Typography is evolving and it has always been an integral part of web design. Integration of text with graphics is an important part of web development and with introduction of new textures, patterns and images; it plays an important role in the look and feel of the website.

Websites nowadays are more customer-centric. Customers can guide and get involved in web development and can give their suggestions during the design phase of the website. Thus a customer is there with the developer from the beginning and developer can understand the business requirement better.

Design trends keep changing and the recent trend is that the main content of the page is placed at the center of the page while other links and visuals surround this content. This is a striking interface and has become a popular design among web designers. It is especially useful when customer wants minimum content and a light homepage.

As web designers it is essential to know these trends so as to guide the customer through the design process and deliver quality websites.

Sometimes content is required on the homepage and it becomes necessary to add certain amount of content on the homepage. To avoid the monotonous look of content centric websites, the Split Content style has started. Split Content style divides the screen into sections. This changes the look of the web page, significantly.

These were some of the trends that will catch up and grow in the coming year. But there are some trends that need a change. Like the single page websites which require lots of scrolling. Although this kind of design has its own advantages, it is tiresome to scroll the bar.

In most of the single page websites the sections too are not clear and user has to spend more time understanding the structure. If the website visitor will not get what he is looking for at first glance, then you will lose your customer, just because of a bad website design.  This is a good trend if used for the right kind of project.

Also due to emerging mobile apps, applications have a hidden navigation so that the design is suitable for small screen tablets or phones.

For a web designer, the best design is the one that is simple to use and navigate. By hiding menu, the clicks of the user increases and may reduce traffic to the website. So a designer needs to be up-to-date with the latest trends and yet decide which style and technology is suitable for the customer.
