Placeholder Text

 

To show clients a more complete view of a design that includes copy, it is a common practice to show “lorem ipsum” Latin text in the area finalized copy will eventually be. It looks more natural than just repeating a phrase like "content here", giving the design the flavor of what the final page may look like.

If you want to venture beyond the standard ipsum*, there are generators that take a more playful attitude to placeholder text. Here are a dozen of 'em:

OOPS!

Placeholder text is just that. Always doublecheck the final draft
to make sure the finished copy has been incorporated into the design
before it goes to production.
