Can I increase the text size without breaking the layout?

Why adjust the text size

Key points • Increasing text size improves accessibility and readability • Good responsive design allows for size adjustments without compromising the layout • A few tweaks are all it takes to keep a hotel website clean and harmonious

Increasing the text size is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve the accessibility and readability of your hotel website. If done correctly, it will never break your layout. It all comes down to good style management, a responsive approach, and the use of relative rather than absolute values.

To begin, open the Style panel and locate the classes associated with your text elements (paragraphs, headings, links, buttons, etc.). Avoid modifying the sizes directly on each element. Instead, work with global classes, which ensures consistency across the entire site.

The golden rule for avoiding layout disruption is to use relative units, such as rem or em, rather than pixels. These units automatically adjust to the base text size, making the entire design flexible. So, if you increase the default size, everything else will adjust smoothly.

💡 Tip: Define the base text size of the body (example: 1rem = 16px). If you want to enlarge the entire site, simply increase this value rather than modifying each element individually.

Also, make sure your design is responsive. Check font sizes on mobile, tablet, and desktop: • On mobile, reading often requires a slightly larger size. • On desktop, a size that is too large can create a cluttered feel. • On tablet, aim for a balance between clarity and visual balance.

In your CMS templates and pages, ensure that headings (H1, H2, H3) are defined with consistent sizes. A clear structure prevents any of your headings from becoming disproportionate when you adjust the overall text size.

Also consider margins, spacing, and line height. Larger text sizes often require a slight increase in line height to maintain readability. Don't let your paragraphs become too cramped.

If some elements still seem misaligned, check the following blocks: • buttons with excessively long text • columns with fixed widths • images wrapping around text • containers with manually defined heights

These elements can easily be adjusted to gain flexibility.

Finally, always test your page after making changes: • on a computer • on a mobile device • using responsive preview tools • with a screen reader or accessibility test

Conclusion

Yes, you can increase the text size without breaking the layout, provided you use well-structured classes, relative units, a responsive design, and appropriate spacing. Your hotel website will gain in user-friendliness, accessibility, and professionalism.
