With the technology available today, Website Designers design websites more creatively and clients too expect higher level of functionality and interactively as they visit more websites that utilize things like Ajax and JavaScript. A traditional website will no longer be sufficient as more and more individuals are accessing the Internet from their mobile devices.
CSS3/HTML5 has started to step on the toes of JavaScript; JavaScript itself has started to inch into the territory of Flash. JavaScript has just finished a major revision of its specifications for the language. Once browser companies adopt these standards, web developers will be provided with more tools to improve their capabilities in creating web applications.
Traditional techniques from print design are also applied to the Web like the layout of the websites often resemble those of print magazines or posters, with headlines, multi-column text, highlighted quotations, images, side notes and foot notes. Furthermore faster and better Web browsers have also offered more choices to web users. Growth of platforms has also led the web to focus more in getting information in real-time such as twitter or facebook. So social optimization of websites coupled with integration of all marketing activities – e-mail, websites and social networks — will be the key to success.
The design of the website should be more interactive and responsive. More attention should be paid that how the functionality is being presented. As web designers look for more ways of attracting users and prospects to their websites and generating business online, personalization is emerging as an important component of managing the web experience for site visitors – and delivering business value.
Moreover the recent trends are embossing, PNG transparency, rich user Interfaces, Font replacement, Huge Images, Modal boxes, Media blocks, the Magazine look, slideshow navigations, Introduction blocks which are expected to grow this year.
