Having six to eight frames on a page only causes puzzlement if not done properly. Keep it simplistic and try to not drive your web visitors insane.When it comes to site design, sticking with what is easy and straight-forward is mostly the best. While you may wish to Wow your readership with surprisingly flashing, spinning graphics, resist the urge. It has been shown in studies that folks usually 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 properly. Keep it simple and try hard not to drive your web visitors crazy. The hottest layout is the 3-column model, as it works very well. You'll find that many good websites have this layout with categories running down the left and updates, advertising and such like running down the right. While this will seem to be a bit uninteresting, readers love 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 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 is written on the page. It should be used as an extension of the text and should lend to further clarity about the topic. 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 before the world wide web began. In print design, newspapers and magazines, the fusion 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 best choice because they are more easy to read on the screen. Up till just recently monitor resolution hasn't been that high, and if you use serif type fonts for text, it would blur together making reading more troublesome. 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 keep in mind about using fonts is to restrict the number of fonts you put on one page. Keep it simplistic - two, perhaps 3 fonts at most. Good site design is straightforward to read. You can use some decorative type font, but it will detract 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 web design, the hottest fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy-to-read, Sans-serif and great for all website designs. ![]()
