Placeholder text that needs no explanation.
A web developer will often use filler text so they can focus on the design of the web page. It will be replaced with real content later. At some point someone will replace this block of text with useful words so customers can learn more about the products and services you offer!
Placeholder text is useful when you need to see what a page design looks like, but the actual content isn't available. It's like having someone with identical measurements check the fit of a dress before trying it on yourself. If you are reading these words, it probably means the web page you are viewing is still under construction.
If the last thing you want to do is explain the history of why Latin text is being used as a placeholder in your design, this is the tool for you! Feel free to copy and paste this text and use it in your next project to eliminate any questions or concerns a client might have.
If you aren't into copying and pasting, you can also use the API to retrieve text. Use a GET request to:
honest-ipsum.johnclendvoy.ca/api?element_count=2&length=100
elementp (paragraphs), or li (list items in an unordered list). Default: pelement_countlengthcareerI want to thank the following users at /r/web_design for contributing content and/or suggestions to improve this generator!
