8 Innovative Web Design Trends for 2020
While ringing in the new year, keep an eye out for these trends to be popping up on websites all around- they’re eye-catching, functional, and seriously awesome.
DARK MODE
Dark mode web designs not only look ultra modern, but they’re easy on the eyes and make colors and design elements pop!
2. Imperfections that add personality
Imperfect, hand-drawn design elements inject emotion and humanity into websites, which users seem to be craving after seeing perfected yet impersonal graphics dominate web designs for years.
3. Immersive 3D elements
3D visuals were formerly held back by lack of technology and the (previously) expensive price tag. However, the technology is now in a place where you can design in 3D without NASA-tier equipment, opening the gates to more and more designers.
4. Soft shadows, layers, & floating elements
Floating elements go against the hyper-rigid grid layouts that people have come to expect from a website. And with all the technological evolution in the last few years, breaking the grid has never been easier or more accessible.
5. Mixing photography & graphics
Overlapping original graphics on top of real photographs creates a memorable visual, which lends itself to letting your creativity go wild.
6. Solid frames of white space
In 2020, we’ll see wide frames of white space giving web designs a solid structure. By allowing each element on the page a generous amount of space, framing creates the perfect foundation for making visuals shine.
7. Glowing, luminous color schemes
As we head into 2020, we’ll be seeing courageous color pairings, used strategically to make web designs jump off the screen. Web design is becoming more bold and daring, using glow-in-the-dark neons and highly saturated colors in combination with darker, muted shades to give the designs a luminous feel.
8. Ultra-minimal navigation
With the rise of wearable devices like smartwatches, web design in general is thinking smaller. The area most affected by this is navigation, the glue that holds a website together. Over the last few years, navigation has been getting simpler and simpler to accommodate extremely small devices and even smaller attention spans.
We see these gorgeous web design trends and we are HERE for it! Like technology, web design is constantly evolving to accommodate trends, we can’t wait to see how the above trends unfold the rest of the year!
