Web design trends in 2018

So, let’s jump in and find out what 2018 will most likely have to offer for us:

Some things never go old, especially if they are minimalistic. This year we will continue to see landing pages with professional & bright photos providing a background for well-picked fonts dominating the space. It’s simple, eye-catching and professional. It doesn’t add unnecessary visual noise and provides only the most relevant information.

What changes on yearly basis is how the text is displayed. It has become quite popular to combine it with animations to create a sense of lively website. Since 2015 animations became so common, that there are hundreds of different options and almost no limitations on how you can spice up your heading messages.

More good news for designers? Brands are companies are starting to pay more attention to custom photography. Luckily we rarely get to see generic photos with the same person you see on every fifth website as much as a few years ago. Younger generations easily identify the difference, they notice it and make first impressions based on brands photography.

3. Fewer constraints? Asymmetry and brutalism!

What started out as almost a side project of self-expression in an adventurous take on a personal portfolio in 2017, seems to become a trend to follow in 2018. If in 2014 we discussed fewer rectangles in web design, this year we are discussing asymmetry and chaotic harmony. User experience professionals use this technique, to highlight the desired content with bold, outstanding elements. Exciting if you ask me.

4. Illustrated animations

With the help of SVG and HTML 5 we are able to have lightweight illustrations and even animate them with almost no cost when it comes to loading speeds. Custom crafted content adds a unique touch to the brand as well tells the story about the brand in visuals. Having these illustrations animated in 2018, while being able to bypass Google’s punishment for slow loading speeds, is one of the things every brand should consider if they are willing to surprise customers in 2018.

5. More interactable content!

Instead of having your pages static and boring, you can choose to create a lasting impression with interactable content. Surprise your visitor by providing more content users can interact with. Consider trivias, polls or games, or simply personalised experience people are looking for these days as it’s getting harder to impress and find out more about your user. If tracked these methods tell exactly, who your customer is, and we all know that such data is invaluable.
