It’s June 2021, which means the year is almost half over. It’s hard to believe. But, it also means that there are more website design trends to take a look at.

One surprising trend for 2021 is imagery without people. It may be that photographers found it harder to include people in their photos during the COVID-19 pandemic. It could also mean that web designers were seeking new, innovative ways to enhance visual interest in their designs.

Here are some trends to watch for in June 2021:

Signature-Style Marks

Website designers use signature-style marks like headlines or logos to include a personal touch on their projects. This produces some truly beautiful typefaces and scripts. This doesn’t mean that you should digitize your actual signature. Obviously, that would be a huge problem for security. However, you can use a font that kindles that same feeling as your own handwriting. Or you can hire a graphic designer to create a typeface just for your use.

Non-Traditional Navigation

Your web designer can create visual interest by mixing up the size, location, or placement of the main navigation menu. You can use other options rather than the typical top navigation element of a corner placement. It depends on the number of menu items and the surrounding content.

You have many options. Each placement draws the eye to different locations on the screen because it is different and unexpected. You can try a navigation menu anchored to the right side of the screen with folder-style tabs or a closed frame with an icon. You can add oversized icons for attention-grabbing visual interest.

Another way is to shift the focus from top page navigation to the bottom of the home page. You can have the navigation bar float to the top and stick on scroll. This ensures that while the homepage has a different look and feel, users don’t get lost without navigation as they move through the design.

Fluid Shapes

Incorporating different shapes to create a visual theme has been popular for a few years. Many web designers have experimented with some geometric pattern or background by now.

Shapes are taking on a more fluid feel now, and it’s coming from integrating animation to shapes and backgrounds to create more liquid looks or harmonic flow. This trend can work for bigger visual elements such as image frames or the overall homepage art element or smaller patterns or layering effects. The overall goal with fluid shapes is to create something smooth and almost seamless so that users aren’t focused on it but delighted by it.

Web Design in the latter half of 2021 should be exciting and innovative. Animation, fonts, placement, and other elements will continue to evolve especially as life gets back to normal after the pandemic. Of course, web design will always have conversion as its foundation. But, converting visitors into customers can be fun and creative.
