For the love of ipsum
Everyday business can be serious, tasks assigned, deadlines to meet, strategies to form. Why not lighten the load when developing your website with us.
As part of the design process we will mock up design layouts often using “dummy content”. The first port of call for copy tended to be Lorem Ipsum, which is a bunch of latin text that we use to show how blocks of text appear in the design. Its really useful as we can use different length copy to show how it effects the aesthetic of the site, showcase the fonts we recommend and allows us to develop the website without having all of the copy created right at the start of the process.
In a recent blog post from Shopify they highlighted some great funny alternatives to the mundane Lorem. Here is my Top 5 favourites from the list.

So when your proceeding with your website let us know if you fancy using one of these alternatives to the standard dummy text.
