Do you use placehold.it? It is a great service. The only thing is when you are offline, or you are testing a page that needs a lot of placeholders, it may not be the greatest solution.
Enter the SVG placeholder.
Here are the properties you can set:
- width and height
- background-fill
- font-color
- font-family
- font-size
Here is the actual SVG file. As you can see it is a PHP file, but you are serving it as an SVG (see the Content-Type part?). Here we grab the URL arguments and assign them to the SVG.
If you saved the file as placeholder-svg.php then it would be used like so:
<img src="placeholder-svg.php?wh=400x400&fill=bada55&color=000000&font=Georgia&size=20">
This would be the output:
