White space in the case of UX/UI design refers to empty or unused areas in a design layout or composition. It doesn’t have to be white; it doesn’t have to have content or visual elements. White space is intentionally left blank to create balance, improve readability, and enhance the overall visual appeal of a design. It separates and organizes elements, making the content of your web pages easier to read and the web design more aesthetically pleasing.
