Design Summary

Design Summary

This page is included with our Custom Theme and Fancy design options. It anchors our overall unique-to-you design choices. Part of beauty is consistency. It represents all the global, or consistent, design elements and choices used in the design of your website. Compare this approach to our Theme Starter option where we design each page on the fly.

*** Design Elements ***

(Until Elementor implements global styles for elements, copy styles from this page.)

Divider Notes:

  • Sold Color Divider: arrow inverted 20px
  • solid to white divider: Mountains 30px (squished to resemble air flow).

Design is a funny word

This is a test.

Typography

Set in Appearance > Customizer > Typography > Base Typography. A common approach is to use a Sans Serif / Serif for contrast. Sans Serif is generally considered more modern than Serif, but serif fonts are used in books and therefore are a good choice for body text–unless inspired. One approach is to use Serif fonts only with traditional industries such as law firms, journalism, etc. and only Sans Serif for modern industries. Personally I like to use Sans Serif for headers and Serif for body text, or Sans Serif for both.

  • Headers & Title: Cabin
  • Content & Body: Georgia
  • H6 Highlight Font: Dancing Script 40px bold

Heading 1

In general, Heading 1 is for page titles, and major sections of pages.

Next Paragraph: The gap between paragraph lines and paragraphs is also part of typography. For ease of reading, we try to avoid long sentences by arranging page layout to favor text that ranges from 30 to 90 characters wide.

Text, abc, ABC, 123, link, ! @ # % $, bold, italic, bold & italic, underline. The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog! 

Heading 2

Heading 2 is generally skipped over except with our Fancy design where it is used as a highlight font.

Heading 3

Heading 3 is the primary heading for page sections. In fact, I usually have many pages and posts that use ONLY body text with no, or a few H3 headings. Although you should break up text using headers, not every page works with lots of levels. Simple is usually better.

Heading 4

Heading 4 is the header for sub-sections of a section in a page.

Heading 5

Text

Heading 6=Dancing Script font.

Bold-Text-Only Sub-Header

Instead of using H5 and H6 below H4, my style is to use plain text bold header in their place. Optionally, I like to define H5 and H6 the same “size” as body text.

Bold-Text-Only Soft-Return Example
I actually have two styles of this, one with a hard return like above. And a soft return, Shift+Return, like this example here. Whichever I go with, I try to be consistent within the page or post itself.

Indented: This is what indented text looks like.

Numbered list example:

  1. one
  2. two
  3. three
