Website margins are probably the last thing a business owner will worry about. However, page margins are quite important. They set the default territory of the content that occupies the page. Margins also determine the maximum width of text blocks and are rather helpful in creating standard spacing within sections of content. While fixing margins it is important to remember that headings, IE paragraphs, and lists must all have the same amount of spacing below to create a rhythm. The thumb rule is to maintain both consistency and balance. Avoid using pixels, instead, use ‘em’s for margins. This can be anything between 0.5 to 2.5 em and can be varied based on visual experience.
