When we would think back to the 90s, we remember the web-development of these times appealed to Flat Designs and visiting a site was strictly aimed at business. Nothing fun at all to keep you hanging on web pages. Unlike building a responsive appealing looking web page to engross your imagination as we have today, flat design was only meant to forward messages and nothing entertaining than the bland text, dull numbers and that’s all!
Below are trendy web trends to jig up your memory.
One thing only we can confidently say of websites today is similarity; all looking alike suggesting they were constructed by the same responsive website builder, but No! It is so because people are able now to arrange their websites thanks to the utilizing of website creation software like WP and Themes.
Below are several patterns that help website similarities:
The use of animation in web building to bring your ideas alive and tell the story has also facilitated making website standout.
Here are types of animations groups:
The applying of active response icons and buttons has improved website UX and interactivity. Clicking the LIKE or social media buttons has vastly improved website responsiveness and engagement with users.
The material design gives your website's environment true life experience.
Modern web building now has to do with responsive design as a main benchmark. It gives the ability to keep your user on a site for conversion and sale. Capacity to have your web pages appear visibly on all internet enabled devices is the major criteria of responsive web development.
The season of web building for techies is over; building a website today is a question of knowing and following established steps as outlined below:
You need a web host to provide you with space to their server to retain your website resources like pages, documents, images required for your web-site.
You need to have at your command a website with an unique name for it, which is termed as a domain name. It's written like - www.yourname.com – and showcases your website address on the internet.
Web planning means making steps and decisions necessary to put up your website, like the kind of site suitable for your business.
Site building involves bringing using a web building tool to create and design a website that is best for your business.
After building by yourself a nicely looking site, it's high time to go live. Publish your website to put it online.
The final and ongoing activity in your site is maintenance: to continiously renovate and refress your site's pages in order to attract and engage more visitors.
