Out With the Old and In With the New
As 2012 is fast approaching it is no surprise that new web designs are popping like popcorn in the web. Traditional layouts were modified and flaws were corrected to better suit the different taste of surfers on the net. Top web designers all over the world are using aesthetics more wisely and designing websites that are more responsive to the audience.
This means that websites in 2012 will have bolder lines, contemporary layouts yet minimalistic in style.
Typography
That is why they are called trends, because they come and go and typography is not an exemption. 2012 will focus more on creativity and usability. Web designs will now use fewer fonts yet make use of fancy, powerful and easy to read texts. Meanwhile, since mobile surfing is dramatically increasing, strong fonts and uncluttered designs are also highly recommended.
One Page Layouts
Finally! Web designers have at last realized that portfolios and personal profiles do not require a massive amount of content. Your visitors are looking for solutions or samples, not information so with the one page layout which screams minimalistic web designs, you will be giving them the exact information they are expecting to find in your site.
Huge Headers and Footers
2012 is all about oversized headers and footers which aim two things, to attract your visitors to stay longer and to enhance their visual experience. Your header must be complimented with a powerful message that you want your visitors to remember. Meanwhile, your footer can be an RSS feed, your social media accounts or your last post on Facebook or Twitter.
Slab Typefaces
The slab typeface is a new web designing element. It uses capital letters and bold font style to attract the attention of your visitors. The use of bold capital letters is also a good technique in establishing a powerful identity online.
Other new web designing trends you should start considering now is touch screen compatibility, the use of videos, going 3D and the integration of QR Codes.
So what do you think of these new designs? Does one of them suit our business profile? or are you raising an eyebrow to these new developments?
Of course, you do not want to make constant changes to your designs every year but, it will not harm your business if you tweak your otherwise old and boring designs either. The secret in not getting left behind is not by changing your designs but by understanding the concept behind each trend.
