The creative world of web design is always changing for the better with new tools, functionalities, and workflows emerging to take center stage. Last year saw some promising web design tools such as chatbots, web animations and conversational interfaces come into play. As we ring in 2019, it’s time to start thinking about the web design trends that are bound to be strong front-runners to dominate this year’s web design space. Here are the popular web design trends we’ve compiled for 2019.
- Video Content
Video content on the web needs no introduction. Videos add an element of mix and match to your web design, at the same time, catering to a dynamic audience who love to scan the content in a matter of few seconds to a min rather than read the heavy text.
All through 2018, we have seen videos emerging be it, ‘How To Videos’, ‘Vlog’ content, and so on. And the reason this stands out is that Google the search engine giant has moved towards mixed search results, even as a featured snippet above the generic text content. It is this move by Google that has propelled the video content generation, and integration with web design to enrich the user experience further in 2019.
- Rich Vibrant Colors
Color is one of the most stimulating tools in a web designer’s toolkit. Color helps set the tone of the website and attract every visitor’s attention. With web designers getting more experimental, 2019 will surely witness richer, sharper, bolder and more vibrant colors taking the limelight. This is strongly supported with latest technological advancements that have enabled device screens to reproduce ultra-high definition and 4K resolutions. F3.Space is a great example of a website designed with a rich and vibrant color palette.
- More Animation
Since time immemorial, animation has been a web design trend every year as it constantly looks to make itself better and more intuitive. Pegged to be a brand’s strength in the digital world, animation helps convey more information in a way that is attractive and easily ingestible in a matter of seconds. Animation improves website design as it adds character to a brand and contributes invaluably to storytelling – precisely why animation will be adopted by several older brands to create a more striking online presence.
- Custom Illustrations
2017 & 2018 saw numerous websites using illustrations and this trend is only set to become more prominent. Illustrations are a brilliant way to add flare and breathe life into plain jane websites usually characterized with dry content. Furthermore, they don’t hamper the functionality and, instead, serve as an effective avenue for presenting information. Brands can use custom illustrations as a strong design element to spruce up their website and therefore, they make for an interesting web design element to lookout for in 2019.
- Animated CSS
2018 will witness CSS animations take over the ‘party piece’ throne from video. As super engaging as it is, video takes up too many resources and doesn’t offer the same visual experience on every device. This means that the primary message of the video often gets missed. On the other hand, animated CSS is dynamic and can be customized for every device type. This makes CSS animations an efficient tool that will surely take charge in 2019.
- Bold Typography
For any website, typography is a very strong visual tool to grab eyeballs, evoke emotion and impart information in an engaging fashion. With web designers shying away from web-safe vogues, 2019 is slated to be the year of custom font selection and bold typography trends. Experts suggest that web designers will make smarter choices in choosing typefaces and serif and sans serif fonts will make a comeback this year.
