Page Layouts
The column control component can be used to create a variety of layouts to suit your content. Margins and padding styles can add more space and layouts for mobile and tablet screen sizes can be customized. For more information about creating different layouts in the AEM templates, refer to the design guidance.
Margins & Padding
Margin and padding classes can increase the space around a component by 50px. Typically, this is applied to a column control component to add more white space around the columns. However, it can be added to other components as well.
The difference between margins and padding is most noticeable when using coloured backgrounds on columns. See the design guidelines for best cases and ways to use padding or margins around your components.
Margins create space outside the component, appearing to ‘push’ it away from other components.
Padding creates space inside the border of the component, ‘shrinking’ the space inside the component
Mobile
Padding impact is slightly reduced on mobile displays. However, you can add more padding for mobile displays or for desktop displays only with a class style.
Best Practices
- Avoid applying margins or padding on components in narrow columns. This can lead to thin columns of texts which are difficult to read on smaller screen sizes.
Design Guidelines
Subpage template
- columns have padding added to it for mobile, so no extra padding is necessary
