Traditional printed newspaper is white or gray and the text is black. This color combo is perfect for our eyes. The contrast of colors facilitates the readability and that is why this color scheme is the most suitable for newspaper style websites, which are usually stuffed with much content. You can step aside from this classic color mix, but you should always keep in mind that contrast is a must.

The website with newspaper layout is clean, informative, structural and has graphic elements designed accurately and in the minimalist way. Graphic elements are:lines, shapes, colors, typography & textures.The textures are rarely used on newspaper web designs, because a wall of text with images on a wood or grunge texture will distract your visitors and aggravate the readability of the content.

Do you want to open each post and read it when you enter a website or blog with many texts? Headlines help us to differentiate interesting article from the secondary one. So, each content block needs to be entitled. Whether it is a small section on a grid or a full-height column, it should have a headline. The headline is to be of a bigger font, typed in bold or highlighted with a different color. This point is clear, I suggest.

How are you going to make money before your website become popular? Advertisement is how many website owners make rather big profits. Ad banners have to be placed not just somewhere but this position has to be defined exactly. The right places are sidebar, both left and right, Header or Footer. Promotion banners are often seen right in the middle of the text articles, but this point is controversial.

Sidebar can feature not advertisements only, but content categories, recent content, search box, email newsletter bar, navigation, social sharing buttons, discounts/special offers, etc. Newspaper website layout is great to implement sidebar on, because it would be just another column in the row as per size, colors, fonts, placement.A sidebar should be smaller or equal to the regular column on your layout, no way bigger.

Blogs and news sites are the most common to use newspaper style, and these websites can’t exist without social media integration. It’s the epoch of mass sharing, and social networks are where people spend much of their time. You should use cool follow and share buttons for each network: Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, LinkedIn, etc.Create these buttons the most visible on the website to ensure a better visual.
