4 Web Design Trends for 2022

Introduction .

The new year is all about breaking old patterns and carving paths for new beginnings. In the year 2022, we are expecting to see web designers come out of their sophisticated shells and dive right into playful quirky design pools. Since the advent of the pandemic, the digital revolution has escalated exponentially. Websites are now more than just a platform for sharing information, they are becoming an expression of art. Designers have now started redefining the definition of web designing. Designers are also finding ways to make websites more visual while keeping them simple and sleek. That being said, Let’s jump into the hottest web designing trends of 2022

1.Personalized Content

Personalized content is the ‘one’ ingredient that can not be trending. Creating content that fits the customer’s needs and interests is an excellent strategy to improve your business. From hand-drawn graphics to creative scrolling experience, having the right kind of graphics and accompanying content can help you attract and retain customers while improving your sales and customer service.

2.Interactive Graphics

There are three objectives for developing commercial websites- attracting visitors, engaging them with the visuals and the content, and converting web visitors to customers. You can use interactive graphics to offer additional context for the user to engage them and hold their attention for a greater period of time. Interactive graphics is a tool in the designer’s arsenal to harness their creativity in the best way possible. One of the ways is to incorporate three-dimensional design elements animation could be to use layer effects to create depth and give dimensions, or animate the elements as soon as the visitor tries to navigate around it.

3.Glassmorphism

In the late 2020 and early 2021, the first tinges of glassmorphism came into play with neomorphism and in the coming year, we can witness the evolution of a more complete glass effect. Glassmorphism has four distinct features- 

  1. Transparency
  2. Floating objects in spaces in multi-layers
  3. Highlighting blurred transparency with vivid colors
  4. Subtle borders on translucent objects.

The idea is to have design elements that resemble glass. The elements have transparency, frostiness, or luster using a background blur. Other than that, the use of gradients to form an appealing background is something you can expect to trend in 2022.

 

4. Page speed optimization

In this fast-paced world if you don’t strike the hammer when the iron is hot then you probably won’t get another chance to do so. This is exactly with web designs. There are a plethora of options for the customer to choose from and surf through. If your design is too bulky and takes more time to process than the visitor’s attention span then you have lost the rat race before it has begun, because if your visitor doesn’t wait for the page to load then all the design components are redundant.

Thus, creating an appealing design with the least processing time is the key to success. In fact, Google’s 2021 SEO optimization algorithm update takes speed into account. This reflects the user expectations, as per the latest stats, 53% of users abandon a page if it takes more than 3 seconds to load. Subtle techniques such as optimizing image file size to reduce loading time, using image alt tags to optimize SEO, designing content that is easily accessible to search engine spiders, etc. So not only in 2022 but for the years to come, page speed optimization is going to top the design trends chart till it becomes an indispensable part of the process.

 

Conclusion

The new year has started and there’s already a lot of hype around web design trends for 2022. As always, these trends are driven by the desire to create a fun and memorable experience for the user. For web designers, the goal will and has always been the creation of something eye-catching and memorable.
