Transparent outline boxes in website design are getting more popular nowadays. To achieve a nice-looking layout they should be used in the high contrast between the background and foreground elements.
If you’ll use them in the right place they will give your design its special appeal and will impress the visitors – guaranteed!
Watch out for one thing – if the lines will be too thin – you’ll lose the effect because they will merge into the design.
In my opinion, they look the best on full-image backgrounds.

Resume
The outline boxes are valuable elements to use if we would like to add some soft but prominent accents to our website design.
