Following trends in web designs for 2020 are perfect to deliver a lucid and accessible website that are rich with features, like visuals and content. These designs are standard designs that are stylish, meaningful and suitable for all business types.

• An Exemplary Mix of Illustrations and Photos: To keep your website to the minimum, but attractive too all you need to do is a simple mixology of your photos with 2D illustrations that are easy to draw using your hands. If this excites you and you think of using it in your web designing, you either have to replace some portion of the photos with illustrations or make them interact with photos in such a way that the outcome is a fun amalgamation of two different realities. The best characteristic about illustration is that it cannot be copied. Thus, your competitors can copy your content, images, fonts and color palette, but not your illustration style.

• Minimalist Designs and Bold Typography: For a modern and classy website look, minimalist design is the key. All graphic designers prefer to keep unnecessary details and decorations at bay and make the website speak for itself through large and bold fonts. Such typography creates a powerful, strong statement on the visitors who see it. If your website (especially, the headlines) has bold fonts, more are the chances of visitors seeing it before looking at the images or the color schemes used in designing the website. Breaking the typical typo rules through large sizing, uneven line spacing or breaks, odd spacing, makes typography a more of art and a less of informational element. Such bold fonts do not strain our eyes and the readability of the content.

• Patterns that Communicate: With a diverse and a refreshing look, patterns are making an impressive comeback in 2020. Apart from full background coverage, trends in pattern consumption that are limited to specific or separate parts of the background will be more demanding in 2020 for web designing. These upgraded versions of patterns would render a modern and hot look to your website enabling them to communicate to the visitors.

• Integrate Art and Design through Illustrations: If you are looking for an effortless combination of art and design, illustrations is your answer, which can help you create different styles on web designs. You can carve out some really amazing artwork from modern and quirky art to pastel and water color art using illustrations, like disproportionate or asymmetrical characters, human characters with zero facial features and more.

To make their illustrations distinct and effective designers have moved to abstract illustration styles. What they must keep in mind when making an abstract illustration is that their users must be able to interpret the illustration in the way you want them to interpret. An illustration that is too abstract will not serve your business purpose and will remain as a piece of art. You can even pair illustrations with animation to make your website more eye-catchy and communicative when used as a secondary feature in place of the main one. Animated illustrations are a great substitute to texts as well.

• Dark Mode ‘ON’: Design elements get best highlighted against a dark background that results in a higher contrast ratio by deploying other colors. Dark mode is a low-light user interface, but with dark surfaces. This makes the design visually comforting as it reduces the strain in the eyes. Websites would look ultra-modern due to dark background and vibrant colors. In dark background the visibility of other underlying colors improves, which gives the design a dynamic look. Dark modes are compatible with OLED screens that reduce power consumption and also increase lifespan of the screen.

• Involve 3D and Motion Effects in Required Proportion: Currently, 3D feature has become an unavoidable part of web designing and graphic designing because of the depth and reality it allows the designers to create. In 2020, designers will have hands on experience on many 3D web designs, like animated, interactive and static. Interactive or motion 3D effects on websites will make users stay on your website for longer duration. Whereas, static 3D style would make a good pair with smooth shapes, fascinating colors and more realistic looks. When using 3D graphics, designers will keep the rest of the elements to their minimum to make the overall design well balanced, neat & clear and connecting. 3D objects makes user’s interaction with website more realistic.

• Full-Screen Forms: Adding a full screen form at the homepage of your website is another fast growing trend in the field of web designing. Because of the full page cover area, the form submitting process gets simplified as it creates surplus room on the page that makes it easier for the users to fill up the form. Thus, user experience is enhanced considerably. Full screen forms will not let users exit your website without filling up the form, which was the case earlier when the form were added in small sizes.

• Add Solid Frames around the Four Corners of Your Website with White Spaces: When images or the content on a website is bordered with a frame, the images or the content gets positioned on the site enabling it to stand out from the rest. Full screens websites are still in trend, but what is changing this trend is a more structured, framed and definite layout of the website. For this, designers are deploying different ways to use white colors or any other colors around the four corners of the website. Such, white or colored frames render a solid structure to the website and its content. These frames places elements on every page in order and give them an individual identity.

• Incorporate innovative and interactive features of Advanced Technology: Adding interactive and innovative features that are born from advanced technology are trendiest for web designing in 2020. Features, like Chatbots, Voice User Interface & Automated Assistants, etc., are the most used ones. Chatbots have made websites more conversational than ever. Chatbot options on websites are available 24×7 to give satisfactory answers to user’s questions. It also helps the user to guide them through the website. With advancing AI technology, Chatbots will be equipped with more features. On the other hand, how about verbally conversing with the website you are surfing? It sounds exciting, right? But, infusing this technology with the website is mainly for those who are differently abled. Such verbal conversations with websites have been made possible only because of Voice User Interface and AI technology. This technology basically gives a person the ability to actually speak (through voice commands) with devices.

• Extremely Simple Navigation: As the years are passing by, a website’s navigation is getting simpler to adjust itself to extremely smaller devices, like smart watches. Minimum navigation mitigates difficulties that arise while using a website. It also helps the user to surf more on website rather than spending his time thinking what to surf on the website. Another way to minimal navigation is using large scale images and videos and minimum of texts. This proposition would highlight and focus on the main composition of the site, since images gets user’s first glance than texts.
