This means an overall much faster loading time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This style of site is also ideal by\nmany users from a UX perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reducing the clutter and unnecessary\nornamental parts of a design helps users to focus on the important parts and\nmake it easier to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>App development platform\u00a0Zero ode\u00a0uses flat design on its website to present users with a clean yet friendly appearance. The use of bright colors in the hero illustration grabs users concentration while also communicating to users what the company does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>White Space<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above,\nweb design is moving in more of a \u201cless is more\u201d mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means we\u2019re seeing websites opt for simpler layouts with greater\namounts of white space.&nbsp;White\nspace (also referred to as negative space)&nbsp;is simply the empty space\non a page. Think of it as the breathing room around page elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using white space to separate the different sections on your pages helps improve readability and makes it easier for users to digest important information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sketch as the Go-to Web Design Software<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, there\u2019s\nbeen endless, polarizing debates in the tech world; Mac vs. PC. GIF vs. JIF.\nApple vs. Android.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those in the web\ndesign space today, we find ourselves in the midst of a fight for top design\ntool: Photoshop vs. Sketch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For years,&nbsp;Photoshop&nbsp;was\nthe go-to tool for executing web design, conversely, over the past few years,&nbsp;Photoshop\nhas begun to lose ground&nbsp;to&nbsp;draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sketch is a software\nthat\u2019s built specially for web designers and can cover the bulk of the design\nprocess from creating designs to prototyping to client presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to Sketch\u2019s influential open-source library of plugins and its ability to handle so much of the design process, I\u2019m predicting in 2019 more companies will begin to make the switch away from photoshop and move over to using Sketch as their main design software.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Broken Grid &amp; Asymmetrical Layouts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Recently, web design\nhas put a lot of stress on designing within a set grid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A grid system helps\ndesigners uphold alignment and consistency throughout a design and frankly,\nmakes it easier for developers to bring it to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, we are\nbeginning to see designers break outside of the standard grid more and more.\nThis helps designers have more creative freedom with their work and create\nanother level of hierarchy on a page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating this extra\nlevel of hierarchy is extremely helpful when it comes to guiding a user\u2019s eyes\ndown a page and pull them into the most important actionable parts of your site\nand frankly, it allows for more fascinating and unique designs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some of the more notable things we can expect to see in web design in 2019. &nbsp;&nbsp; Flat Design Flat Design is a inconspicuous design approach that features the use of clean and open space, light colors, and simple two-dimensional illustrations.
