subject: Trends On Web Design In 2012 [print this page] About a decade or so ago someone once defined the web as reading through a magazine and going to your neighbors house to ask him to come over and turn to the next page for you. That has been how sluggish, hefty and tiresome the WWW was.
But a great deal has evolved on the internet that you can barely identify it from just a few years ago. Just as much as cars bring out a new model every four years with major changes, the net goes on a facelift each year.
Just before the year concludes, promising styles on web designs emerge. Half the year was already consumed. Lets observe what the standouts are:
Touchscreen
2010 was considered the year of the tablet. Naturally web designs have been striving to generate sites that are touch-friendly. With more and more variants of iPhone and iPad and almost every cell phone becoming Android-controlled, web design has created an alternative entity concentrating on mobile site designs which have touch screen capability.
See how netbooks prices are sliding further down. It just goes to show that its heading the way of the prehistoric and mobile phones is the new frontier.
Web Design Big and Small
Also termed Responsive Web Design, this is simply web designs that are adjustable whether you apply it on a wide screen, flat panel, full HD capacity 32 inch monitor or a palm-sized iPhone or a 7inch Samsung Galaxy Tab.
This is the reason why some internet sites are classified into mobile and the regular full site. The mobile sites would be the scaled down versions of the full site to avoid overcrowding. But as Responsive Web Design is rising up the trend hierarchy, so will web designs be a little more highly evolved that easily converts from full screen to palm-sized.
WordPress
Forget Tumblr (leave them to the tweens), WordPress is still king with regards to content management system or CMS. Still the favorite choice of bloggers and as a website, WordPress recently emerged with its 3.0 version with newer themes and fresh capabilities like custom post and unique article images.
Downloaded 65 million times since it was released last December, WordPress has created itself simpler to navigate, comprehend and is still the favorite son of reinvention.
Circles
For some peculiar, psychological explanation, the circle shape has an eye-catching pull as a web design. Tests were carried out on which shape has the most eye-catching power and this round shape earned it hands down. Because of this, most art logos are circle-centric. This 2012, particularly, it has been increasing rapid popularity in the web design business.
Magazines Going Online
Not that were not feeling rather sentimental to view the gradual death of print, but trees are pleased and its a lot more compact. No more bulky heaps we dont know what to do with.
Magazines are reinventing themselves too by moving to the online camp. Its like transferring office and ultimately adapting the newest technology that has been disregarded due to spending budget constrained. Its a brand new era for media.
These are exciting times for the web design industry as a great deal continue to be untouched territory. Something totally new is always developing and its just amazing to look at them pass by like a parade.
