Hottest Web Designing Trends Of The Year

[post_ads_1]Website designing is a very dynamic industry. With the fast spread of technology and the changes web industry is passing through every minute, one finds it difficult to catch the flow. As a web designer your job is to attract users and keep them engaged for maximum period of time. Not only that, but you have to give a solid message that makes them come back to your website again. If you are selling a product your biggest achievement would be to make them buy it, but how? Tools and practices which are popular today would be obsolete after some time. Therefore it is very important to keep an eye on the latest developments and trends to make your website a success. Some of the hottest trends for web designing this year are as follows:

Simplicity

As always, simplicity is the basic principle of web designing. Use light colors and no more than two or three color combinations on a web page. It all depends on the theme of your website. Overall, your website should give a professional look and should not turn off the visitor.

Leave out some white spaces if the design requires so. This will give more clarity. In a nut shell: Your aim should be to let the visitor breath.

Popular Web Programming Languages

HTML5 is widely being touted as the future of web industry. The powerful features it provides are in stark contrast to its earlier versions. With more of CSS3 in the market to promote Photoshop content it is imminent that we will find Flash dwindling away from the scene. The beauty of HTML5 is that as a designer you won’t need to test the design on a lot of browsers. Whoa! Way to go HTML5!

Alternate to Mouse

Website designers have primarily been working with the perspective of mouse. If it is placed on active links they are automatically highlighted, same goes for drop down menus. However with the arrival of touch pads and screens, alternatives are required. Keep your design more touch friendly as this is what’s going to happen this year and the after!

Platform Compatibility

With the usage of smart phones becoming ever more popular, your website design must be compatible with every platform. Sometimes you will have to sacrifice features which are otherwise perfect for desktop computers. Only the designer or the client have to decide whether they want a separate version for mobile usage or make the one compatible to all. But one thing is for sure, if the mobile version is neglected, the website will be crucified with the loss of traffic.

Embed Social Networking Gadgets

We are all slaves to the social networking tools. One of the most important things in current website design industry is the use of social networking tools. This is especially true for personal websites, blogs and online businesses. Other businesses are following the suite. So embed social networking share bars, badges and all in your website and make your website go viral!

               3D Illusions

But, before setting up a website with 3D layers, one should consider the amount of time it takes to load as well as design such a website. The year has only began and after researching and taking a survey of similar genre of websites one can decide which trend would suit them the best.

Website designing has taken giant strides in the past couple of years and such practices and trends are appearing which are quite different from the past. Only designers abreast with the current trends will be able to survive in the industry.
