Web Design Tips: Layout That Blends
Creating a site or a page layout requires proper considerations. You need to make sure you valuable contents can be viewed comfortably. That is why tips such as keeping the layout flexible for different screen resolutions or using the right color scheme are highly important for creating the best layout for your site. Another good trick you should use is blending the actual content area with page background.
Most of us love to use distinct table or div for presenting contents, and use different color for the actual page background. This is possibly the best way to present the content of your site, and it will generate more of users’ attention to the important information. Blending the content containers doesn’t mean you should create them in a similar fashion with the page background. By blending, you are simply creating a smoother transition to the entire page, allowing the page to look nicer and more usable to visitors.
Elements such as drop shadow, borders, rounded corners, and may more can be used to create a smooth transition between the page background and the actual content containers. My personal favorite would be drop shadow combined with some transparency to create window-like layout, since the combination works best to produce a stand-out page with distinct content section.
