A good website is something every business should invest in. The purpose of the website is after all to attract visitors and generate the highest quality leads for the company. We collected a few web design trends for 2021.

Minimalism

It’s good to start website design from a simple approach. The visitor should not be overwhelmed by shapes and colors, also in this case less is more. A clear and user-friendly layout serves the visitor more efficiently and the company’s message can be clearly displayed.

Dark mode

Black or dark background is friendly and pleasing to the reader’s eye, which increases the likelihood of the reader enjoying the site and staying there longer. Light text on a dark background also stands out even better. Dark themes have also been used by big companies (e.g. Facebook), which website designers have also begun to adopt due to its popularity among users.

3D elements

Interactive 3D elements in website design is one of the rising slightly more unique trends. Such elements can be utilized, for example, in online stores, where the customer can examine the product throughout by rotating the product image on the screen. 3D elements can also be used non-interactively as a mere illustration.

Scroll effects

Perhaps the most popular scrolling effect is Parallax scrolling, although Parallax has been on the surface for a long time, it continues to be popular. In the parallax effect, elements on the page, such as the text in the foreground and the image in the background, move at different rates as the user scrolls the page. Scrolling effects can also use different animations when moving from one section of a page to another, such as zooming or horizontal scrolling. Various scrolling effects can bring more life to the site with very little effort without compromising the usability of the site.
