Layout

Layout refers to the spatial and structural organization of visual elements within an interface. It is the “skeleton” that arranges text, images, buttons, and empty space to create a clear visual hierarchy and make content easier to understand. An effective layout does more than simply place elements on a page; it guides the user’s eye, defines areas of priority, and ensures consistency across the different pages of a product. In modern design, layout is inseparable from grid systems and the use of negative space (white space), allowing designers to move from rigid structures to flexible compositions that adapt to the constraints of responsive design.
