Web designers have a lot to think about in terms of formatting and placement of their information. They have to pay equal attention to their text as well as graphics and several concepts are not trivial which is when these tutorials online come in very handy.
Regarding graphics some of the commonly seen tips are given below:
1. Since for a visitor to your page, slow speed and loading times can get irritating and leave a wrong impression, it is thus important to make sure your images and graphics are such that they take up minimum bandwidth. Hence, it is good to think small in this area and put some time into optimizing your images so as to reduce the loading time and improve the loading speed of your web pages.
2. Make sure that the graphics serve their purpose, that is, they should have some relevance to the content that follows or precedes it. Avoid unnecessary graphics. When necessary, you could include flash but remember that it is definitely not a good idea to have too many flash animations in one page, since it will severely slow down your website.
3. In a similar spirit, images that blink or move should be used very rarely because they can distract the visitor from the main content of your web page.
Regarding the layout it is typically advised that one should:
Utilize standard layouts and not use 7 to 8 frames within a single page. Similarly, the scrolling should be confined to down. Do not try to make it too different and have an option where it scrolls say only towards the right and never in the bottom direction as this will only lead to irritation and confusion. The standard layout which is used by most includes the 3 column layout and wherever possible, it is better to use this method of placing text and not trying out drastically different ideas during the layout phase. Remember that the simpler it is, the easier it is to understand and hence the better your web site and the web pages within it.
Regarding fonts, the following tips might prove helpful
1. A general rule of thumb used by many in the world of web designing involves using Serif fonts for headlines and titles but Sans-Serif font for the actual content and text. The reason why many people fail to follow this simple rule is that most of them are taught completely different method and rules if they happen to have taken any print design classes or tutorials in the past. However, remember that an online web design and the associated rules and the impact on people is very from that of print design and hence, the rules for graphics, layout as well as fonts can differ slightly and sometimes, even drastically. Here, in the font phase, you clearly see this in action. The reason why sans serif fonts are preferred in online design is because they can be read much more easily on computer monitors. The reason for this is that the resolution on the screen tends to be low compared to that in print. If you disagree, you can try this out by placing serif fonts whenever you write your normal text. When doing so, you will clearly see that the serifs tend to blur on your screen which will make your text hard to read and hence, drive your visitors away which is obviously something you do not want.
2. Again, while you might have several favorite fonts and not using them might disappoint you, it is important to remember that simplicity, as well as uniformity is very important. Hence, it is important not to overdo the number of fonts of different types and sizes. It will only end up looking unprofessional.
3. Most of the commonly used fonts that might look boring but seem to work include Verdana, Arial, Geneva and Helvetica.
