  1. 5 Essentials Web Design Trends to Follow in 2017 Website design is like fashion, in that they are ever-changing, and every year brings it own set of new trends and rules. Here we present you with the 5 trends of web design in 2017. Hope it helps shape your website presence better. #1.Micro-interactions–the small things that make a good design a great Save web pages as PDF manually or automatically with PDFmyURL

  2. #1.Micro-interactions–the small things that make a good design a great one. Micro-interactions came into play a few years ago, so technically it’s not something new. In 2017, what started as the minor and unexpected delights are going to quickly become the flat-out requirements in new website design projects. A micro-interaction is any single task-based engagement with your website. It’s usually a tiny animation used to communicate feedback or the result of an action initiated by a user. It’s not always necessary, but a well-designed micro-interaction is there to make the experience more intuitive. Micro-interactions must feel swift and easy, keeping users engaged without making them feel irritated. Next year, we will see more micro- interactions that are not only delightful but more carefully designed with both simplicity and details in mind. #2. Hidden menu–expect to see more experimentation Popularized by the rise of mobile, hamburger menu emerged as a practical approach to saving the precious real estate on mobile devices. It’s a trend that’s also crept into the desktop versions where navigation is hidden from view until opened on click of the mouse. The benefits are quite obvious: it helps create a sleeker, thus more aesthetically appealing site. However, it limits discoverability.

  3. aesthetically appealing site. However, it limits discoverability. Users might give up if navigation pathways are not recognizable. The consequences can be harmful to eCommerce websites in particular, where discoverability of categories and items is critical. The hamburger menu debate never ends. We do admit that it’s not the right thing for every website. However, it’s definitely not a “dying” trend. Most users are familiar enough with the pattern, and in 2017, web designers will continue to experiment with ways to get it to work well. #3. Break the grid–think outside of the box There is a fundamental difference between adopting a design trend to elevate user experience and to be “cool” and “trendy”. Overlapping and breaking the grid is no exception. With the grid-like layout, users can view each element one by one in an organized and logical way. Therefore, despite its increasing popularity, many people still see the break-the-grid trend as more of a stylistic choice rather than practical. However, the idea of breaking away from a strictly structured layout does have its merits. For one thing, it appears to be more open-minded, giving web designers more space to portray the creative and artistic choices. It enriches a website’s identity, distinguishing one from the conventionally structured competitors. Save web pages as PDF manually or automatically with PDFmyURL

  4. #4. Long scroll–it’s the right time for it It was once thought that displaying all important elements above the fold is the right way to go since only a small percentage of people actually scroll down to the bottom of a web page. But the trend, as well as users’ taste, have been shifting towards the long scrolling side because of the popularization of mobile browsing. If you are a fan of storytelling, you will love long scroll. It entices users to stay longer by making the content fluidly center around storytelling, aided by scroll-triggered animations and other visuals. That being said, it might damage your SEO because it’s not recommended by Google. In additions, for eCommerce websites, it diverges from the fast transactional experience. #5. More Hand-drawn Illustrations–add an extra layer of visual appeal Sure, plucking stock photos saves both time and money, but in 2017, we are going to see our diligent web designers crafting more illustrations with lots of color from scratch. The hand-drawn work adds an extra layer of visual appeal, creating a truly memorable website experience which makes brands stand out. Moreover, custom-made illustrations can be tailored to your specific requirements. Users will be thankful for the tint of fun as well as the faster loading speed.

  5. That said, photos are much better at resonating with users and establishing credibility than illustrations. Also keep in mind that illustrations should serve a purpose to your site and your users, and should not be a randomly placed fancy-looking but irrelevant element. These are the design trends that are on the rise now and are expected to continue to shine through 2017. Picking a suitable design for your website is not an easy task. Besides the trends, it depends greatly on your business type, your target users and what you’re gonna do with it. Let us know about your eCommerce business goals and we’d love to chat.
