How to Use Visual Hierarchy To Create Clear and Easy-to-Read Web Pages

Imagine you’ve entered a cave.
Your eyes slowly adjust to your surroundings and begin to make out the shapes and forms around you.
You see three doorways: they’re equal in size, and all the same distance from where you stand. How do you choose where to go first?

In this one, there’s one large doorway before you. It says “Tours” and is wide and well-lit.
To one side, there’s a small doorway with a window in it that says “Tickets” above it. Next to it is a nondescript door that says “Employees only.”
