Web design is constantly evolving, and staying on top the trends is important in order to have a modern, functional website. Each year the top designers identify what will be cutting edge design for the year to come. Below are just a few of the top trends for 2021.
Dark Design: Designers are breaking away from the idea that a white background was the only way to create empty space on a website. Having a dark background for your website will provide a sleek, modern look and allow your site to stand out from the crowd. Dark design also has benefits for users as well. A dark site reduces the amount of blue light exposure and also reduces the amount of battery life needed by your device to display the site.
Minimalism: Although not a new trend, minimalism has been used extensively throughout recent years, but still stands as a trend that will continue in 2021. Minimalist web design is based on using only essential elements such as basic shapes, clean text, limited color palettes, and empty space to create a simple and functional website.
Serif Fonts: Not too long ago, sans-serif fonts were the only way to go for effective web design, as they are very legible and simple. Now that screen sizes and resolutions have improved, the need to use sans-serif fonts are not as important; utilizing a serif font can bring an elegant and sophisticated style to your website.
