Site Design Layout
It's been shown in studies that folk often find all that flash and bling to be annoying and distracting. Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done right. Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to website design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is mostly the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that people customarily find all that flash and glitz to be upsetting and distracting. Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done correctly . Make it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors silly.
The hottest layout is the 3-column model, because it works really well. You'll find that many good websites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this will appear to be a bit uninteresting, readers like it as 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 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 before the internet commenced. In print design, paperspapers 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 top choice because they are more easy 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 are 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 restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Make it simple - 2, maybe 3 fonts at most. Good web design is simple and easy to read. You may use some decorative type font, but it will take away from the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you should stick with Sans-serif fonts where possible.
In web design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and superb for all internet site designs.
