My project manager and I (designer) have opposing views on this please help.

When trying to keep a long url together, but sentence has one word before it and im forced to break lines, which is better practice? either i break before Viste so its all on one line, OR after visite so only url in on next line but then we have a widow on that middle line...

  • @Richard Depesando thanks, i'll look into that option, but because this is printed they want to keep the full url together so deciding where to break it is the challenge.
  • Is this for print or online? If online then differing screen sizes would potentially cause the issue again leaving it like you have it. If for print then I would try to highlight the URL in some way and potentially keep it as is. If online you also have the option for "Click here" or something which would lead to the URL?
  • If this is a print context and you can't work around it, in the past I have put the URL in italics so at least you get the visual prompt
  • I would personally rewrite it or break before Visite so everything is in one line!
  • @Ilya Siomin YES! rewriting it would be better- thanks i agree, but this time the copy could not be changed.
  • You could rephrase the last sentence, so your url goes at the very end of the text block: Para obtener más informacíon visite: www.cleanpoweralliance.org/CPAbillhelp
