After looking into our crystal ball and seeing a glimpse of what the future brings to the art of web design, we are ready to share our predictions for most likely web design trends of 2013. Please enjoy!
Responsive
Let’s be real, people are not surfing the net just on their computers anymore. It’s expanded through tablets and mobile phone devices, and with that demand comes responsive web design.
Multi-Direction Scrolling
In 2012, parallax scrolling was a hot topic in the design world and it definitely will continue, but this trend will be mixed in with other forms of scrolling. Up and down will no longer be the norm.
Grid-Based Layout
The social media giant Pinterest started a revolution in web design. From operating systems to other social media websites, there will be more web designs that will follow Pinterest’s example.
Fullscreen Image Backgrounds
A continuation of last year’s big backgrounds, it has gained popularity as time has progressed. Large images rather than illustrations have paved the way for the present state of website backgrounds.
Single Page
Was this a trend last year? Yes. Will it continue to be trend in the future? Probably. Once you think you have seen all that single page websites have to offer, there is one clever little web designer that will push a new way of using the one page website.
Minimalism
Here we have the OCD of web design with it’s clean and perfectly aligned edges away from the chaotic, crowded, overwhelming websites from the past. The less is more approach is the key to this trend.
