Top Web Design Trends......
1. Images on the Homepage
In the
past most people avoided using large images on the homepage, but it seems like
all this will change during
the upcoming year. The saying goes that a picture is worth a thousand words, and this is exactly what this web
design trend will try to prove. A single, large image that disappears as soon
as the user starts to scroll can be more helpful & convenient than a wall
of text.
Some of
the largest websites have taken advantage of this trend already, and you can
often see large images & advertisements on their homepage – something that
was considered unacceptable a few years back.
2. Innovative Web-page Backgrounds
Web-page
backgrounds used to be simple and minimalistic, but many web designers have
already adopted a different approach when it comes to creating the perfect
background. Whether a web designer built a website using his coding skills or
by using easy tools like google sites, wordpress to build free websites, he would prefer to insert HTML5 videos
in the background for the advertisements of various products mostly. Of course,
other types of unconventional backgrounds can be seen rather often too.
Plain
backgrounds have become a thing of the past, because a more sophisticated
background gives you the opportunity to use it as extra ad space or
publish some eye-catching visual content there. In our opinion this is one of
the trends that will really develop in the next 12 months.
3. Sliders
Sliders
are already used in many websites, but we expect that thenumber of sites using sliders will
significantly increase in 2015. This simple yet functional design feature gives
you the ability to quickly showcase your portfolio by presenting only the most
important information. Another advantage of content sliders is that they grab
the visitor’s attention instantly. Sliders
have been around for a while, but in 2014 the number of sites that took advantage of this
great visual element drastically increased, and we expect this trend to
continue in 2015.
4. Parallax Scrolling
Parallax
scrolling first became popular in the beginning of 2014, but today it is used
on more and more websites. This unique effect gives you the ability to create
flexible and unique web pages that will certainly pleasantly surprise your
visitors with their effectiveness and convenience. This effect works great when
it comes to creating single page websites or storytelling. Single-page
websites became quite popular in 2014, and we expect this trend to continue in
2015, so prepare yourself for the incoming flood of websites using the parallax
scrolling effect
5. Slide-out Menus
Navigational
menus are getting better and better with each passing year, and 2015 won’t be
any different. This will be the year of slide-out menus – they are convenient,
easy-to-use, and give you the ability to show more important content on your
website. These menus are also incredibly useful when it comes to optimizing
your website’s navigation for mobile devices. Navigation
improvement is a must, and it looks like slide-out menus will be the biggest
thing to happen to website navigation in 2015.
6. Ghost Buttons
Last, but
not least – ghost buttons. Ghost buttons are actually a pretty simple thing,
but they are becoming more and more widely used. They are minimal, stylish and
very easy to create, and usually they are combined with a cool and simple hover
animation. We expect them to be used more often in 2015, and we think that they
are a great way to end our collection of the top 10 web design trends of 2015.
Ghost buttons are used on many websites, but we expect them to
become even more popular in 2015. They are easy to create, very appealing to
the eye, and they are a great final touch to an overall great web design.
