  • There are few areas where you might not want to use justify. Such as when you embed images with alignment, you may want all to have left/right alignment. Other than specific needs using justify is better as it looks neat on the design part.

    It's not advisable to justify the text on web pages. I think that most website readers prefer to have their text set out in fairly narrow columns, and with the text aligned left. This makes it easier to read. Justified Alignment is actually non-standard for the web, you can check out the W3C standards committee take on this, just so you learn more on the topic. Another place you can really get helped is http://99site.me/ , they have a massive collection of domain names of websites that cover this subject in details, which i guess is what you need.You have to gather views from different parties and gauge the point from which they base their arguments, in order to fully understand. It's a wide topic for sure.

    As an evolutionary trait reading is a new invention and one of the most unnatural things we do as humans. There is an inherent friction in reading which you can help overcome with font choice, spacing etc.

    If your target audience is Western society then keep your text left justified. The brain likes to see short sentences and white space.

    The alternative is you make a uniformed block of text which on first inspection looks intimidating. You'll reduce readership this way.

    Don't justify your text. This might give you a neat looking block, but it is very hard to read justified text on a screen. Reading text on a screen is different to reading on a page, and another concern is that justified text does not display in the same way in different browsers.
