Almost every industry and space is subject to trends - food,
fashion, automobile design and even philosophy! So obviously, web design
which is such a dynamic and interesting space to operate in, will see
trends change with every year as well. So what does 2015 hold? Here are 7
trends that you must keep in mind for the future.
Video, video, video
Video channels like YouTube have become an integral part of web design. Every brand worth its salt will have a presence on video as well. Video content should:
• Be available on mobile devices too.
• Serve different purposes - instructional, informational and promotional.
• Be capable of telling a story that appeals to the viewer.
Web designers should think of including video in websites itself so it presents a lot of interesting texture to the customer.
Responsive web
Mobile penetration is growing all over the world and people are accessing websites while on the move. This means the use of smartphones and mobile devices that are of different sizes, screen resolutions and operating systems as well. While it is great to have a mobile version of the website it is also essential to have responsive web design. This simply means that your content will, literally, flow like water and adjust automatically to the screen that it is being viewed on.
Connect differently
Web design is all about connecting to the virtual visitor. This connection should be meaningful. Some 'good practices' to adopt here are:
• Interactive storytelling which draws the viewer in.
• Immersive design.
• The industry is full of talk about Big Data but people are wary of sharing their information online. So transparency and honesty in online interaction is key.
Simplicity will never go out of style
If there is one aspect of web design that is not really subject to trends, it is simplicity. Content that is lucid and easily understood, clean fonts, websites that will load easily and use of a minimal number of colors - all of them go into making a website attractive in more ways than one. So keeping web design simple is the way to go to improve user interface.
Long form content
Engaging a reader is possible with interestingly written and fabulously presented long form content. Readers want the meat of the article and this is possible only when you create sumptuous content. Of course, this content should be:
• Written interestingly.
• Relevant to the brand and what the customer wants from it.
• All about quality and not merely quantity.
Think Digital First
Every business has to start with thinking of digital presence even before 'real life' presence. Even something as small as a logo should be created with a firm focus on how it will look when given an online avatar. Pixelated logos look really poor on a computer (or mobile) screen.
Flat design
It is all about going minimal when it comes to thinking of user interface. Think of the Windows 8 squares and rectangles and you will know what this means. There is no clutter or flashy illustrations, nor even isomorphic design - just simple colors and open space and perfectly sized buttons and design elements.
