Hi,
is it possible to reduce the distance between the title and the gallery?

h1.title {
padding-bottom: 2rem;
}
Why "waste of space"? You should use as much space as required to keep the layout nice and easy to view for the visitor. Space is a natural part of websites, for the benefit of the viewer, just like it is in magazines and any other media. You are not wasting anything, and I think you are over-thinking good standards.Dane wrote:The red arrow in the screenshot shows the area I would like to have smaller. I find that the titles below the space above and below waste a lot of space.
.context {
margin: -1rem auto 0;
}
Why not drop the title completely (at least on the home page)? I don't feel like it's giving me much information anyways and I still can see it highlighted in the menu.Dane wrote: My idea here was just because of my home page, so when you first enter you see as much as possible without scrolling.
You are using "columns" layout, and the space between each item is decided by the columns "space" option. Personally, I think you have too much text in your captions for such a non-uniform layout ... If you are including that much text, surely your aim is that you want visitors to read it before clicking each image? You could for example assign titles to display on mouse HOVER using TOOLTIP. My personal favorite for layouts with lots of text would be a normal vertical layout with "split" so that text appears on the right (see demo).Dane wrote:For your example. That would certainly have been a future question to you why there is so little space here? It looks so squeezed together.
You could hide the titles only on large screens with some custom CSS using media queries.Dane wrote: I also like it because it is illuminated in the menu above. In the mobile view there is no menu, so I find it again not so optimal. I don't really know what is good or bad.
I just had a look at your site. I think it's great, a lot cleaner than before.Thanks for the tip, I'll try out the vertical layout with "split" on opportunity. Maybe I like that better.
It's clean and tidy because of the white space, and you can't have both clean/tidy and cramped layout at the same time. It seems pointless to try to squeeze everything into the visible part of the page when it affects clarity and readability. In my opinion, you are underestimating the power of "white space" and "scroll", which is by far the easiest and most functional way for users to navigate and view the content of a page.Dane wrote:I find the new view with vertical layout with "split" actually very good and clean and tidy. The only thing that bothers me a little bit is the amount of empty space in it, and that you have to scroll a lot. Previously you saw more photos, and you could rather choose one you like and then read the text.
