21 Inspiring Examples of White Space in Web Design
White space is the blank space, the empty space, between elements. It’s the space we leave between elements to give a layout an elegant look, a clean look. Lately we can see that more and more designers are realizing the importance of creating clean designs, designs that are user friendly and that take advantage of white space. From using white space in headers, footers, between menus, between images and information, texts and sidebars, here you will see great examples of whites space usage in web design. Remember that white space doesn’t need to be white, it may be any color, as long as it is empty.

November 19, 2012By adding plenty of white space you can leave room for big images, video files, and larger text styles. Readers need extra space to digest larger blocks of sentences. This is a beautiful collection of websites thanks for sharing.

November 21, 2012Great examples of web design giving white space centre stage for a change.

Web designers pay attention!
