The thought I am going to convey is quite evident yet specific in nature. With each passing day a lot is being introduced in the web designing and development spectrum. Therefore, it's quite important to learn new trends in the domain and process strategies accordingly. In this article I would like to go over some of the most recent trends we have seen evolving. Many of these web development ideas have been around for a long time. But I would argue that over 2012 and moving into 2013 these unique ideas will flourish. A Responsive Web Design: This new form of web designing is going to be the buzzword now. Due to rise in the digital domain with new mobile technologies and platforms, a responsive web design has become the need of the hour. A responsive design is a kind of web architecture looks compatible with any device and browser. Whether you use a desktop, laptop or tablet, responsive design plays well on every platform. Large Photo Backgrounds: We have mentioned about big photo backgrounds in 2012 and this trend has not been slowing down. In fact, I have seen even more websites and portfolios launching under this design style. Website layouts can be attuned for a very specific feeling or emotion based on the colors and background style. Large photographs are one other method to push for a very specific emotion. This unique style is also perfect for design portfolios and personal websites to offer a deeper connection with your visitors. People who land on your site will be curious about who you are and what you do. It is delightful to offer visitors a photograph and showcase a brief peek into who you are. Big photographs can also be used for displaying your creative work ñ such as illustrations, vectors, or even your own photos. HTML 5 Trend: Another major stuff that's going to keep the heat on is HTML 5. Designers have already shown their frustration with flash players due to its complexity. It is pretty unrealistic to use heavy flash files in a simple website. While designing a website for games and casino, Flash is good but in general sense it is a big turn-off for users. Source Code will be cleaner: The release of more CSS frameworks have allowed web developers to chop down their coding times dramatically. Building websites on clean source code means everything is more streamlined, and often much smaller. This is good because smaller file sizes mean quicker loading times from the server. Plus when going back into the layout for editing these can be swift and concise without difficulty. Cleaner source code will help your website get better ranking on search engine result. Era OF Modular Design: This is going to be the most impressive trend for 2013 and beyond. Now web designers have started designing websites as a collection of individual building blocks and modules. This kind of designing has a great importance in itself. Have you ever trapped in a situation when you find a bug on your website and you are simply clueless about the section in which it occurs? A modular design will enable you to check individual modules to crack the bug without disturbing other blocks. Conclusion: A lot has already been changed across available web development platforms and a number of other indications are yet to be revealed. Over the rest of this year we will surely unearth some new schemas and mindsets related to web design. The community has grown into a global community with designers to be found all over the planet. This means we all have access to share and research off each other's information, regardless of skill level. There has truly never been a better era to enter the field of web design. Now it's your turn to make predictions on the trends we'll be seeing in web design over this year.
