Best practices

  • Use text blocks for individual words or short phrases to create flowing layouts
  • Mix images between text elements to create visual rhythm and break up typography
  • Keep content width at 80-100% for optimal readability on larger screens
  • Use links sparingly in text blocks to maintain visual flow and avoid breaking layout
  • Strategic image placement creates natural visual breaks without disrupting the reading flow
  • Consider alignment based on surrounding sections for visual consistency
  • Test with different color schemes to ensure proper contrast and readability
  • Limit total blocks to 10-15 for optimal performance and manageable layout
  • Use center alignment for impact headlines and brand statements
  • Start/end alignment works better for paragraph-style mixed content
