Web Designing is becoming one of the main career paths in 2021, especially among
youngsters who prefer to take it as a career. So, we have created a list of new
trends web designers should be aware of.
Even though there is no rule in web design, this list is just for you to get familiar
with peoples’ preferences these days, it is still a good practice to understand them
so that you will have no chance of disappointing your clients when they ask for
some trendy website.
Clients nowadays are very clear in what they want like when responsive design
started to form as a trend (in 2014), some clients surprisingly requested a
responsive website, and some designers were unaware of it faced difficulties
satisfying them.
What are Web Designing Trends and Techniques?
Web Designers, in their projects, use some techniques and practices like displaying
the logo in the top left and navigation bar after the header to maintain the User
Experience (UX). But when the designers get creative, there comes new techniques
like flyout navigation menus, full-screen sliders, parallax design, etc. When any of
such techniques become popular among designers, it will be considered a trend.
Latest Web Design Trends
Here are the trends that are widely used by designers and requested by clients this
year, 2021.
Retro fonts
We’ve seen many old things become cool again, Retro fonts have experienced this
same flow in their popularity. Retro fonts add a certain timeless look to a design
that can’t be achieved with any other font. In today’s modern retro projects that
translates to a bit of nostalgia in the design where designers are creating graphical
elements that aren’t as good as they can be. This is to maintain the authenticity of
the time represented.
Parallax scroll animations
Parallax scroll effects have been a trend in website design for years, and in 2021 we
hope to see more subtle and creative explorations of what can be accomplished
with parallax.
Horizontal scrolling
Horizontal scroll is having a comeback. We’re seeing more web designers continuing
to experiment with horizontal scroll. Those who do it best break the pattern not for
the sake of being different but in a practical way, like in an image gallery.
3D visuals
The 3D design has come a long way we’ve been seeing high-quality 3D visuals.
Instead of being garish distractions, they’re adding to the overall user experience.
There’s a nice sense of harmony here between all of the design elements. This is a
perfect example of how in more minimalist layouts, 3D can make an even bigger
impression.
A focus on grain
Rigid grids and flat blocks of solid color can drain the personality of a web design.
Grainy textures can give them a more natural feel. We see the beauty of graininess
in this website for Studio Gusto.
Gaussian blur
Gaussian blur works so well in providing a swirl of soft focus to images and
gradients. This effect has been around for a while, but designers have been using
this in more prominent spaces in web designs.
There are way more and it’s increasing every day and designers need to keep up
with the trends to satisfy their clients with unbeatable website designs.
