Movement in a web page
The standard form for the movement of a browser's eyes when seeing a web page is that of the alphabet "Z". The user starts his eye movement from the top left to the top right, traverses diagonally to the bottom left, and finally ends up in the bottom left. This type of form is ideally well suited for a web page design involving many images and photos. The exception to this rule is one where the web page is filled with text, in which case the eye movement for the surfer would be left to right and again left to right, similar to reading a book.
White space in web design
All web design professionals need this keep caption on their table - " White space is not wasted space". Much attention is paid to use up the space in a web page, still one need to concentrate on the spaces that are not utilized. The unused spaces in a web page is called the white space. Too much of white space will make the page look empty whereas too little of white space will make the page look congested.
Large amount of white space separates the forms in a web page, so it could be used at the end of a form and before the beginning of the next one. Small amount of white space connects the forms, so it could be used between the subheading and to introduce text. Thus, white space must be used judiciously for it can act as an eye-soother.
