The great about every new year is the opportunity to start anew and bring something fresh to the table. The year that was 2018 brought about initiatives from major players such as Google, WordPress. The better and safer online experience is the top-most priority, and it is all good.
The year will not be complete without hiccups like security breaches and branding stories that went wrong along the way. But the good thing is that it is still a good year and a productive one for WordPress and the rest of the web design world.
Every experience, good or bad, can be used to develop better versions, be it style or design trends. Reinventing and reacquainting yourself with the trend and a new type of design will ensure a positive effect on every user’s online experience.
Trends come and go, and they can even be recycled for a more improved version. Here are some of the best trends in WordPress web design that you have to consider for 2019:
Bold Color Palettes - Color psychology is significant in the web design department for the many wonders that it can do. But don’t just stop there. Be bold and adventurous. Try something vivid and extreme to make your design pop up.
Out-of-the-box Typography - It’s time to get funky! The traditional text is still, and it will always be. But don’t shy away from rebellious and revolutionary designs. This year is the time to involve something new in your web design. Shake it up and make it look daring.
Hand-drawn Graphics - Nothing gives a warmer and more personal feeling rather than a hand-drawn image. Handwritten fonts are already available. It’s time to give your web design the personal and homey touch of something that you created. Give your audience a taste of what your hands can do.
Subtle Animation - Animations bring your web design to life. If you want grand movement into your website, WordPress plugins. Use CSS tools for subtle elemental animations. This trend is also likely to stay but will be in lesser doses.
Sticky Elements - Pop-ups tend to be obtrusive, and web designers are beginning to lay low on this design. As an alternative, we are more likely to see more sticky bars on websites. They will be visible from the bottom and the top of the website, and it is not just for promotional purposes.
Website Push Notifications - Because of the rise of the Internet, people are attracted to everything that happens in real-time. Just like their mobile and SMS notification counterpart, website push notifications are getting in the scene. These are messages that your visitors receive directly in their desktops once they have opted-in. Website push notifications are not as big and effective as email marketing or pop-ups, but they sure do the trick and reach audiences.
Virtual or Augmented Reality - Virtual and augmented realities have been a thing for quite some time now. This technology will not stop, but instead, more and more companies will try to input this into their products and services. Users are drawn into the “hands-on” experience that they get from virtual and augmented realities.
Web design trends are just guidelines that you can follow to give your website a trendy and up-to-date look. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to put all these trends into the design of your website. In the end, what matters is your style and how you manage to pull it off while staying updated and in.
Keeping a business website is one of the best decisions that you can do for your business. A website that is updated, engaging, and interactive is your best bet for success.
