I recommend liberal use of white space (or negative space) for your websites, apps, and online manuals.

It is not only important for web design, but it helps individuals with vision impairments to process the text more efficiently. It also directs them to important information.

You can use white space around headings, margins, indentations, and columns.

I think there is a lot of elegance and power in white space. Plus, it ensures that we are following a website accessibility guideline, which ultimately benefits all of us.
