Designed typography
Creative custom fonts are going to take the place of
traditional fonts such as Verdana, Ariel and Times New Roman. Many designers
are going to turn to the use of a variety of fonts to enhance the appearance of
their websites rather than rely entirely on images. While a number of designers
may use new technologies to create illustrative letterforms, others may decide
to stick with classic faces and only modify them a little and incorporate them
into their sites.
Scrolling Everywhere
This one of the most significant web design trends
for 2013 that many people are looking forward to. This feature will increase
web optimization by making navigation easy for the users. There are plans to
enable the vertical scrolling of menus and buttons. The effect of this is that,
the user will still be able to see features such as menu headers, shopping
carts and social buttons even as they scroll down a page.
Responsive web design
Although responsive web design or RWD has been in existence for some
time now, it has been mainly restricted to handheld devices (smart phones to be
precise). The approach is a feature that facilitates the crafting of a site so
that it provides optimal viewing experience. CSS3 media queries are used to
determine the resolution of the device being used. Once the resolution has been
determined, several fluid grids and flexible images get resized appropriately
so as to fit on the screen of the device. Regardless of the gadget being used,
users will be able to read content and navigate easily on the websites with
very little of scrolling, panning and resizing.
Full image
backgrounds
This feature will enable the display of beautiful
backgrounds that are large enough to accommodate the branding of the website.
Since images are a great way of communicating, it is a major advantage to the
owners. Images will help create a long lasting effect in the minds of the
visitors. Although traditional designs have also allowed for the use of images,
the images used are disjointed and do not therefore communicate the message
effectively.
Parallax scrolling
Parallax scrolling was first used in 2010. It has been
especially popular among the users of video games. It is also another of the
most anticipated web
design trends of 2013. This approach has the advantage of enabling the
users of a site to perceive the depth of objects placed on websites. It is
going to be greatly utilized by users of interactive websites in which 3D
perception is a requirement.
