Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Keep it simple and try not to drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is simple 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 folk customarily find all that flash and glitz to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done correctly . Keep it simplistic and try not to drive your web visitors funny. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, as it works really well. You will find that many good web sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and the like running down the right. While this will seem to be a bit boring, readers love it as it is simple, 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 important as the layout itself. Graphics should be used to enhance the layout as elements that add to what's 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's a standard for fonts that have worked well since before the world wide web commenced. In print design, paperspapers and magazines, the combination 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 best 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 might blur together making reading trickier. If you are planning on offering a print-friendly page, you need to 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 simplistic - two, maybe three fonts at most. Good site design is simple to read. You can 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 high-spec monitors, you need to stick with Sans-serif fonts where possible. In site design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and great for all internet site designs. ![]()
