2016 Web Design Trends That You Can Expect

Web design changes with times. It evolves depending on the needs of people. With new technologies and preferences, users will expect new design techniques. From looping HD backgrounds to long scrolling navigation, here are a few web layouts you can expect to see in the coming years.

Evolution of the Flat Design

Web developers ditched gradients some time ago and replaced it with the flat design. More and more people are embracing minimalism because it can run perfectly on both PC and mobile devices. With the emergence of Android 5.0 and iOS 7/8, flat designs became widely implemented with their material design patterns, and as the demand for mobile-responsive websites continue to take due cognizance, you could expect to see flat designs become a more prevalent trend.

More Emphasis on Typography

Until recently, typography was used merely as a detail to enhance the aesthetic quality of the website, but in the near future, fonts and typefaces may be just as relevant as the other visual components of a web page, thereby becoming an integral part of website design. Basically, companies will want to think twice about the font selection, size, and style before uploading any content or tweaking the site’s layout.

Interactive Apps and Navigation

Mobile Apps are increasingly becoming more prevalent and gradually constituting an integral part of consumer culture. This shift will significantly influence the way users navigate a site, especially if the apps are dependent on the business’ main website.
