What makes a site look finished.

WHAT SHOULD BE CONSISTENT

Fonts and sizes Colours Button styles Spacing between sections Heading styles Image treatment Navigation and footer Tone of writing

WHY IT MATTERS

Inconsistency reads as unfinished or unprofessional, even when a visitor cannot articulate what is wrong.

A site where three pages look slightly different suggests nobody is paying attention.

HOW IT HAPPENS

Pages added at different times by different people Content pasted from elsewhere, bringing its formatting A page builder used differently on different pages Images at inconsistent sizes and styles

PREVENTING IT

Decide the styles once and apply them Paste text as plain text, then format it Use the same image dimensions for the same purposes Check new pages against existing ones

CHECKING

Look at every page in sequence. Inconsistency is obvious when pages are viewed together and invisible when viewed individually.

THE SIMPLEST FIX

Fewer variations. One button style, two heading sizes, one image treatment.
