Website trends
1. The most desirable interface now is a “flat” design that is simple, easily readable and looks clean. Also the spacing is important in this type of design as a content needs to be presented clearly and to enhance the user experience to some elements the blur effects are implemented. In terms of icons, most of the web developers incorporate minimal icons wit the use of line art.
2. Page layout guidelines:
- the most important items are larger, brighter and higher
- avoid adding elements such as banners or graphics without specific purpose as they take unnecessary the space keep elements consistent and make sure it’s simply navigated

5. The next trend is parallax scrolling that involves the background moving at a slower rate to the foreground that creates a 3D effect when you scroll down the page. (Spotify uses it)
6. The other trend that has been rediscovered is fixing the navigation. Responsively designed websites frequently use fixed navigation bars to improve the navigation capabilities on a small screen.
7. New technique developed in a web design, called infinite scrolling that loads content as the viewer scrolls to the bottom of the page, which makes the page grow with additional content. Many single page site design are using the infinite scrolling technique.
