2. White Space

White space is often a forgotten part of UI designs. The proper use of white space can improve the UI of the application. For example, consider the two pens.

For extra white spaces in the section, you can always apply margin or padding depending upon the UI. Also always apply a line height> 1.5 for better readability. Consistency in white space is also very crucial.

Always put everything inside a container and give it a max-width so that after this specific width, the content will stretch no more. Dont forget to give auto margins in order to make it horizontally centered.

.container{
    width: 90%;
    max-width: 1080px;
    margin: 0 auto;
}
