Make it simple and try not to drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is mostly the best. While you may want to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, resist 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 confusion if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try to not drive your web visitors silly. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, as it works well. You will find that many good sites have this layout with classes running down the left and updates, advertising and so on running down the right. While this may appear to be a bit boring, readers adore it because 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 a bonus 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 clearness about the subject. Graphics should not overtake what's being conveyed ; it should only help to make the content clear. Using Fonts There is a standard for fonts that have worked well since prior to the world wide web 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 top choice because they are easier 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 would blur together making reading more troublesome. If you're planning on offering a print-friendly page, you need to 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, perhaps 3 fonts at most. Good web design is simple and easy to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it'll take away from the message you are endeavoring to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you should stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible. In website design, the most well liked fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy to read, Sans-serif and excellent for all web site designs. ![]()
