Websites in professional use templating systems. Commercial publishing platforms and content management systems ensure that you can show different text, different data using the same template. When it’s about controlling hundreds of articles, product pages for web shops, or user profiles in social networks, all of them potentially with different sizes, formats, rules for differing elements things can break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is quite a problem to solve, but just doing without greeking text won’t fix it. Using test items of real content and data in designs will help, but there’s no guarantee that every oddity will be found and corrected. Do you want to be sure? Then a prototype or beta site with real content published from the real CMS is needed\u2014but you\u2019re not going that far until you go through an initial design cycle. Lorem Ipsum actually is usefull in the design stage as it focuses our attention on places where the content is a dynamic block coming from the CMS (unlike static content elements that will always stay the same<\/a>.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can\u2019t be any large-scale revolution until there\u2019s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It\u2019s got to happen inside first<\/em>. <\/p> Jim Morrison<\/em> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

If the copy becomes distracting in the design then you are doing something wrong or they are discussing copy changes. It might be a bit annoying but you could tell them that that discussion would be best suited for another time. At worst the discussion is at least working towards the final goal of your site where questions about lorem ipsum don\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typographers of yore didn’t come up with the concept of dummy copy because people thought that content is inconsequential window dressing, only there to be used by designers who can\u2019t be bothered to read. Lorem Ipsum is needed because words matter, a lot. Just fill up a page with draft copy about the client\u2019s business and they will actually read it and comment on it. They will be drawn to it, fiercely. Do it the wrong way and draft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s not so bad, there’s dummy copy to the rescue. But worse, what if the fish doesn’t fit in the can, the foot’s to big for the boot? Or to small? To short sentences, to many headings, images too large for the proposed design, or too small, or they fit in but it looks iffy for reasons the folks in the meeting can’t quite tell right now, but they’re unhappy, somehow. A client that’s unhappy for a reason is a problem, a client that’s unhappy though he or her can’t quite put a finger on it is worse. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chances are there wasn’t collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn’t a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It’s content strategy gone awry right from the start. Forswearing the use of Lorem Ipsum wouldn’t have helped, won’t help now. It’s like saying you’re a bad designer, use less bold text. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

True enough, but that’s not all that it takes to get things back on track. There’s lot of hate out there for a text that amounts to little more than garbled words in an old language. The villagers are out there with a vengeance to get that Frankenstein, wielding torches and pitchforks, wanting to tar and feather it at the least, running it out of town in shame in the web workers toolbox, as things happen, not always. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Typographers of yore didn’t come up with the concept of dummy copy because people thought that content is inconsequential window dressing, only there to be used by designers who can\u2019t be bothered to read. Lorem Ipsum is needed because words matter, a lot. Just fill up a page with draft copy about the client\u2019s business and they will actually read it and comment on it. They will be drawn to it, fiercely. Do it the wrong way and draft copy can derail your design review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asking the client to pay no attention Lorem Ipsum isn’t hard as it doesn\u2019t make sense in the first place, that will limit any initial interest soon enough. Try telling a client to ignore draft copy however, and you’re up to something you can’t win. Whenever draft copy comes<\/a> up in a meeting confused questions about it ensue. If you go about content strategy the wrong way, fix that problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
