What is stacking in layout design?

Stacking in layout design involves arranging elements vertically or horizontally, one after the other, to create a clear visual hierarchy. This approach:

  • Enhances readability by guiding the user's eye through content.

  • Simplifies responsive design, as stacked elements adapt well to different screen sizes.

  • Improves accessibility, ensuring a logical flow of information.

Effective stacking contributes to a clean and organized UI. For more on layout structuring, explore our guide on Grids and Layouts in UI Design.
