Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes confusion if not done correctly . Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that people customarily find all that flash and bling to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to 8 frames on a page only causes bafflement if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors silly. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, as it works well. You may find that many good sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and such like running down the right. While this may seem to be a bit dull, readers love 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 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 clarity about the subject. Graphics should not 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 commenced. In print design, newspapers and mags, the combination of Serif types for reports 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 less difficult 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 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 bear in mind about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simple - 2, maybe three fonts at most. Good website design is straightforward to read. You can use some ornamental type font, but it'll detract from the message you are attempting to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new high resolution monitors, you must stick with Sans-serif fonts wherever possible. In website design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy-to-read, Sans-serif and great for all web site designs. ![]()
