9 cutting-edge web design trends for
2018
Visit us at : http://www.thegirafe.com/
Briefly, website design means planning, creation
and updating of websites. Website design also
involves information architecture, website
structure, user interface, navigation ergonomics,
website layout, colors, contrasts, fonts and
imagery (photography) as well as icons design.
All these website elements combined together
form websites.
The Girafe Mohali is no way behind in providing
online solutions like web application and website
designing and web development. It provides best
digital marketing services.
As a digital medium, web design is far more subject to shifts in technology than its
traditional print forbearers. 2017 saw many advancements, including the mobile usage
finally overtaking desktop browsing.
This means 2018 is going to have to fully utilize mobile functionality in ways we’ve
never seen before while desktops must continue to evolve to stay relevant. With all
that in mind, let’s take a look at some notable web design trends coming poised to take
over in 2018.
a. Drop shadows and depth :-
With grids and parallax layouts, web designers are playing with
shadows more than ever to create depth and the illusion of a world
beyond the screen.
b. Vibrant, saturated color schemes :-
2018 is definitely the year for super excess colors online. Vibrant
and even clashing colors can be useful for newer brands hoping
to instantly attract their visitors’ attention, but it is also perfect
for brands who want to set themselves apart the ‘web-safe’ and
the traditional.
c. Particle backgrounds:-
Particle backgrounds are a great solution to performance issues
websites run into with a video background. These animations
are lightweight JavaScript that allow movement to be created as
a natural part of the background, all without taking too long to
load.
d. Mobile first:-
As mentioned earlier, mobile browsing has now officially surpassed
desktop. Almost everyone these days shops and orders on their
smartphone.
e. Custom illustrations :-
Illustrations are great, versatile media for creating images that are
playful, friendly and add an element of fun to a site. Experienced
artists can make illustrations that are full of personality and
tailored to a brand’s tone—what all brands strive for in markets
that get more crowded each year.
f. Big, bold typography :-
Typography has always been a powerful visual tool, able to
create personality, evoke emotion and set tone on a website all
while conveying important information. The trend of large
letters, contrasting sans serif and serif headings help create
dynamic parallels, improve UX and best of all, keep the visitor
reading your website.
g. Dynamic gradients:-
Over the last few years, flat design has been a much preferred web design trend over dimensional
colors, but gradients are making a big comeback in 2018. Last time gradients were around, they were
seen mainly in the form of subtle shading to suggest 3D (Apple’s iOS icons were a great example).
Now, gradients are big, loud and full of color.
