Web designers are constantly experimenting with extremes, new web design trends, and reinventing previous styles. There are some designs that never go out of taste like minimalism and flat illustrations. Good web design goes a long way for an online business or a business website. Here we’ve made a list of some of the top web design trends for a business website that we will see heavily in 2020.
Dark Mode
With so many of our regular websites providing dark mode, it’s not a surprise that this feature is here to stay. Dark mode designs make websites look chic, give a boost to other elements on the page, and are easier on the eyes. Though created for a practical reason like saving power and extending screen lifespan, the dark mode has now become the new norm. A dark background helps in creating a higher contrast ratio combined with the use of other colours. And this design complements other trends such as moody colour schemes and glowing neons with a futuristic feel.
Imperfect Elements
Emotion and human touch have always been the winners when it comes to attracting an audience. Hand-drawn design elements seem to be what users crave as they put realness into the hand-drawn figures. Such unique elements help your business stand out from the competition and show a human connection.
3D Elements
3D technology came with a price tag back in the day, but now is very easily available and does not require swanky equipment. This has opened the space up for more designers. Using 3D elements creates an immersive experience on the business website. It helps with user experience as well since an interactive 3D design encourages users to stay for longer.
Photography with Graphics
A new design trend in the last couple of months has been mixing photography with graphics. This helps to add some personality to the imagery associated with your brand as well as a memorable visual. Keep in mind that the style of the illustrations and photographs should match the brand’s image. Mixing these two elements can brighten up a dull photo visual or add some character to abstract and complex concepts like finance or taxation.
Frames of White Space
Designers have been playing around with solid structures and lots of white space so that the page looks more structured with a clean frame as if on a canvas. 2020 is likely to see websites with white frames giving a lot of space to other elements on the page. These frames help with separating different sections on the same page and also create a sense of visual satisfaction.
Luminous Colour Schemes
One of the web design trends that are here to stay is luminous colour schemes. We will see some really bold colour combinations with glow-in-the-dark neons, and saturated shades mixed with dark shades to create a luminous effect. This effect complements the dark mode option on websites.
