Before building a website, it's essential to thoroughly research the company's social media presence. Begin by searching for the company’s name along with its location to uncover relevant social media accounts and their Google Business listing. Make sure to gather and incorporate any valuable photos, reviews, and other pertinent information into the website. Additionally, be sure to link all their social media accounts in the footer and/or header. This will not only enhance the site’s credibility but also provide potential customers with a comprehensive view of the business.

Having readable paragraph text on the mobile version of your site is highly important for improved usability.

Often times, when checking off sites, we still come across paragraph text that is too small to read. When building a website, we want to make sure that everyone can read the content you have written, which is why it is important that mobile font sizes are set to a minimum of 16 px. For more font-sizing tips and guidelines, check out this guide we put together on the dev resources website!

Equal padding on all sides of columns and rows is crucial for maintaining a clean and balanced design. Uneven padding can cause misalignment and look unprofessional.

In the attached image, you can see an example where the column and row containing the content have equal padding but the paragraph text itself has unnecessary padding on the right side. This additional padding disrupts the alignment with the header text.

Unwanted padding on text boxes is especially tricky to detect because the text box can still be click-and-dragged to meet the margin of a column and appear aligned in the editor. However, when viewing the published site or in preview mode, the text box will still be visibly misaligned. The only way to correct unwanted padding is to right click on the element in question, select Design > Spacing, and manually remove it.
