Some Of The New Trends For Web Design For 2014

By Sher Adam


As we move into 2014 there looms new ideas and designs for the designs of websites. It is always a good idea to continue to give a website a new look so viewers don't get used to too much, or they will get bored and go somewhere else. Which is exactly what we do not want to have happen.



Web Design Layouts: Web designers have switched to using grid design in websites, an aspect believed to increase a website's usability. This design was first noted in Pinterest, and many websites seem to have adopted the same. This grid web design format helps make it easy for one to read everything within a website, and contains more visual aspects as compared to content which comes second.

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.

In 2013, large 'Hero Areas' at the top of sites, borrowed from print, is bound to continue, yet probably without the sliders which are not the viewers best friend. Expect large areas with some print backed up with a large print. This approach seems to work well with real estate sites, with the real 'meat' on farther down. The hero space is going to be very creative and exciting.

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.
