Posted: July 4, 2016 |
In the current dynamic web design industry nothing lasts longer, not even the so-called “Current Trends”. Business requirements have been pushing hard the web designers to think of something creative always. As a web designer it is very important to keep up the innovative pulse as it helps you stand out from the crowd and also one can deliver to their clients in an efficient manner. A lot has changed this year and if we analyze 2016-2017, lot more is expected to change. So, if one wants to design a site that has all the modern and amazing features, then below are some of them that will make your design look up-to-date for the coming few years:- 1. Storytelling Storytelling through the website is a tough yet a beautiful task as visual storytelling gives users a different and richer experience. You can check out Peugeot’s Hybrid Graphic Novel, as this site takes web storytelling to a new level while entertaining and making us aware about Peugeot’s Hybrid4 Technology. 2. Semi Flat Design After Windows introduced flat design called Metro Style every web designer became fond of it, but there are few hiccups at the user level to accept this. Hence Semi flat design has been introduced and is becoming popular as it adds depth and dimensions with the use of shadows, cards, and thoughtful transitions which make it a better alternative for flat design. In the coming years, we will see a lot of graphics and innovation on semi-flat design. 3. More focus on typography As they say that the first impression is the last impression and the website’s typography helps you get the attention of users at the first instance and makes them visit sites again and again. It is expected that there will be more focus on typography techniques and web designers will be more sensitive towards the typography of their content. 4. Custom Made Illustrations To add a unique experience to one's website, designers are switching to custom/hand-drawn illustrations. Also, there are many sites which on a click of a button show Illustrations one has been looking for. From the designers’ point of view also it saves money and time in making their own icon and can have better output. Some sites using handmade Illustrations are lighthousebrewing, hungercrunch, iceandsky etc. 5. Lazy Loading Lazy Loading helps in viewing content immediately without waiting for the entire page to load, this technology is used in sites such as facebook, twitter etc. These days we can’t wait even for a millisecond to get the site downloaded With load speed importance in both SEO and website conversion rates, we expect the more widespread use of lazy loading in the coming year. 6. Split Content With Split Content, we can divide content into wide sections. With this and having different sections in a single website, one can put different contents and design them as per the nature of the content. This gives web designers freedom to use different textures for different sections and is not limited to a single aesthetic tone. 7. Lesser Page Height The next upcoming trend which we will see soon is shorter page heights and more horizontal scrolling functions. The shorter the website the more user-friendly it is and also the user can horizontally scroll the website via mouse and screen scrolling options. The trend for more vertical scrolling and less clicking will continue to grow. So, I am sure these latest trends will help you in creating a wonderful website and leave your clients speechless.
