Fonts-Friendly
TRENDS-ON: Bold Fonts, New Old Fonts, Legible Fonts
Texts, I mean fonts, are the foremost things we throw eyesight on the website when we browse. Can you imagine a website without having any information at all over? Will it convey any information to the visitors, either information or the presence of letters? A big NO. There is nothing that works without letters, texts, or fonts on a website.
Then, you may wonder how it will become a new trend in this coming year since it is important from the beginning. This is where the trend plays in its potential part. The way we manipulate and manifest into our mind becomes a new design and place into a trends list.
No matter how rich is the content, the presentation of the content makes it productive to the readers or visitors. So, the design of fonts and its style modification empathises with the essential part that reaches the visitors’ mind effortlessly. We highlight the core thoughts of our products or services giving bold and innovative fonts using it more attractive to the visitors.
It is not about using different font styles but creating or combining innovation into font styles.
Scrolling-through
TRENDS-ON: Horizontal scroll, Parallel Scroll, Scrolling Transformation, Effective scrolls, Easy scrolls
The visitors scroll through for more information on a website. The more you give information, the more visitors convinced by your products. Keeping it in mind, adding innovative scrolling effects to users will do a magic effort on the user experience.
I know you are being simple but adept in creativity. You like to break complex things into simple things without losing its nature. Being simple is not enough in a webpage, especially in unfolding your products or services through content. You may have the ability to shorten 100 words ideas into a single word or line. Compressing the details of products or services short won’t help your product clear to the visitor or readers.
You, maybe readers, are not content to provide details in a single page about all details of your services. Also single page content won’t help your business grow higher. You define, distinguish, divide the importance of products worth projecting them aptly online. You would like to deliver a special nature of the product in a different section. It has to be placed as well organized.
Make the scrolling transformation subtly interacting with visitors. So keep the scrolling effects embracing visitors’ minds, not too slow or disturbing. Scrolling transformation can be designed either right to left sides or top to bottom sides. Also, creativity can play it as a half-page scrolling through a website. One side is projecting the headings or the banner images while to the other side the content will be projected as we scroll through.
Colours Comeback
TRENDS-ON: Dark Mode, Dull Colors, Plain Background, Pleasant colours
Do you know? Dark and Light themes are the most focused area in web designs nowadays. That black and white are coming back vigorously to change the digital transformation into a more realistic way. It is also good for your vision and website. Scientifically no wonder, black reduces the contrast colours effect and protects eyes from high RBG. Dark and Light themes are dominating most of the familiar websites in the digital world.
Most of the websites prefer using dark and light themes alternatively than smearing a website with contrasting and confusing colours on it. It is spreading all over the online platforms. The effects on the websites of using dark and light themes will be phenomenal in the upcoming days.
Besides, the dull colours are re-emerging from using it as a gradient background on a webpage.
We are not talking about contrast colours of mostly used bright colours but most pleasant colours that are not preferred before. Notice that the colours should match your product.
In 2021, simplicity works better than brushing bright colours on a website.
Digital Interpretation

Realistic and Uniform Elements
TRENDS-ON: 3D, Uniform structure
We see technology and time are changing at the same pace of becoming new after every second. So we have to cope-up with what changes we can make to set a trend.

We will get customizing options in developing websites for users convenience. Users can change the looks and experience of the illusions over the websites as they need. They can play over the animated cartoons or illusion if they are interested or ignore it just wiping it away with a single click on the screen. It will raise the engagement level of a website and keep the visitors lured by the websites’ functionality.
Last but not least, after we create the design we have to reconsider the data we created for a website. It will decide the engaging factor at the beginning and accessibility through the website.
