Rising Trends in Modern Website Design

May 1, 2013 By Devlounge

The field of web design has been growing by leaps and bounds. Over the past 2 years we have seen tremendous strides in the realm of CSS3, jQuery, browser support, and HTML5 webpage elements. Most developers are willing to move towards these trends and build a semantic community based around similar goals and ideologies.

The Internet has taken the world by storm and we are not letting up. There are more young web designers joining the ranks every day. I think it is a noble cause and provides a means for quickly distributing information. When people first get into studying web design there are a number of common questions which arise. I hope to address a couple of these and provide some relief with newer web developers getting into frontend coding, too.

Cloud Development

One very common trend you will find among designers is to build mockups right within the browser window. A couple popular webapps named jsFiddle along with Codepen are both free for all regular users. Both are an amazing service and I definitely recommend them to any young web designers. It can be great practice for HTML5/CSS3/JS and you do not even need to have software installed on your machine. It doesn’t even need to be done on the same computer!

New trends in web design: think big, think large, think wall-size poster

September 20, 2010 By Franky Branckaute

Two fundamental rules of web design eagerly taught by most experts until not so long ago were: a) web design doesn’t work the same as print design, and b) when designing a web page, be mindful of prevailing conventions. Both rules are still valid to a certain extent, but not absolutely. [Read more…]

Friday Focus 01/15/10: Uppercase

January 15, 2010 By Sophia Lucero

At one point in our internet lives, we learned to avoid typing in all caps, because it meant we were yelling. At another point, we became attachmented to typing in lowercase, because it looked and felt cool. We see a lot of designs going lowercase in many portions of text, but nowadays, going uppercase is is all the rage. These designs seem to pull that off quite well.

Designs of the Week

Giraffe Restaurants

The largest amount of custom web fonts and uppercase text I’ve seen, methinks. But oh my goodness does it work. I can’t stop looking at it!

DIBI Conference

Looks good overall, but I have a problem with the typeface in the body. Why use a different one from the logo?

Riot Industries

Enjoying the minimal treatment here—just because you’re using a bold fonts you should be all in-your-face with your design. I just wish the About pullout section were styled a little bit more similar to the rest of the site.

Atom Bicycles

There are several different fonts on this site but it doesn’t go too far.

Friendly Duck

I’m liking the center-aligned header/blurb here. Very nicely spaced too.

Artery Recordings

My gripes are under the hood: using JavaScript for image hovers, tables, and <br />s (instead of <p>s). Tsk tsk tsk.

Windrock Lodge

The inner pages need to be more consistently styled with the overall grungy look, but points for almost getting there.

First step to a better ’07: Forget ’06

January 1, 2007 By Devlounge

Ah, the New Year is here. The first day of a new year always brings in countless promises you make to yourself, in hopes that you can be better person over the course of the upcoming year.

Devlounge - 2007

From “I want to quit smoking” to “I want to lose 20 pounds”, New Year’s resolutions fly around like mosquitoes in the middle of a summer evening. But what about the web? How can you improve your work ethic, designing habits, and increase business in the upcoming year?

How would I suggest you get started? By forgetting just about everything you heard, saw, and learned in 2006.

What 2006 Was

You’re probably saying, “are you serious buddy, or are you hungover from New Years Eve activities?”. Of course I’m serious, because 2006 was a year full of overly used trends and designing techniques; a year where we saw innovation at its best, but a lack of innovating those innovations.

Devlounge - Buzzwords of 2006

Trends – First 2006 was a year full of trends. Designers around the web followed in the footsteps of the person in front of them simply because it worked. The design world isn’t Hollywood people, and there’s no need to do something one way simply because that’s what everyone else is doing.

For example, you probably saw a lot of web applications launch in 2006 that used the same “37Signals” inspired design layout – a banner / logo about the project and brief description, followed by a few boxes on the left and right sides of the page with screenshots and feature descriptions about the project. The originality was unfortunately very lacking.

A new year gives you a blank canvas to experiment on. Experimental layouts can sometimes work out extremely well and pay off in the long run. Forget about “what’s worked” recently and start your own layout trends that others will be grabbing hold to come December of 2007.

Gloss, Gloss, and more Gloss
– 2006 was also a year about gloss. Who knew that adding a gradient to give a “shiny” effect to just about anything would make such a strong impact in the web world? When someone went so far as to create a web 2.0 logo generator that was simply text with a reflection and gloss, and worse, people actually used it for their logos, you knew there was a problem.

And it’s not like this “glass-like” technique was just created over the past year, because it has really been around for ages, but it just took until recently before it could “explode” onto the design scene. So I’ll tell you my friends, you don’t need it, and using it, especially all over the place, doesn’t make you any better of a designer just because you see it everywhere.

Web 2.0 Nonsense – Yes, our favorite word or phrase (whatever you’d like to call it) that was thrown around like crazy in 2006 was Web 2.0. Whatever you think about the word, it’s time you rip it up, burn it, or even spit on it, because there is no meanings behind the phrase.

With everyone you ask – and sometimes even every time you ask the same person – you get different responses. I’ve given up trying to define a phrase with such wide-openness as “web 2.0”. If you payed attention in 2006, there were countless requests on forums for a “web 2.0” style design for all different types of sites, and I’d just sit their asking myself “what the [explicit] do these people expect?”. I never would have thought that having “web 2.0” skills would be a requirement for so many freelancing jobs.

Stop labeling and just get busy designing. Putting a term like that on design really limits a persons imagination, because new talent coming into the industry thinks that’s the only way to work if they plan to be successful, which of course is not true at all. Use the new year to let your imagination flow, and don’t worry to much if it might not be considered “the norm” these days.

Beta doesn’t spell better – Finally, I noticed so many places tagging themselves in a “beta” stage that it started to make me sick. The term, which in terms of computers and the internet means “preliminary or testing stage of a software or hardware product; “a beta version”; “beta software”” was stuck on sites just for the hell of it to make them seem “cool”. Can’t you think of any other word to describe a new site or application? “New” is always a good choice, and even “public preview”. To use a word meant to describe software and hardware on newly launched sites was just ridiculous, especially because it was so damn overused.

What you should carry over in ’07

The only advancement worth carrying over in 2007 is the use of standards. Proudly, we saw a tremendous rise in standards based design with less table usage and more concern about cross-browser compatibility and accessibility. This is the direction we need to continue to head in and follow in 2007, regardless of all the other things that occurred in 2006.

Use the new year as a chance to start fresh, and to expose your own creativity without worry about “is this what everyone likes right now?”. Get out there and kick 2006 in the ass and break away from the form that became the standard in 2006. Happy 2007 everyone. Let is be a healthy year and one for your own expression to overrule over the general ideas of the public.

Friday Focus #11

December 29, 2006 By Devlounge

And you thought we’d just rest after the holidays! Nope, Friday Focus is still here, with the very last one for 2006. This was an extremely busy week for DL, as we went through server moves, some adjustments, and published two new interviews. Besides are busy world, the rest of the design and development world also kept moving, and we’ve got plenty to talk about.

Sites of the Week

First this week comes Pipeline Deals, a new web application to track deals and offers. Yes, it is another tracker, but I did think the site design was pretty cool, and reminded me of Mint because of the “page on top of page” type look.

Pipeline Deals

Next up in Uberlook, an upcoming resource for the submission of any time of resource; be it site, application, file, video, or anything else you find useful. The service is expected to open in January, and hopefully we’ll be able to provide you with a first hand look before it goes live. The site is simply, but its purpose of getting information about the project out without revealing to much is done right.

Uberlook

Finally this week is a photography portfolio which makes the list more because of the stellar pictures and compositions than a standout design. The site itself couldn’t get any simpler, but I think the photographs let you forget how basic the site is.

Question of the week

We asked the opposite last week in a sidenote, so this time around we’d like to know your favorite website of 2006. Leave the responses in the replies, and by the way, it’d be nice to see Devlounge as a nominee, we won’t think you’re sucking up 😉
