Gestures are the new clicks

We know that scrolling of web pages is not that much an easy task. Most of the users will move mouse towards the right edge of the screen in order to do something with ‘scrollbar’. As a pro, it’s mainly used as a mouse wheel as a track pad or as a control key. It is very easy to scroll than to click on mobile, i.e.; it can scroll wildly using thumb. Clicking a target is very much difficult task and also it is opposite that of using desktop. As a result we are expecting more websites to be built in around scrolling and clicking second. That mainly focus on what we have seen everywhere. The main reason to expect this trend is to continue because the mobile takes majority of the market and today modern sites has much less things to click, more scrolling and can scroll some links, buttons, clickable areas and even taller pages. There are websites that spread’s their articles mostly on multiple pages and that will learn this lesson. Also we assume these to turn into longer single pages like TIME magazine and other infinite scrolling pages. It is well known as web will expand itself towards devices like watches.

Use of Cinema Graphs will Increase

Life like images instilled with some repetitive movements of secondary elements will continue to be a part of websites these days. The images as a background or complementary features can make the website more interesting.

Users are quicker, websites are simplifying

Everyone loves simplicity- Even in website designing, it’s better to remember this formula. You still can instill the complexity of your website into something way simpler. Assume, the users are busy, they need information without much hustle- bustle.  For instance, over involvement usage of keys and overcrowded graphics make the complete system slow. Huge images and designs make to slow down our site some situation, which slows the user interaction, so their audience as these websites which don’t load. Reduce image size and design which is easy to scan, make the website load very fast.  Many successful Apps put most websites to shame with super-minimal, beautiful interfaces. Motto should be simple- minimal interfaces maximum performance.

Voice User Interface and Search

The exponential rise of voice search has paved the way for voice user interfaces. Voice based user interfaces will grace your screens with integrated voice search functionality.

Popularity of VR Videos will grow

VR is the future of web design with the proliferation of cheap VR headset in the market. We will see more VR videos on the websites in 2018. This will take the interactivity of the web to a completely new level.

Rise of progressive Web Apps

In 2018, we all; see reflection of mobile apps in web design. Animation page transitions push notifications and splash screens will make it to the website with no installation required; speed and convenience make progressive apps a hit.

Social saturation and the rise of direct email

Today there is billions of facebook post are being shared and hence it only shows the ones that are more likely to enjoy and thus what you post or share will be enjoyed by only a small percentage of people.
