Great New Website Design Ideas for the Web Designer

The latest fashions for web design seem to change with the seasons. New technologies mean that there are always new ways of doing the same things, usually easier than before and more attractive to the visitor. Where a few years ago the average web user would have been impressed with a Photoshop picture on your homepage, now it takes a lot more to impress them. These are some of the latest trends for homepage design.

New Technology Trends

The last few years has seen a big rise in the use of mobile and tablet devices. These allow Internet access from anywhere and give more ways of interacting with the user than normal computers. Touch screens and motion detection give you more control options than a simple mouse is ever likely to. Not surprisingly, it's a great deal of work to update web sites for these new devices.

One of the great new website design ideas is those strange little barcodes popping up on some websites. These barcodes are actually called Quick Response, or QR, and are a great way to draw attention to your mobile website from anywhere. Take a photo of the QR in your mobile phone camera and your phone will go to the website associated with it. You can even embed it in your normal website to divert mobile users to your mobile platform. This is a great way of attracting visitors to your mobile web site.

The use of CSS3 and HTML5 has really taken off recently. These new standards are being used to take away some of the content that has typically been done with Adobe Flash. Ideally both programs have different strengths and should be used in conjuction for the best results.

New Design Trends

There have been several trends in homepage design over the last year, but one of the most striking is the use of a large photographic background for a webpage. Using a great image as the backdrop really makes a great impression on the visitors to your site. The key is to make sure that the image is relevant to your content. No matter how nice a photo looks, it is no use if it's completely out of boundaries with the text content of your site.

Another web design trend is the increased popularity of a cut-down color palette on a website. By limiting the color palette to two or three colors and making the primary color something other than black or white you can really make your website look great. Use different shades of your main colors to really make your message stand out.

There have been several new ways of scrolling around a website that have become popular recently. These include using parallax scrolling and depth perception to give the appearance that the site works in three dimensions. These are not quite as good as you would get in the cinema, but are as good as you'll get until your computer has a 3D display.

Hopefully this has given you some great website design ideas that you can use to bring your website up to date and attract a whole load of new visitors.
