When designing a website, it is necessary to fill your pages with content to see what the overall page will look like once it is finished. To that end, web designers including The Site Smiths have long been borrowing from the graphic design profession and specifically their use of dummy text for graphic designs. All of the Latin you see in a pre-launch website is simply there to show what text will look like on the page. All of the text will be replaced by the correct and relevant content prior to launch.

You can read more about the use of Latin text and even generate random paragraphs for your own use with this very helpful site, Lorem.com
