About a decade or more ago someone once defined the internet as reading through a magazine and going to your neighbor's home to ask him to come over and flip to the next page for you. That was how sluggish, hefty and tedious the WWW was.
But so much has evolved on the net that you can scarcely identify it from just a few years ago. As much as cars bring out a new model every four years with major changes, the net goes on a facelift each year.
Right before the year concludes, appealing trends on web designs emerge. Half the year has already been consumed. Let's see what the standouts are:
Touchscreen
2010 was considered the year of the tablet. Naturally web designs have been striving to create sites which are touch-friendly. With more and more variants of iPhone and iPad and almost every phone turning into Android-controlled, web design has created an alternative entity focusing on mobile site designs which have touch screen capacity.
See how netbooks' costs are sliding further down. It simply demonstrates that it's heading the way of the prehistoric and mobile devices may be the new frontier.
Web Design Big and Small
Also termed Responsive Web Design, this is just web designs that are adjustable whether you apply it on a wide screen, flat panel, full HD capacity 32 inch monitor or a palm-sized iPhone or a 7inch Samsung Galaxy Tab.
This is the reason why some internet sites are categorized into mobile and the standard full site. The mobile sites would be the scaled down editions of the full site to prevent overcrowding. But as Responsive Web Design is climbing up the trend hierarchy, so will web designs be a little more remarkably evolved that easily transforms from full screen to palm-sized.
WordPress
Forget Tumblr (leave them to the tweens), WordPress is still master with regards to content management system or CMS. Still the preferred choice of bloggers and as a website, WordPress recently emerged with its 3.0 version with more modern designs and fresh new capabilities like custom post and unique article images.
Downloaded sixty five million times since it was released last December, WordPress has created itself easier to navigate, comprehend and is still the favorite child of reinvention.
Circles
For some strange, psychological reason, the circle shape has an attractive pull as a web design. Tests were carried out on what shape has the most eye-catching power and this round shape won it hands down. Because of this, most logos are circle-centric. This 2012, especially, it has been increasing rapid reputation in the design business.
Magazines Going Online
Not that we're not feeling somewhat nostalgic to view the gradual demise of print, but trees are pleased and it's much more stream-lined. No more large heaps we don't know what to do with.
Publications are reinventing themselves too by shifting towards the online camp. It's like transferring workplace and ultimately adapting the newest technology that has been ignored due to spending budget constrained. It's a new era for media.
These are exciting times for the web design sector as a great deal are still unexplored territory. Something new is usually developing and it's just amazing to watch them pass by like a parade.
