When it comes to web design, trends move like the wind as thousands of new sites are launched and thousands more are revamped. But as a web designer it is important to keep on top of what’s popular so that you can you better anticipate the needs of your clients. So without further ado, here are some the latest trends in web design.

Simplicity

Since most users are accessing the web on mobile devices on large networks like Cricket Wireless, a simple website looks better on the smaller screen of a smartphone and can load much faster.

Empty Space

Designers seem to be empathizing with the eyes of web surfers because empty space is hot. With empty space, users can better navigate a web page, but also the additional room is more attractive to the eyes, and the brain trying to process all the stimulation.

Typography

Quirky images have been replaced by quirky letters. As hardware has increased in power, web-safe typography seems to be going the way of the dinosaurs as more people can load and see more creative types of text.

HTML5

The latest version of HTML programming is also one of the latest web design trends. Who would have thought? HTML5 had made code easier to work with for designers and developers.

Websites with One Page

It’s either a sign of attention spans rapidly shrinking or a sign web designers have gotten really good. Whatever the reasoning, designers are taking up the challenge of putting a whole site’s content on one singe page.
