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.



One thing that will be happening that is new will take place in the fonts area, as everyone is experimenting with new, more exciting fonts. One group call it looking or fonts with personality. The idea is to have fonts say more than just words, but to convey the idea with the shape, size and color of the fonts.

Responsive websites have taken over a lot of space too, and not the newer trend will be to carry that model over to the mobile arena. Since almost 60 per cent of people searching online do so now with their mobile devices, it only makes sense to apply that statistic to searches and take advantage of it. The software is different for desktops and mobile devices, so there will be a concerted push in that direction for 2014.

Landing Pages and Use of HTML5 video: Landing pages in the websites designed today are both simple but very informative, only few text and captions are used in the landing pages, though the message passed through is voluminous. Although flash content still has its place in web design today, web designers in 2014 are adopting the new HTML 5 video design. This is believed to reduce the websites weight on search engines, enhancing its loading speeds and efficiency.

Although the above discussed elements are the most eminent in web design 2014, some aspects such as the use of personal portraits as website portfolio is slowly gaining popularity. All the new trends in use today are directed to ease accessibility of websites through hand held devices.
