Website Designfor 2014 :Why Minimalism Is Preferred

People who boast even the smallest amount of knowledge about website design, know that superior design matters greatly in attracting visitors to a website.

Viewers are increasingly becoming more responsive towards the appearance and the feel of certain kinds of website. Besides making websites mobile friendly and making designs more responsive to mobile viewing, the trends in website design for 2014 seem to be veering towards simplicity and minimalism.

A minimalist template might not be flashy and colourful, but it will

actually offer a lot of benefits. The advantage is that it can make sure

your website visitors focus on your information and your message, instead of getting distracted by

various design elements.

Designers in 2014 need to avoid unnecessary clutter, sharp colors, an

extraordinary circus of fonts, blinking pop-ups, complicated menus, self-

important pictures and lots of other features that people are usually used

to stuffing their websites with.

Today visitors have grown weary of anything that looks like promotion. This is one of the major reasons that simplicity in web design is capturing so much attention. Lots of companies have understood that the decrease in their website traffic is often attributable to a messy website. Having a large backdrop that connects the visitor to the company right away is becoming a popular trend in website design. Your background image can create instant connection and branding in the minds of the visitor. There is nothing to distract them from your message in this way.

The design of menus has also become simpler, with ones that are intuitive and easier to navigate becoming the norm. We will see navigational menus getting simpler and more intuitive over the course of the next year.

Responsive design is one of the most important trends, with mobile friendly designs retaining a minimalist and easy-to-navigate look and feel. We will see more innovations in responsive design in 2014.
