The internet landscape constantly changes as new and more advanced technology appears each year. 2017 promises to be a year where we’ll see massive changes across the board in how websites are designed, and in the kind of experience they provide to visitors. Here are some revolutionary web design trends for 2017 you need to know about: Responsive design becoming a necessity Traffic from mobile devices has surpassed traffic from desktop computers. In 2017, responsive design – creating web pages to be compatible with small and big screens alike – will be widely adopted by websites globally. Google may also rank sites that follow the trend higher in its rankings. Innovative parallax and scrolling effects Innovative, gesture-based scrolling will be used to display content, including pictures, videos, and text. For example, some websites are posting videos that automatically play when you scroll to them or are using animations that come to life when you scroll through them. Videos will be a mainstay Videos are being used for product tutorials, descriptions, and demos. They are also being used to show users how to make use best of a website’s functions. Videos will be an even bigger phenomenon in 2017, as brands globally adopt the “storytelling” approach based on moving imagery that attracts users’ attention. Stock imagery will be a relic of the past Gone are the days where websites used stock images from sites on the internet in their galleries, or on their homepage. Instead, websites are now prominently featuring original art and photography made exclusively for them, including cartoon-based animation and imagery that evokes an emotional response from visitors. It’s a good idea to get your website redesigned at least once every two years, to keep it fresh in the eyes of visitors. There are fast prototyping tools you can use to see how a redesigned website will look without actually spending any money on the design itself, so you can see for yourself if it’s worth it. You can hire web developers that have knowledge of the latest design trends to build it for you at an affordable price.
