Flat Design is not Boring, is Trending

Flat Design was propelled to the market with the launch of Windows 8. Since then, its popularity knew no limits, with brands like Apple (newst iOS), Gmail, Goolge Plus embracing it. The flat design, together with minimalism were the hottest web design trends of 2014. We forecast that, in the next 12 months, this style focused on simplicity, user experience and enhanced upload speed of your website, will only bloom. Check out these Free WordPressThemes, to get a taste of a modern look websites, seasoned with flat design.

From Flat to Material Design

The next step in Flat Design was brought in June, by Google, setting up a new direction  for mobile and design overall. Material Design is still a flat design, but it has very subtle gradients, layering, animations to convey a sense of physical world, while still taking advantages of flat design’s perks. We will just have to wait to see how this will materialize for WordPress in 2015.

Scrolling just killed the Clicking

One page designed site seems to be next year’s direction for WordPress as well. With the predominance of mobile, scrolling it’s a natural thing to do while browsing, so WordPress design trends move towards more effective and enjoyable web-experiences. There are many WordPress Themes for One Page sites, and you can find few examples here.

Beautiful Typography

Until now, beautiful fonts and typeface were solely for designers with big pockets. Nowadays, there are so many affordable options, that you are allowed to be picky. Designers can take advantage of the myriad of plugins to integrate web based fonts such as Google Fonts into a WordPress site. Check these Free WordPress plugins for your website typography and fonts.

Attractive backgrounds and full width images

2015 will be the year of high quality images and stunning layouts, and designers will go big. Large images capture users attention and keep them scrolling on the website. We should expect in the next period a lot of websites with full width images on the background, designed with a parallax scrolling (hot trend in 2014). Check here some interesting full screen WordPress Themes.

Attractive backgrounds with full screen video

Newcomer in 2014, full screen video background was quite a hit for WordPress. A lot of users picked it because of its unique way of showcasing work, subtle way of retaining visitors and increasing the session duration. So, for those who are creating portfolios or in need of creative promotion, have a look at some full screen video background WordPress Themes.

WordPress and Ultra- Minimalism Design

Minimalism is a very hot topic in web design in 2014 and (most surely) in 2015. For this trend, developers and designers work hand in hand to achieve the marketing targets: better user experience, more ROI, less bragging about designer’s talents. Ultra-Minimalism Design is extremely creative, so there are a lot of WordPress Themes to choose from.

2015 looks like an exciting year for WordPress web design, so make sure that your WordPress website or blog is always keeping up with the trends. Happy Designing!
