Text Span Width on Desktop

Text Span Width on Desktop

For optimal readability on desktop screens, it's generally recommended that the maximum width text should span is about 60 to 75 characters per line, including spaces and punctuation. This guideline is rooted in typographic research, which suggests that lines of this length are most comfortable for the human eye to follow without straining. When translated into web design terms, this typically equates to a width of around 900 pixels, depending on the font size and typeface used.

To effortlessly alter the width of your text on the screen, you can adjust the text container directly. Just click on the text box and drag the handle at the bottom right corner to modify the width. As you make adjustments, keep an eye on the height and width indicators. Aim for a width of approximately 900 pixels, though a variation of plus or minus 10 pixels is perfectly fine. This method offers a simple way to ensure your text spans an optimal width for readability.

The Layers Panel gives you a clear view of that structure, making it easier to manage complex sections, find hidden elements, and keep your layout organized.

Breakpoints are specific screen widths where your website layout shifts to fit different devices, like phones, tablets, and desktops. They’re a key part of responsive design, allowing you to adjust styles so your site looks and works well on any screen. In the editor, you can see how styles behave at each breakpoint, apply universal styles, and override them when needed. You can also preview your site at different screen sizes to make sure everything looks right.
