Real Content for Your Designs
Sometimes Lorem Ipsum just doesn’t cut it. There are times when you’re designing before you have the actual content that you need for the final version. If that involves any kind of data, you’ll love this site that generates “real” data for you to work with. Whatever you need from names and addresses to ID numbers and much, much more you’ll find it here.
A couple of other similar options worth checking out include:
Mockaroo: This one lets you generate up to 1000 rows of realistic data. Just choose the type of data you want and download your data.
