When creating a section on your website with multiple short text 'blurbs,' like a service gallery or feature highlights, a clean design makes a big impact. To optimize the look of this section, focus on keeping the text uniform. Aim for concise blurbs (about 2-3 lines each), and try to keep them as similar in length (word count) as possible. This approach creates a consistent, organized layout that’s easy for users to read and is more likely to leave them with a positive impression of the business and its services. If you are incorporating client-provided or legacy content into your site and it is not uniform enough, ChatGPT is a great tool for rewriting the text to fit within your desired parameters.

When building doubles, it is important to order your collections for both services and locations in alphabetical order. This creates a well-polished navigation menu that is not only easy to navigate but also enhances the credibility and legitimacy of the website itself. Another consideration is that when each collection follows the same item order, it makes it easier for you and your dev leads to check and make edits to the collections if they are needed.

The next time you are working on a double, please ensure that the items are alphabetized throughout each collection.

In the above, you can see that when I hover over each service, the location order varies from collection to collection. This is what we want to avoid doing.

Text alignment is crucial for a website’s mobile view, as it directly impacts content readability. Even if the text is well-aligned on the desktop version, this doesn’t guarantee it will align correctly on mobile. Misaligned or cramped text on mobile can make content difficult to read, disrupting the design and the user experience. Ensuring proper alignment on mobile keeps the layout clean and readable, providing users with a smoother experience, no matter what kind of device they are on.
