Having six to eight frames on a page only causes misunderstanding if not done right. Make it simple and try to not drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is usually the best. While you may wish to Wow your readership with incredibly flashing, spinning graphics, fight the urge. It has been shown in studies that folks usually find all that flash and bling to be annoying and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done correctly . Keep it simplistic and try to not drive your web visitors funny. The most well liked layout is the 3-column model, because it works really well. You may find that many good sites have this layout with categories 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 simple, straight-forward and straightforward 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 improve 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 subject. Graphics should not overtake what is 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 internet commenced. In print design, newspapers and magazines, the mix of Serif types for headlines 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 trickier. If you are planning on offering a print-friendly page, you need to use print design fonts ( i.e. Serif for reports 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. Make it simple - 2, perhaps three fonts at most. Good web design is simple and easy to read. You may 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 need to stick with Sans-serif fonts if possible. In site design, the most well liked fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They are easy to read, Sans-serif and superb for all web site designs. ![]()
