Web Design Trends of 2010

Feb 15, 2011   |   by Jill   |   Blog, Design  |  No Comments

With the New Year rolling in, the old web design trends are pretty much rolling out. The entire web community has become vigorous to bring up something unique and make a name in this wild and ever changing world of the three W’s. To keep your users interested in your business (whatever it is), you’ve got to integrate new elements to your existing website, or completely give it a drastic makeover to suit the upcoming trends in the year 2010. For a start, here are the things you can imply:
- Gigantic Logos & Headers
This is probably the best alternative to all the flashy flash you want to use on your website. Make note and remember it, “flash is outdated and obsolete” so better not use it in your 2010 website design. You can use a huge banner instead. This way, the first page of your wbsite will give a one-image impression like that of flash, but instead of the annoying clicking your user will simply have to scroll down to get the information.
- Magazine Layout
Since the internet users are inclined more towards entertainment and interesting short articles, web designers can profit this interest factor by creating magazine type layout, where all information is displayed attractively and briefly like that in a glossy magazine.
- Hand Drawn Sketches
This is a big break to the traditional graphics and illustrations you find on the web everywhere. It gives simple, unique and personalized look to your website visitors. Similar to hand drawn images, handwriting style is also gaining much popularity.
- Typography
This aspect is increasingly gaining popularity and is highly recommended for your 2010 web design. Instead of using the regular fonts, it’s always better to try some larger, more happening fonts to make yourself stand out.
- One Page Designs
Giving your website a “business card” look is another web design trend for future. This will eliminate the nasty experience of navigation and will give the user all info at one place. This kind of website design will also help eliminate the needles material from your website.
- Application of Large Images and Pictures
Large images and illustrations will be used as an invitation for the visitors. Exciting images have played a contemporary role in attracting visitors and keeping their interest build up, this process will continue more comfortably by designers in 2010 for web design.
- Replacing Icons For Text
A small icon representing the whole section instead of using words is also quite appealing and recognizable for users. This also increases the chance of people to spot that specific section easily.
- Enough White Space
White backgrounds are the best choice for your website and perhaps a safer choice too. To make anything prominent and make your website a less hurtful setting for the users eyes, always prefer white or nude background colors.
The coming year is supposed to rock the boat of web design in many many ways! However, following the above given design ideas can give your website the trendy makeover it needs for the year 2010.
