Home Layout & Spacing Alignment

Alignment

How elements line up along a common edge or axis.

Alignment is what makes a layout look intentional. When elements share an edge — left, right, top, or center — they look like they belong together.

When things are slightly out of alignment, the eye notices even if you do not know why. Snap to a grid or use consistent margins, and the whole layout feels calmer.
