The road ahead…
4 key points that trendy designs this year focus on:Mobile friendly: more accessibility & better experience for mobile users. E.g. inf. scrolling, responsive designSimplicity: contents = most important stuffs. E.g. flat design, no skeuomorphism, minimalismCool visual effects: more visual effects to capture user’s interest. E.g. parallax, large bg, sliding panelBetter UX: better & smoother experience for users – less waiting time, less interactions required for 1 task. E.g. fixed navigation elements, inf. scrolling, sliding panel
1 design for any kind of devices – phones, tablets, desktop, even anything released in the futureContents show up differently depending on the current device size. Resize the browser windows on desktop, or change the orientation on mobile devices to see the differences.
Major advantages:Site with only 1 version but can satisfies all kinds of users: from mobile users, tablet users, to desktop usersNo extra mobile version, so basically, it’ll cost less time to developHow to make it:- Use css3 @media query to target different size ranges, specifying how an element should display, behave for each range
Slower: redundant scripts, stylesheets, images are also loaded on mobile devices. Mobile-optimized sites are always faster.Compatibility: ie8– doesn’t support @media query – either (1) drop older browser user-base or (2) use javascript as a workaroundhttp://html.adobe.comhttp://spektrummedia.com
Keep things simple, clean, minimalisticEasy backward compatibility. Plain color blocks, no drop shadow = work perfectly on ancient browsers, no need for css2Harder to design: it takes time to figure out good color schemes & typographyhttp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx
Another content-focusing style:A simple page with very little contents, but all focus on the message that the page owner wants to deliverUsually a combination of good, clean, easy to read typography with nice images for illustrative purposes No wall of text + good illustrations = less time consumption better UXhttp://pictopro.com/
Use css position: fixed to keep the header/navigation elements stationaryUser could navigate easily no matter which part they are viewing: just look to the top or sometimes the left side of the pageLook pretty good and can pair with most layoutshttps://www.facebook.comtwitter.github.io/bootstrap/javascript.html
Contents are continually fetched as you scroll down the page. Pagination is no longer necessary.Pros:Faster browsing: clicking from page-to-page and waiting for the results to be loaded is time consuming. Infinite scrolling provides smoother UXTouch-friendly: increasing popularity of mobile devicesGreater content exposure: with large volumes of contents, people hardly goes beyond the 3rd page. Seamless experience from scrolling encourages users to see more contentsCons:More javascript could be a pain for performanceNavigating back is irritating. Bookmarking & anchors might be necessary.http://pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=web+designhttp://www.tumblr.com/tagged/pokemon
