Movement
In 2019 the movement through the website is showing up as one of the top trends for the year. Movement techniques provide a subtle yet effective way for a website to flow and interact with the consumer. It can be introduced in many ways - from elegant parallax banners which add depth to your website and put it in motion, through rich experience of video banners to delicate hover-over button animations - 2019 websites are calling for a richer, more sophisticated experience and more user interaction. Smooth, flowing design can help to navigate the user straight to your ‘buy now’ button without them having to put much thought into the process. It helps to create an instant interaction and involvement into the website. This moving trend can overall enhance the visitor experience and help them to grasp your content in a fraction of time.
Visual Experience
The visual trend has been going strong for few years now and in 2019 its set to only get bigger and more mainstream. With the rise of visual platforms like Instagram and Pinterest where only the strongest and most aesthetically pleasing visuals manage to attract the users attention, it became a new norm to translate this visually enhancing experience into the business websites too. Striking, bespoke photography helps users to understand what the website is about and develop an emotional connection with your business from the comfort of their own screen. Our complicated consumers no longer buy solely into a written list of features and benefits - they now want to experience and imagine what would it be like to use the product or service provider. And there is no better way to help them do that then through bespoke visual content.
Brighter and Bolder
The attraction towards colour is increasingly more effective when browsing the internet these days. Bright, bold statement colours shout out to the viewer, keeping them glued to their screens and the website design. Bright and bold colours give a fresh look add excitement to the website browsing experience. Whatever colours you may chose remember to make sure you don’t have a complete mix and match of the rainbow. Sticking to monochrome palette and adding a maximum of 2-3 colours to the website usually works best in keeping the look sophisticated and high end. There are several ways to inject colour into your website:
Typography - use punchy colours in website headings and calls-to-action
Buttons - draw your user in and instinctively lead them to click that buy button
Images - embed your brand colours into your imagery to create more fluid experience
Graphics - add blocks of colour or patterns through bespoke graphic design
Final Words
Your website plays an important role in attracting attention of your customers and clients. Keeping it simplistic with a purposeful design will help showcase the most important content of your website, without to many objects and tabs getting in the way. If your website looks simple, with a pleasant colour palette and an easy to navigate experience your visitors will stay on it for longer and be inclined to explore more pages.
