Some Of The New Trends For Web Design For 2014

By Sher Adam


Lots of web designers are experimenting with new type settings and fonts. One designer said that in 2014 we will be seeing fonts with personality. Apple changed its design from a 3D, shadowed design to a very straight forward "flat design." And what Apple does, everyone else seems to follow, and so there are lots of sites coming out with the same "flat design" concept.



There will still be large "Hero Areas" which are large areas at the top of the page with an image and with a little amount of text, giving an aura of grandeur. This trend is likely to expand due to its seeming popularity and attractiveness on home pages of websites. The are quickly becoming a big thing on real estate websites where the sliders used to be.

Image Captions: Although content continues to rule in the web design industry, many designers today use it alongside image captions. They believe that image captions enhance an audience's understanding on any written text within the website. Moreover, imagery has been endorsed by Google in its attempt to increase web efficiency and relevance. 2014 is the year you will see most websites using image caption effects to attract more audiences.

The mobile devices will now be asking for emails, integrating with social media, sites will be faster loading and fast scrolling will help make the mobile sites more enjoyable and functional. There will be many more video presentations in 2014, with the thought of "Why read it when you can watch it?' With a mobile device, it will be easier to watch a video than read the fine print.

Color will become simpler so as not to distract. Look for simple, straight-forward, one or two color designs. Be sure to view the page as if you were the actual user. This will help you get an idea as to the effectiveness of the design.
