Having six to 8 frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done right. Keep it simplistic and try not to drive your web visitors funny.When it comes to web design, sticking with what is simple and straight-forward is generally the best. While you may wish to Wow your readership with stunningly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that folk usually find all that flash and bling to be annoying and distracting. Having six to eight frames on a page only causes confusion if not done properly. Keep it simplistic and try not to drive your web visitors crazy. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, as it works well. You'll find that many good websites 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 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 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'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 shouldn't 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, paperspapers and magazines, the mix of Serif types for announcements and San-Serif type for text has always worked well. This doesn't carry over to the web where Sans-serif fonts are the finest choice because they are more easy to read on the screen. Up until recently monitor resolution hasn't been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it would blur together making reading more difficult. 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 bear in mind about using fonts is to limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simplistic - 2, perhaps 3 fonts at most. Good site design is simple and easy to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it'll play down the message you are trying 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 most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easily read, Sans-serif and excellent for all internet site designs. ![]()
