Design and Readability Best Practices

Last modified: December 4, 2025

You are here:

Use left-aligned text for body copy
Avoid ALL CAPS for more than a few words
Never underline non-link text
No justified text for long paragraphs (creates “rivers of white”)
Use sufficient line height and paragraph spacing (WCAG 1.4.12 Text Spacing). The UAMS CMS handles this by default.
Do not use more than 1 exclamation point (!) on a page.
