Effective use of line spacing and padding is critical as it affects the overall look and feel of the web design and if used effectively, it can really enhance a web design and increase its effectiveness a great deal.

Line Spacing

Line spacing element of design might seem a minor aspect of web design but its bad and improper use can impact the whole design in a negative way. Effective use of line spacing ensures readability and clarity. As text is one of the most common elements of design, line spacing can really make or break the look and feel of text section.  Too little space effects readability and too much space can make a visitor feel lost. So designers need to find a solution that lies between the both.

Padding

Padding ensures that text has appropriate distance from other elements of design like images and tables. Padding is actually the space between design elements and text that has great impact on overall look and feel of the design. Padding makes a design more readable and pleasant.
