8. Spacer

In web design, aesthetics and user experience are of utmost importance. They involve not just the colors, fonts, and images, but also how elements are laid out on a page. One crucial aspect of this is the effective use of space between elements, contributing to a well-structured and visually appealing site.

One of our go-to tools for creating this essential separation is the Spacer element. It's an incredibly flexible and user-friendly feature that helps enhance the structure of your website by creating deliberate spaces between different elements.

Let's consider a scenario. You have a button and a text block that are placed too closely together on your page, creating a cramped and unappealing look. We need to introduce some space between these two to improve the visual hierarchy and readability.

Here's how to do it:

1. Locate the Spacer element: First, open up your elements drawer and select the Spacer element.

2. Drag and Drop: Click, hold, and drag the Spacer, then drop it where you see a line between the two elements you want to separate.

3. Adjust the Height: You can now select and interact with the Spacer. Adjust its height by dragging the handle located at the bottom of the Spacer.

4. Fine-Tune Settings: For more precision, go to the Spacer's settings where you can dial in a specific height. Choose the values as per your needs, be it in pixels, viewport height, or M value.

One of the great advantages of the Spacer is its responsiveness. When considering different displays, such as tablets and mobile devices, you can set the height independently to ensure the content looks its best, no matter the device.

To adjust for responsive displays, select the Spacer from the settings, and here you can set the height independently on these displays. This flexibility allows for the optimal arrangement of your content, ensuring a great viewing experience, be it on desktop, tablet, or mobile.

The Spacer element provides a simple yet effective solution to one of the most overlooked aspects of web design. By understanding and utilizing it, you'll significantly improve the look and user experience of your website. So, start using the Spacer, and give your content the space it deserves.
