1. Bold Typography
越来越多的公司转向大胆的版式来锚定主场。当页面的其余部分保持最小和干净时,这种样式最有效,就像布鲁克林代理商的示例一样Huge.
2.电影院
Cinemagraphs — high-quality videos or GIFs that run on a smooth, continuous loop — have become a popular way to add movement and visual interest to otherwise static pages. Full-screen loops, like this example from French creative agencySocial Brain, create immediate interest on an otherwise simple page.
3. Brutalism
To stand out in a sea of tidy, organized websites, some designers are opting for more eclectic, convention-defying structures. While it can seem jarring at first, many popular brands are now incorporating these aggressively alternative design elements into their sites, such asBloomberg.
Brutalism成为standardiz反应增加ation of web designand is often characterized by stark, asymmetrical, nonconformist visuals, and a distinct lack of hierarchy and order. In other words, it's hard to describe butyou know it when you see it— like with the below example fromChrissie Abbott.
4. Saturated Gradients
Gradients have been all over the web for the past few years, and it doesn’t seem like they’re going anywhere just yet. Copywriting agencyMonograph Communicationsillustrates a perfect example of how to make this effect look fresh and modern, with its full-screen, gradient-washed homepage.
5.生动的颜色层
Staggered, stacked layers of color add depth and texture to a simple site layout, as seen in this stylish example from the snack food brandPipcorn. A vibrant color palette like this one instantly distinguished itself from competing sites.
6. Text-Only
Some websites are cutting out images and prominent navigation sections altogether, relying on a few choice lines of straightforward text to inform visitors about their company.

7. Illustration
越来越多的公司求助于插画家和图形艺术家为其网站创建定制插图。在数年以平坦的设计和直接的极简主义为主之后,在您的网站上添加插图的触摸是注入一点个性的好方法,如这个迷人的例子所示NewActon(designed by Australian digital agencyED).
8. Ultra-minimalism
Takingclassic minimalismto the extreme, some designers are defying conventions of what a website needs to look like, displaying just the absolute bare necessities. The site from designerMathieu Bouletis centered around a few choice links to their social profiles and information.
9. Mixing Horizontal and Vertical Text
从通常的水平对齐中释放文本并将其垂直放在页面上增加了一些令人耳目一新的尺寸。以动作体育视频制作人的身份为例Prime Park Sessions, which combines horizontal and vertical text alignments on a minimal page.
10.Geometric Shapes and Patterns
异想天开的图案和形状在网站上更频繁地弹出,在景观中增加了一些天赋materialdesign. Canadian design studioMSDSuses daring, patterned letters on their homepage.
11.衬线字体
Due to screen resolution limitations and an overall lack of online font support, designers avoided serif fonts for years to keep websites legible and clean. With recent improvements, serif fonts are having a big moment in 2021 — and they've never looked more modern. As seen onThe Sill, a serif headline adds a dose of sophistication and style.
12.重叠的文本和图像
Text that slightly overlaps accompanying images has become a popular effect for blogs and portfolios. Freelance art director and front-end developerThibault Paillouxmakes their overlapping text stand out with a colorful underline beneath each title.
13. Broken Grids
While grids remain one of the most common and efficient ways of displaying text and images on websites,broken grids继续进入主流站点,并从规范中改变。查看网站以获取HealHaus, for example. Its homepage features images and text blocks that overlap.
14. Organic Shapes
Gone are the days of strict grid layouts and sharp edges — now it’s all about curved lines and soft, organic shapes. In the example below fromNeobi, the borderline-cartoonish background adds a generous hit of personality and vivid color to the uncomplicated design.
15.网络纹理
Web texturesare background images that visually resemble a three-dimensional surface. When done well, textures can immerse viewers in a website by engaging tactile senses, as demonstrated byColor Of Change— the background evokes a duct-tape-like texture.
16.手绘字体
Custom, hand-drawn fonts have started cropping up more and more in recent months, and for good reason. These unique typefaces add character and charm, and help designers create a distinct look and feel without a complete overhaul.

您可以在网站上使用的设计趋势
Of course, you don’t need to incorporate all of these trends to build an effective website — we doubt that’s even possible. However, even adding a couple as prominent components or subtler details can improve your site’s UX significantly, leading to higher engagement, more CTA clicks, and a better outcome for your online business.
