Don't Ignore White Space

When designing web pages, you may feel that since there is so much information on your website, you just must cram it all together on one page. DON'T DO IT! (there, I just ignored my rule on not shouting).

White space, if used properly, can be very pleasing to the eye. Look at your favorite newspaper or magazine and check the layout - most popular ones place space between text and pictures, not trying to cram everything together in the least space possible. Follow the advice graphic designers have had for years - put a little space between the elements on your page. If you cannot do this without making your webpage huge, then it is time to start redesigning the layout of your website - see if you can separate your webpages into categories and just list the main categories on the front page.
