Five WordPress Web Design Trends (Not Fads) That Make The Web More Useful And Beautiful Than Ever
WordPress continues to be one of the most powerful and practical platforms for businesses wanting to build Web presence. It’s already 10 years old – almost ancient when placed within the context of the extremely fast-moving light years of the Internet – but it continues to adapt, evolve, and even bring in some pretty groundbreaking perspectives that make the online marketplace a vibrant, exciting place to be.
While WordPress may be a great tool, it can only be effective if you learn how to optimize the use of its features. As we have proven in our practice here in San Jose, Web design strategies should be aligned with your business objectives and in tune with the conditions of the market. For this year, there are some elements of Web design that have been identified as trends that will influence and shape the state of the Web in the next months or years.
Typography in harmony. We have learned that the choice of fonts alone can singularly drive your design theme. There are now a lot of stunning websites that rely on typography to do what it has never been tasked to do: single-handedly create the brand image, highlight an emotional message or be the major design focal point. The most common example of this is the mixing and matching of seemingly opposing fonts (such as a modern font with calligraphy) to create a cohesive look that’s hip, personal and unique all at the same time.
Responsiveness and global mobility. The most successful Web designs today recognize and appreciate the fact that people are now accessing the Web through multiple handheld, mobile devices across various platforms. Your design should be made to work across a wide range of laptops, smartphones, tablets, and others to ensure that your target audience will be able to reach you easily and conveniently.
Multimedia focus. Quality content is still the main factor for increasing the visibility and credibility of a website. However, content is now being distributed not only in the form of text or articles, but in other media such as images and videos. The visual and the audio-visual work very well and attract big-time attention in the virtual realm, and your Web design team should learn how to incorporate the right multimedia approach to achieve the best results.
Its healthy mix of stability and innovation makes WordPress Web design our preferred choice of platform for making business websites here at Littlejohn’s Web Shop. When you ensure the aesthetics are balanced with thoughtful functionality, you create a great, positively memorable experience for people visiting your site. Positive user experience, in turn, can encourage them to stay longer, get to know more about your products and services better, and eventually be returning customers of your business.
