Frequently Asked Questions
Where does Lorem Ipsum come from?
It originates from a piece of classical Latin literature by Cicero, written in 45 BC, but it has been scrambled to make it nonsensical.
Why not just use regular English text as a placeholder?
Using readable text distracts viewers from focusing on the visual layout and design elements, as they tend to read the text instead of looking at the overall design.
