Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes misunderstanding if not done correctly . Keep it simple 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 surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that people sometimes find all that flash and bling to be upsetting and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done right. Make it simple and try to not drive your web visitors crazy. The hottest 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 the like running down the right. While this may appear to be a bit uninteresting, readers like it because 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 an advantage for most designs. White space is as vital 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 prior to 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 less difficult to read on the screen. Up until recently monitor resolution has not been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it would blur together making reading trickier. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you must use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for announcements and Sans-serif for text ). The second thing to remember 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 website design is straightforward to read. You may use some ornamental type font, but it'll detract from the message you are endeavoring to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high-spec monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible. In website design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and great for all internet site designs. ![]()
