The 3rd trend is the variation of usage in shapes, rather than the usual squares, rectangles and corners, some curves and more organic shapes. The new digital design trend helps designers feel free to use more colors, patterns, and perspectives.

Animations are important factor designers should focus on to drive visitor’s attention on specific subjects. The most important animation and interaction patterns are scrolling rates and page transitions.

Floating Navigation Menus is the 5th trend designers and web developers need to follow, rather than having it stuck on the top of the page.

A 6th trend that is continuously being used is switching from text to video. However, this doesn’t mean we have to stop using text since it the core element of SEO in the development world.
As the internet is now covered with a wide array of different fonts and styles, web designers should use them to design a single font that behaves like multiple fonts.

Designers and developers should be also aware of the responsiveness of each website, and that it is 100% mobile friendly and compatible over multiple devices so that people can access the website in many different ways and that all the images can load correctly.
