Lots of web designers are experimenting with new type settings and fonts. One designer said that in 2014 we will be seeing fonts with personality. Apple changed its design from a 3D, shadowed design to a very straight forward "flat design." And what Apple does, everyone else seems to follow, and so there are lots of sites coming out with the same "flat design" concept.
Web Design Layouts: Web designers have switched to using grid design in websites, an aspect believed to increase a website's usability. This design was first noted in Pinterest, and many websites seem to have adopted the same. This grid web design format helps make it easy for one to read everything within a website, and contains more visual aspects as compared to content which comes second.
Responsive websites have taken over a lot of space too, and not the newer trend will be to carry that model over to the mobile arena. Since almost 60 per cent of people searching online do so now with their mobile devices, it only makes sense to apply that statistic to searches and take advantage of it. The software is different for desktops and mobile devices, so there will be a concerted push in that direction for 2014.
In 2013, large 'Hero Areas' at the top of sites, borrowed from print, is bound to continue, yet probably without the sliders which are not the viewers best friend. Expect large areas with some print backed up with a large print. This approach seems to work well with real estate sites, with the real 'meat' on farther down. The hero space is going to be very creative and exciting.
Although the above discussed elements are the most eminent in web design 2014, some aspects such as the use of personal portraits as website portfolio is slowly gaining popularity. All the new trends in use today are directed to ease accessibility of websites through hand held devices.
