Layout of Your Web Site
Don’t make it confusing.
A clean layout that uses a lot of white space (area between wording and images that contains nothing) improves legibility and encourages visitors to read the content on your website.
Keep the number of fonts, font
styles, and colors to a minimum.
Use animation sparingly. An excessive amount of animation pulls the eyes around your web page and confuses the readers mind.
Following are a variety of layouts for your consideration.
