What Is Whitespace?
Whitespace, or negative space, refers to the empty areas between design elements. It’s a foundational aspect of creating a clean, balanced layout that feels professional and inviting.
While it may seem counterintuitive, whitespace actively directs users' focus and improves their overall experience.
