Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors crazy.When it comes to site 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, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that folks sometimes find all that flash and glitz to be upsetting and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done right. Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors funny. The most popular layout is the 3-column model, as it works very 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 could seem to be a bit boring, readers like it as it is easy, straight-forward and simple to navigate. Whitespace is another function of a good layout. Allowing 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 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 topic. Graphics shouldn't overtake what's 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 started. In print design, newspapers and mags, the fusion 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 finest choice because they are easier 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 are 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 restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simplistic - two, maybe 3 fonts at most. Good website design is simple and easy to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it'll take away from the message you are trying to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible. In website design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy-to-read, Sans-serif and great for all web site designs. ![]()
