What is Lorem Ipsum?
Lorem Ipsum is dummy text used in the printing and typesetting industry since the 1500s. It serves as placeholder text in designs, allowing designers and developers to focus on visual layout without being distracted by meaningful content. The text is derived from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" by Cicero, written in 45 BC.
Why Use Lorem Ipsum?
- Neutral Content: Lorem Ipsum doesn't distract viewers with readable content when reviewing layouts and designs.
- Natural Distribution: It has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, similar to real English text.
- Industry Standard: Widely recognized and used by designers worldwide for centuries.
- Professional Mockups: Makes mockups and prototypes look more polished and realistic.
- Focus on Design: Allows stakeholders to evaluate design elements without being distracted by content.
When to Use Placeholder Text
Use Lorem Ipsum during the design phase when actual content isn't available yet. It's perfect for website mockups, app prototypes, print layouts, client presentations, and testing typography. However, always replace it with real content before launch - Lorem Ipsum in production looks unprofessional and hurts SEO.
