Minimalism is the Future of Web Design
(PRWEB) July 23, 2013 -- A recent update on June 26, 2013 in the Huffington Post raised the question of whether minimalism is actually the future of web design. The post elaborated that while some designs work better than others, webmasters while developing new sites should take into account the fact that a minimalist website with no distractions in terms of navigation, fonts, colours and designs has a greater chance of scoring big with the intended audience as compared to a site that looks visually enchanting but takes longer to load (because of heavy design elements) and is cumbersome to navigate through.
The post encourages webmasters to go for simplicity, which forms the backbone of the minimalist approach. A simple site is one which is not filled to the brim with flash animations, JavaScript and custom CSS, thereby ensuring that it would display neatly on a variety of browsers and different screen sizes. In this case a simple and affordable web design would actually work better than a costly designing service.
According to Samuel Junghenn, the founder of Cheap Website Designs, minimalism is definitely the ruling trend. Samuel explains webmasters are actually weary of having their designers create highly elaborate websites which would take time to open on slow servers. “Google tends to penalize slow sites by refusing to allow them to rise in rankings. Moreover, users themselves can get impatient with slow sites and can quickly shift their attention and allegiance to faster websites.”
Samuel elaborates, “Then there are issues with the colors and fonts used in the design. While corporate websites created solely for emphasizing the brand identity and corporate presence can afford to overlook minimalism, sites that want to distinguish themselves through their content need to keep their designs neat and elegant, so as not to distract their readers from the content.”
According to Samuel, embellishments like pop-ups and ads may seem like a good way to make the website appear more dynamic and lively it would actually clutter the site and annoy your visitors.
