6 Powerful Website Design Trends that Still Hold True in 2019
A creative website design company would always choose to stay clear of the dreaded cookie-cutter designing philosophy. They would much rather present daring and innovative design ideas than to create a template website that gets the job done and looks pretty.
The constant introduction of innovatively-designed websites proves that website designers are still passionate about convincing clients to pay for out-of-the-box concepts. While a lot of these fresh ideas fall through the cracks and get rejected for being impractical, some get the attention they deserve by becoming website design trends.
In this post, we talk about 6 of these website design trends that are sure to survive in 2019.
Pages with More Breathing Room
Gone is the trend of cramming websites with huge chunks of texts, menu items, images, and other elements without any breathing room between them. The trend of consciously adding empty spaces and keeping the text count low to create a clutter free design is here to stay.
While this is not really a new trend, pages with significant negative or empty spaces go a long way into improving the user experience. This idea of designing websites with huge chunks of empty spaces between texts and other elements enables greater readability. The pairing of large white spaces with smaller chunks of texts also makes navigation easy.
Utilizing Animation Only When It’s Required
Nothing is as off putting as a video or animation that does not serve any purpose. In other words, placing an animation just for the heck of it.
Incorporating custom animation can be expensive and it’s a complete waste if it fails to perform a critical function and can distract users. Therefore, the trend to watch out for is the inclusion of helpful animated elements and the deletion of ones that are gimmicky.
Quality Content Writing that Tells a Story
Well-written and unique content is going to remain an essential building block of an effective website. Text paragraphs are going to remain short and snappy. Informative and humorous is going to trump repetitive and boring.
Large Text Sizes to Draw Attention
HuffPost has a lot of faith in this idea as they routinely publish articles with massively big titles.
The incredibly large font size allows readers to focus their attention when they are on that page and then go on to read the entire article. This design trend may not work for a lot of business sites but can be a great idea for blogs.
Chat Bots for 24-Hour Customer Support
The problem with chat boxes that requires a human to answer all queries is that they are seldom unavailable. Most businesses cannot afford to hire a team of dedicated customer service executives to answer chat queries.
Enter the chat bot.
They have grown smarter and are now more useful than ever before. Once enabled, a chat bot can instantly answer most queries and filter out the complicated questions that require a human response.
If you’re wondering how conversational AI works, it involves a combination of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning techniques. AI-enabled chatbots can help streamline customer support by handling a wide range of inquiries and providing prompt assistance.
Video Backgrounds
The last but definitely not the least is the growing trend of video backgrounds. Many designers have started using video backgrounds to improve user experience and encourage visitors to spend more time on their client’s site.
