How to Manage Shadows on a Webpage

In modern web design, shadows are powerful visual tools used to create depth, highlight key elements, and enhance the overall user experience. When applied correctly, shadows give the impression that elements such as cards, buttons, or sections are floating above the background—making your page feel more interactive and engaging.

  • 🛠️ Step 5: Adjust Shadow Properties
    Fine-tune the appearance of your shadow using the following controls:
    - Horizontal Position – moves the shadow left or right

🔁 Apply Across Pages

This same process can be repeated for each webpage on your site, allowing you to maintain design consistency and visual depth across your project.

💡 Design Best Practices:

  • Use shadows to emphasize clickable elements like buttons or CTAs.
  • Combine soft blur with low opacity for minimal, elegant effects.
  • Test shadows on different background colors for optimal contrast.
