Reigning Web Design Trends In 2016

It's undeniable that a convincing, as well as a comprehensive website does really matter! As Paul Rand, an American art director and graphic designer states, Design is the silent ambassador of your brand. This is so very true! Though one must not to judge a book by its cover, it is not true in the case of designing a website. On the very first phase, it is the website that facelifts the company and its business. And, the attractive and groundbreaking web designs attract many eyeballs. In the words of Alina Wheeler (a famous author), Design is intelligence made visible. Isn't it interesting that something so superficial like a website design can influence the development of your business? So, to keep up with what's upcoming, let's check out what all designs will be in power in 2016.

Colors: Bold and Bright With 80s Vibe!

With the flat design trend, the bold and bright colors were already at the go and are persisting to acquire impetus. Colors are a good tool as they enhance the perception of an object and are more upfront and influential Uber, Airbnb, Spotify, and Medium have already shown outstanding redesigns in the startup ecosystem. While there was frequent use of big colors in 2015, bold and bright colors are expected to be used with a pinch of 1980s vibe in 2016.

Tiny Animations: It's About Liveliness!

In 2017, it is expected that the focus will be more on adding the taste of interactions. Animation has been one of the trends that were prevalent in 2016 and is guessed that it will reign in 2017 as well. Be crystal clear about the two things why is the effect created and what its purpose is and there you go! Even if the moving elements decrease in size, they are still going to be right there engaging users in an entertaining manner.

Card-Style Interfaces On The Go!

Quickly stepping in the digital world, the card-style design is prevalent for centuries. The card-style design is one of the chief components that came out of the material design. Right from the apps to the websites to printed bits, the card-style design is everywhere. The ambassador for this particular web design is none other than Pinterest. It helps in showcasing multiple elements at a place. In addition to this, it is more engaging and helps in retaining the information in an ordered manner. Already, prominent tech players such as Twitter, Google, MySpace, and Spotify have adopted it recently.

More Of Hamburger

Making the function effortlessly identifiable, the hamburger icons are widely in use and are guessed that it will be used in 2016 as well. Hamburger icons are considered as one of the handy tools for enhancing a website design. Right from the argued hamburger icons to the turfs through design projects, iconography is there in a very big picture. There are ample of designers who are now coming up with fun UI and icon kits, which are easy to use and hence, make the work easier as well as affordable with icons.

Artworks and Sketches Will Also Be There

Artworks and Sketches are also expected to sway in the year 2016 as both of them bring an entertaining pinch of eccentricity to the design of the website. Not only meant for kids, but this sort of design will work for all kinds of sites. Plus, illustrations are also growing for the fact that they create a feeling of being more personal since they are hand-drawn. This is how illustrations also help in building goods connections with the users.

Ghost Buttons Are Not Going Anywhere

We have noticed the ghost buttons placed aptly in the mid of the large background but never tried to know how they differ from the clickable that are generally placed on the website. Ghost buttons are comparatively larger than the traditional clickable and have a white outline with no filling or some text inside. With the growing acclaim of the minimal design, designers have started incorporating ghost buttons more and more in their designs. The buttons do not look like the traditional buttons but do the same work. The ghost buttons do not disrupt the visuality of the images. These buttons occupy a larger space on screen and are displayed only on the about section or the homepage of the website. With this, we come to a conclusion that the web designers are going to pay their attention to not only a single web design but much other at a time. One thing is clear that in order to create an engaging and communicative website, a site is required to implement multiple trending styles. There are a number of prominent Website Designing companies outside, go ahead and let them help you to create you dream website!
