Like fashion trends keep changing in New York, trends keep changing in
the world of website designing. Web design industry is ever-changing as
multiple trends keep coming and going. 2015 was an incredible year offering
some amazing websites with new technological advancements.
And, 2016 comes with decent expectations from the industry. It is
inevitable to see some patterns fade away this year as new vibrant designs take
their place. Let us take an insight into what we can expect from website
designing trends in NY this year.
- Photography
Human brain registers
90% of the information visually. It has also been observed that pictures can
transmit information faster to the users as compared to text alone. In 2016, we
can expect to see a rise in natural photography to which the users can
associate on a more personal level.
- Bold Colors
Colors influence a
person’s perception to a great extent. Bold colors are straightforward,
dominant and we can observe a growth in the use of bold colors in the new year.
- Material Design
Website designing has
seen a paradigm shift from flat design to robust material design in the last
two years. Material design language was developed by Google and is being used
extensively to create designs for websites. 2016 will see a boost in the use of
material design language.
- Micro Level Interactions
Imagine you are
filling up a form on a boring website like a bank, airline or hospital and a
smiley appears after you enter your name. Such micro level interactions can
become a trend in 2016 and add to a better user experience.
- Personal User Experience
We can expect well
thought content, personalized alerts, suggestions and action steps in the
coming months. In the era of storytelling, massive segments can be customized
according to the individual and thus allow users to choose an adventure.
- Card Design
This concept is
entering the digital world at a rapid pace. Card based designs are functional
and can display assortments being offered in a clean interface.
- Videos
If pictures can
communicate the message in a better manner, then videos are the best medium to
share information with a user. Video involves all visceral and hearing
abilities and allows user to dedicate 100% concentration.
- Infographics
2016 will see the
rise of big data and infographics. Gone are the days of boring graphs, they
will be replaced with interactive and engaging infographics.
- Animations
While generic
animations are just pretty, 2016 will witness more thoughtful animations which
have deeper thoughts and increased functionality behind them. Brace yourselves
for a subtle and unexpected motion in UI design that will enhance the visitor’s
experience to a new level.
In a nutshell, web designing is on the path of evolution towards more dynamic, richer and personalized solutions. Smart solutions will simplify the way things function now and give more room to the user for discovering, interacting and connecting better.
