Typography & Hierarchy
Typography plays a critical role in establishing hierarchy on a website, as it helps organize content and guides users through the information seamlessly. By changing things like font size or boldness, you can make certain text, like titles or buttons, stand out so people notice them first. For example, bigger, bold text might show a headline or a “Buy Now” button, while smaller text can provide extra details. This helps users follow along easily without getting confused. Good use of text styles makes the website not only look better but also feel easier to use, guiding visitors through the most important parts.

Hierarchy Examples
Hierarchy is important when writing website content because it organizes information in a way that helps users easily scan, understand, and engage with key points. Using headings, subheadings, and formatting like bullet points ensures that the most important content stands out and guides visitors through the page naturally. This improves readability, enhances user experience, and supports SEO by making content more accessible to both users and search engines. Without clear hierarchy, content can become confusing and harder to navigate, leading to a poor user experience.
