Website Design Layout
It's 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 misunderstanding if not done properly. Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors insane.
When it comes to website design, sticking with what is straightforward and straight-forward is mostly 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 irritating and distracting. Having 6 to eight frames on a page only causes bewilderment if not done correctly . Keep it simplistic and try hard not to drive your web visitors funny.
The most popular 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 the like running down the right. While this may appear to be a bit boring, readers love it because it is straightforward, straight-forward and easy 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 crucial 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 lucidity about the subject. Graphics shouldn't 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 world wide web commenced. In print design, newspapers and mags, 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 top 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 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 limit the number of fonts you put on one page. Make it simple - 2, perhaps 3 fonts at most. Good website design is simple and easy to read. You may use some ornamental type font, but it will detract from the message you are attempting to convey. Standard font families are best, and even with the new highres monitors, you should stick with Sans-serif fonts where possible.
In web design, the most popular fonts include Geneva, Arial, Verdana and Helvetica. They're easy to read, Sans-serif and superb for all website designs.
