If something can be said about the Internet, is its ability to introduce reinvention and creativity in any industry. Such is visible, if not the most visible example, in the creation of web pages.
We are 18 years into the new millennium and things are always shaking up. New trends and new creative ideas are popping up everywhere. You have to ask, why is there need to change? If the old web page design works, why fix it? Why change? Web pages adapt to changes for the following reasons: • Trends—whether or not you accept them—exists alongside your own creative ideas; staying the same in the midst of fast-changing trends would be tantamount to giving up. • Technological advancements also play a huge part as functionalities need to be upgraded to keep up with the latest changes in the devices that would display them. • And lastly, the needs of the consumers, in a fast-changing country like Singapore that is easily bored and tires of anything stagnant, will demand for an equally responsive web design. In Singapore, several web design trends have emerged. Check them out and see if you can apply them for your own brand. 5 Web Design Trends for 2018 1. Mobile is king 2017 saw mobile usage finally overtaking desktop browsing. According to Kelly Morr, senior manager of content strategy at 99designs, designers will continue to develop cleverer ways of organizing information in intuitive and beautiful ways leading to more user-friendly experience. Back when mobile browsing was new, designers had to tackle with the dilemma of how to incorporate the big, beautiful pictures their customers are used to seeing into small screens. But now, those problems are things of the past as programmers have been more and more used to utilizing the small screen by using icons, which users now have grown accustomed to. 2. Time-saving animations The advent of mobile browsing meant that consumers are more concerned about saving time. They want information now, they want it fast, and they want it complete. Relaying information through more traditional avenues, like text and images, is now passé. Today’s information revolution is powered by animations! Able to convey complex ideas, which are both engaging and informative, animation plays a huge part in making ideas and interfaces easier to understand, according to interactive designer Chris Gannon. Animation also plays a big role in today’s storytelling. Capturing users’ attention, animations are able to express a stronger personality to a brand, more than text and static images. 3. The return of the flat design In Singapore, ecommerce website development has seen flat designs superseded by bold brutalized use of shapes and colours. However, in 2018, flat design is learning to adapt and stay relevant. Utilizing gradients and shadows, design practices that were considered taboos during the 2000s era. Corporate headers and logo designs now have updated colour palettes with softer and subtler transitions. 4. BRUTALISM (not the violent one) Brutalism basically means designers running amuck with regards to web design. Early 2017 the emergence of this design. Ripping open spaces where anything can be put, designers using a brutal approach have eschewed optimization and web design principles in favour of looks and feel, often surprising users with jarring aesthetics and unexpected functions. 5. The font revolution Part of the brutalism movement is the use of more elaborate typefaces. Gone are the days where sans serif fonts take centre stage. With advancements in both screen and font-rendering technologies, more font styles, not to mention customized fonts, are available. More diverse styles give rise to companies being able to express their identities through mere fonts alone. The next time you see pure, vibrant and dynamic text, take time to see how much bigger a supporting role they now play. These (and much more!) prove that 2018 will be a ground-breaking year for web design! Prepare to be wowed by interactive, dynamic and informative websites!
