Http://www.webdesignfromscratch.com/current-style.cfm

It summarizes some of the current web design styles of development trends. But I have to mention that it is a Western site that is not necessarily suitable for our Chinese website and the Chinese netizens ' aesthetic. If you can give you a little reference and the value of reference, it is enough.

I'm glad to see that 2006 years of website design is better than ever. This is not just because there are more sites now, so you can find more of them that look good. In fact, there are a lot of sorry. I think it's because more and more web designers know more about how to design than ever before.

The following examples show the highlights of modern graphic design techniques. They look beautiful, clean and easy to use.

Common features

These sites have the following features: Layout simple center positioning 3D effect soft, natural background color bright (to be careful to use) cute icons (also use caution) There are many white large fonts

Let's say one by one.

Simple Layout

Compared to a few years ago, designers seem to be looking for simpler single-or double-column layouts. The general feeling is that designers generally agree that simple pages perform better. Reading this type of page only needs to be seen from the top, and your eyes don't have to wander around the page desperately looking for what you want. It also provides a more peaceful and stable browsing experience during the browsing process.

Center Positioning

From the above sites can also find a second feature, their content is distributed around the central axis.

About two years ago, you could find a lot of "flow layouts" and "left-aligned and fixed-width" layouts, and now the content starts to appear in the center of the screen.

The left-aligned layout is not as common as it used to be, and the flow layout (fullscreen) is not so popular.

As much as possible in the "one screen" to display more information seems to have been the wisdom of all along (that is, do not roll the screen). And the flow layout can achieve this. However, now we don't seem to mind scrolling, and we're more than happy with the advantages of scrolling, like more white and high.

use 3D effects in moderation

All of the above sites use some very fine slopes, a slight chamfer to the edge of the divider, a little bit of space on the background, or use some "jumping" icons with reliefs and shadows. Reflections and gradients are common, and shadows are still in use, but very carefully.

All over the place are trademarks with flashing patterns:

soft, natural background color

The above sites have a simple background, the most popular is the white and gray gradient. This background provides a cool, soft and neutral environment, allowing those eye-catching colors to guide the user's gaze.

Bright color (use sparingly)

The soft, trendy background color provides an excellent foundation for adding eye-catching features, while strong-tone high-contrast is ideal for other important elements on the page.

Iomega has a heavier color than several other sites, and its promotional areas use intense dark red. This does not overwhelm the rest of the page, however, because it uses consistent tones and simple shapes.

cute icons (also use caution)

There is a "rule": Do not use too many good-looking elements on the same page (this can affect the user's attention). (Translator note: so-called moderation)

Eye-catching colors, 3D effects, beautiful icons and buttons can add some sparkle to the page, giving people a high-quality feel. However, if used indiscriminately, there will be a superposition effect, so that the page becomes chaotic, the user becomes confused.

There are many left white

Today's web design style is very fresh, as if just experienced deep breathing in general

Sometimes I even want to stick some very crowded pages on a balloon, and then blow it all the time until everything on the page has enough space.

Our eyes need a certain amount of space around the object in order to see what it is.

Generally speaking, the more you stay white, the better. I rarely see a page, and then I think, "Well, they have to add something to it." ”。

Of course, to stay "white" is not necessarily white , but it must set aside a certain amount of space.

It's nice to see that there are a lot of designs now that use the right size to stay white, and there's enough space between the elements on the page. Additional line spacing is also set for screen reading.

Take a look at these comfortable white ones.

Large Font

I'm not saying that all the text on your website is a big surprise. In fact, in some situations, small fonts are good.

The really good design should be this: make important text bigger than the general text

Just like the design method we mentioned above, it works only if it is used in a certain mode. If all the words are big, then none of them is big.

Give your visitors a quick idea of what the page is about, what is important, and indicate where they can find what they want next.
