In a few of the web design trends we saw in 2012, the most significant response was designed, and now 2013 years of ringing, let's boldly predict the 2013 web design trend.
1. More Responsive design
Although response design was mentioned in 2012, the response design is still changing and innovating. New devices, for example, continue to come out (the IPad Mini), which has made previous design ideas fall apart. And now a variety of Web response design has been more and more attention, "Let people forget device size" concept will be driven faster response design, so web design will usher in more responsive design elements.
2. Typesetting will become important
Web designers and developers are very aware of the images and JavaScript of a Web site, a trend that drives fonts (typography) to become more and more important in web design, from @font-face to server default serve font (font), These fonts are always valued more often than pictures and scripts are lighter. But 2013 will not. and fonts and typography are based on content, and can be more easily answered than in images and scripts.
3. Say goodbye to Flash
Flash is likely to over, because it is not conducive to a website SEO, many mobile devices do not support it, upgrade it is a very painful thing (upgrade in the browser will be card), and its replacements are very good (HTML5/CSS3, JavaScript). TNW boldly predicted that flash would end in 2013, and that some of the companies that had backed it had begun to divert attention, and it was important that few designers and developers would use it, and that those who wanted to hire those technicians would have trouble hiring.
4. IOS "Quasi-object" design is no longer respected
Serving new technologies on the basis of past clues does not greatly improve the way we think. For example, we do not need a visual bookshelf to know that there are e-books to read, look at the cover of e-books we know what it is.
When Apple showed other companies their "parody" Design aesthetics, we have seen new hope, such as Microsoft's Metro, so the 2013 trend is that more companies will focus more on following their own design inspiration than on "homogeneous" design.
5. Use large images to create visual effects
There is an indisputable fact that more and more sites in their home page with large images to highlight the impact, and the site will be self-regulation, ready enough broadband and data, only on the big screen will be displayed in this way.
6. Give readers more space
The trend began in 2012, responsive design and the now-admired clean-style aesthetics (refer to the new MySpace design), and the white space looks stately and elegant, and who doesn't want his site to look professional and content?
7. Deeper Social network integration
Whether it's your favorite site or your new site, you're looking for more social integration, and the sharing buttons at the bottom of the article may be a bit of a pay, so the deeper social integration of the 2013 can be seen, for example, to further expand social sign-on, "by tweet" or "pay by status." Looking for new social media, such as news sites that will integrate Instagram, art and design sites will integrate Pinterest.
8. Quiet color scheme reproduction
More and more websites tend to use low-key or quiet color schemes, such as the redesigned PayPal home page. And what color will become mainstream is difficult to predict, but the saturation of the light color in the new site and mobile app will also exceed the mainstream hue, that is, the use of white, gray, black is very safe.
9. App will replace mobile page
While there is a huge impetus to the trend web design works on any device, some sites own apps that perform better, such as Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest, whose app experience is much better than the mobile browsing page. Users will more and more choose your app instead of moving the browse version.
10. The content is still king
In 2013 years, the content will continue to defend its crown, without the content, there is no need to talk about design. Typography, design, publishing, and sharing will keep the content sparkling.
So the above is going to dominate the 2013Web design trend.
