• Web design is one of those fields that is on a
  crossroads between two very dynamic areas the
  Internet and art. Both of these change at a
  breathtaking pace, admittedly for very different
  reasons. As technology gives designers room to
  implement more of their ideas on websites, web
  design grows different each year. And as certain
  art trends get stale due to being overused, new
  bold strategies grab the attention of the public.
  Here are the five trends that we expect (and hope
  for) in the vibrant field of web design in 2016

1) More originality

• White backgrounds, long vertical scrolling and
  minimalism this was last years trend. While
  both pleasant to the eye and useful on mobile, it
  has become somewhat stale. This is why we expect
  an emphasis on originality as an attempt to stand
  out from the competition. Originality in this
  case would mean more custom-drawn images, and in
  general more new ideas rather than following old
  patterns.

2) Brighter, bolder colors

• Vibrant colors are already making a comeback and
  we only expect that to increase. Bright colors
  have escaped from the cliché of being silly and
  are becoming more accepted in the professional
  field. One reason for that is flat design,
  minimalistic little icon boxes where color is
  used to convey a certain message. With the
  increase of flat design mostly thanks to mobile,
  colors will be more present in the future of web
  design.

3) Microinteractions

• Microinteractions or micro experiences will also
  become more prevalent in web design. In case
  youre unfamiliar with the term, it essentially
  describes little interactions within the site.
  Facebook Likes are a good example.
  Microinteractions can help you engage users with
  little snippets and urge them to take a certain
  action, like booking tickets or sharing something
  on social media.

4) More motion in images

• Storytelling and moving images in general are a
  rising trend on all kinds of websites from
  personal blogs to news outlets and corporate.
  Cinemagraphs and other products of motion design
  are getting lighter in size and better in
  quality, allowing their easy integration on
  websites. However, we dont expect web designers
  to go overboard with those. Although motion
  images are an excellent way to grab attention,
  using too many can quickly become a burden to the
  eye.

5) Typeface revolution

• Font types and font sizes have been generally
  universal for a while now. With the web opening
  up thanks to tools like Google Fonts, there is
  place for better integration of all kinds of
  typefaces. This will lead to new opportunities
  for designers as well. Fonts might seem like a
  small thing, but any improvement to legibility
  and attractiveness of a body of text can have a
  huge impact on user perception. We expect more
  designers to experiment with new things and
  contribute to the increase of originality
  mentioned in the first prediction.
