 lucidity about the topic. 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 before the World Wide Web started. In print design, newspapers and mags, the mix of Serif types for reports 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 till just recently monitor resolution has not been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it would blur together making reading more difficult. If you are planning on offering a print-friendly page, you should use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for announcements 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 - 2, perhaps three fonts at most. Good website design is simple to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it'll play down the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts where possible.
In site design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easily read, Sans-serif and great for all web site designs.
