the importance of white space in website design

Although often overlooked, one of the most important graphic design elements of every good website design is the use of white space.

The term 'white space' refers to the negative, or blank space on any web design. This however doesn't need to be 'white', its simply a graphic design term for space, whatever colours are used throughout the design.

Good use of white space will give balance and proportion to the design, resulting in a website design with professional results. If you make a lot of use of white space, you will result in a more elegant or up market look.
