TOP 7 WEB DESIGN TRENDS OF 2016

Design of a website gives visitors a reason to decide whether or not to stay on a website. While catchy websites attract more readers, poorly designed websites are falling short to attract the visitors. The content quality and other website features stand after the design. So, for a WordPress developer it is must to ensure that every website he designs is visually appealing while complying with the web design trends. Let us see the Top 7 Web Design Trends of 2016.
Trend 1 – One page flat design
For last 2-3 years, websites with single page are in huge demand. The reason is the design of these website is really awesome. Due to the flat design, these websites load fast. The users have to scroll through the website to access its various sections rather than clicking the menu items. And, for the users with tablets and phones, these types of websites are really easy to go through.
Trend 2 – Side bars are getting place into the footer
Yes, it is true that many websites still need sidebars like news sites, blogs, etc. but for business websites, there is no more need to add sidebars. Business websites focus more on showcasing their qualities and achievements while not making the users to distract their mind.
Trend 3 – Responsiveness   
As the Internet users are more active now on mobile phones and tablets, responsive website design has become a must for a WordPress developer. More than 80% website owners look for a fully responsive website so that they do not need to develop a mobile friendly website from a scratch.
Trend 4 – Video Integration
People love to watch videos more than reading the text. And, as the trend is growing up, it has become a necessity to include this in Web Design as well. If a WordPress theme does not support video integration, believe me, 90% of the users will not install it. So, it is must for a WordPress Developer to take this trend seriously.
Trend 5 – Big Banners and Intense Color
Yes, be it a blog or a company website, banners are important. In fact, a company website looks incomplete without banners. However, in 2016, the trend for a banner has changed. Now, it is the time for big banners covering the full screen while having a button on it to take the user to the relevant page.
Trend 6 – Rich Animations
Storytelling has been in the industry for many years, but the year 2016 has brought into the web design through animations. Today, people love animations more, as they make them understand a concept quickly.
Trend 7 – Material Design
Since 2015, the concept of material design has been a part of web design. And, the journey is going on and will not take a rest for many years, as it does not rely on a particular framework. The Wordpress developers have the flexibility to take this approach to a next level by using the front-end tools they have.
