It’s a good
idea to take a hard look at your existing website every year to spot the areas
of improvement. It’s important to be familiar with the latest trends and see
how we can incorporate those into ours from time to time. The trends may range
from font to functionality to color to typography. This is pretty much the
scenario in 2017.
Let us see in detail some latest
trends.
1. Gradients
Gradients were in trend a few years ago and went missing
for a bit, later on. Now again, they are back with a bang. As against the more
low-key gradient style back then, now it is all about bright and bold colors.
Two gradient overlay is one of the most used one. Especially
when there is no other image to work upon and it looks absolutely stunning. You
might want to try this out. This trend is here to stay!
2. Video with sound
2. Video with sound
This is a generation that likes to get all info through
small, candid and effective videos. Websites can catch up with this trend by
playing a trailer kind of video or a full-length informative one. Just take
enough care to see the videos are not auto play and you’re your audience to
decide if they wish to watvh it or not. If yes, a bit of options to choose
sound or otherwise.
Yes, one thing to bear in mind is that the content must
be absolutely fabulous that will make the audience want to watch.
3. Virtual Reality (Almost)
VR is the computer-generated simulation of a 3D image
or an interactive environment in an almost real way by using specific
equipment.
VR is most
certainly going to be the number one trend going forward. Every business that
requires interactive platforms will need to use VR. You will need to
be prepared to implement this in required formats such as 3D.
4. Parallax and a little more of it
Last couple of years had parallax scrolling effects
rolling big time. The mouse based movements have only gotten better and much
fancier.
For example: The website doesn’t have to move down necessarily. Also some layered design look and feel. The more real it looks the better it is.

5. Minimalistic Homepages
Minimalism, simplicity are the most essential key words
for any web design in the present times. Gone are those days when too much info
was contained on the homepage. Now it is about one simple line making a
statement and setting the tone for the rest of the journey. Heavy homepages
will go off line very soon.
6. Shift in Navigation Styles
Aren’t we bored of the top-right navigation bars from
eons? This shift is pretty pleasant. It could be on the sides of the page or a
hidden pop-up. It serves well provided the placement is pretty obvious. But
yes, care must be taken to study about the users of the site. The thumb rule is
the user should be able to understand the navigation intuitively. You must
decide this after considering your audience.
7. Neutral Color Palettes
The present trend is all about the neutral color palettes
like beige and other muted tones as against bold and bright colors. Watch out
for some soothing hues online!
