Web Design Updates & Trends

Web design trends can be challenging to understand as computers cannot identify trends. This means that while templates can be used to make blogs and brochures, web designers cannot use a one size fits all approach. Web Designers will always be needed to make or follow the current trends when designing websites. These trends could be related to chat functionality, checkout development or even updating the branding of a business.

Web design and Web Designers will always be in demand as more and more sites are being created with companies continually developing their online presence and reach.  Companies that know the importance of web design often have their in-house team who are constantly creating more and more visually attractive and complex web pages.

The internet is constantly evolving and websites need to meet certain demands. Designers ensure sites meet these designs.  It is not just the internet that is evolving, it is also the technology behind them.

One of the main principles of of designing a responsive website, is to make sure that the browsing experience is the same for all types of users (desktop, mobile etc). This means that you need to be certain all images, grids, content etc will reconfigure with no design issues on different screen sizes.

We recommend that you focus on three different breakpoints when it comes to resolution:

  • 480px – small and old smartphone screens
  • 768px – large smartphone screens, tablets and standard desktop screens
  • 1024px – widescreen desktops

When uploading images onto the site, make sure that all images are flexible. By this, we mean that the images are suitable for all resolutions. We recommend sizing for the mobile market to get the best out of your responsive design.

 

Responsive – A design that can take you forward

They are now starting to roll out ‘mobile-friendly’ stamps on search listings so searchers can quickly see whether the site is going to be suited for their mobile device. A responsive website design can definitely take a business forward, and if it’s created by a top designer, then you can feel rest assured that your website is suitable for people, whether they’re visiting from their mobile on the move, or on their personal laptop.

The easy you make it for customer, the more likely they will be in your products and services, so make sure you’ve consider a responsive design, or at least a mobile version of your website.
