You probably look through business websites every single day and never have a single thought about what you are suddenly drawn to or click. Matter of fact you most likely clicked this blog because of a title that questions your awareness. Design trends are the exact same way. They are built into things to create appeal and modernize today’s websites. Businesses use these all the time to make their website more attractive to today’s type of people. Let’s look at some examples.
Heavy yet Simple, Fonts
You can see a prime example in the heading above this paragraph. Some of the most popular companies use this type of design trend for a pretty simple reason. They are easy to read, easy to contrast on a background, and they also get rid of any “claustrophobia” you may feel when trying to navigate a website. It creates a sense of freedom and the feel of new.
Grid Layout
Grid Layout is by far one of the most used design trends when it comes to business and shopping. Amazon uses this to promote a lot of different types of merchandise on one page and the grid layout makes it easy to navigate, view, and click. This allows consumers like me and you to get recommendations off the bat that would be good for us based on our shopping history. The grid just effectively communicates info.
Fixed Links / Fixed Menus
This in my opinion should not continue to be a design trend for 2020 as it seems to get in the way. Fixed links or menus are items that are on the sides of your page and scroll with you at all times. The “Contact Us for a Free Quote” on the side of the example above is a fixed links. No matter where you go it will always stay on the page. This renders it a little annoying and there is no way to get rid of it if you aren’t interested.
