Whenever draft copy comes up in a meeting confused questions about it ensue. Asking the client to pay no attention Lorem Ipsum<\/a> 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. <\/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. <\/em><\/p>\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

The wise man therefore always holds <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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, designs agreed upon can have unintended consequences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that\u2019s what you think how bout the other way around? How can you evaluate content without design? No typography, no colors, no layout, no styles, all those things that convey the important signals that go beyond the mere textual, hierarchies of information, weight, emphasis, oblique stresses, priorities, all those subtle cues that also have visual and emotional appeal to the reader. Rigid proponents of content strategy may shun the use of dummy copy but then designers <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\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<\/a> wouldn’t have helped, won’t help now.<\/em> It’s like saying you’re a bad designer, use less bold text, don’t use italics in every other paragraph. True enough, but that’s not all that it takes to get things back on track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using dummy content or fake information in the Web design process can result in products with unrealistic assumptions and potentially serious design flaws. A seemingly elegant design can quickly begin to bloat with unexpected content or break under the weight of actual activity. Fake data can ensure a nice looking layout but it doesn\u2019t reflect what a living, breathing application must endure. Real data does that it\u2019s sometimes okay. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve heard the argument that \u201clorem ipsum\u201d is effective in wireframing or design because it helps people focus on the actual layout, or color scheme, or whatever. What kills me here is that we\u2019re talking about creating a user experience that will (whether we like it or not) be DRIVEN by words.<\/em> <\/p> Winston Churchill <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But what about your daily bread? Design comps, layouts, wireframes\u2014will your clients accept that you go about things the facile way? Authorities in our business will tell in no uncertain terms that Lorem Ipsum is that huge, huge no no to forswear forever. Not so fast, I’d say, there are some redeeming factors in favor of greeking text, as its use is merely the symptom of a worse problem to take into consideration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s what is Lorem Ipsum to many\u2014it rubs them the wrong way, all the way. It’s unreal, uncanny, makes you wonder if something is wrong, it seems to seek your attention for all the wrong reasons. Usually, we prefer the real thing, wine without sulfur based preservatives<\/a>, real butter, not margarine, and so we’d like our layouts and designs to be filled with real words, with thoughts that count, information that has value. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
