Skill method

1, correct line height

One of the most common mistakes in web page layout is the definition of incorrect line height. Line height defines the height of a line of text, so we must set the line height according to the font size of the text.

2. Correct the header margin value.

Another common mistake is that the margin value around the title is incorrect. The title is actually related to the paragraph below it, not just the separator of two paragraphs. This is why the top of the title is wider than the bottom.

3. Don't use too many fonts.

In order to ensure readability and professionalism, you should not use more than three fonts on your web page. Using too many fonts will disturb your users and make your website look messy. On the contrary, the fewer fonts, the cleaner your website looks and the easier it is to read. The title can use one font, the text can use one font, and the logo or subtitle can use another font.
