What's next?


After reviewing all these important web design traits, an important thing to remember and keep in mind is that web design trends do not derive from any particular person or company. Web design is a mix of visual design (influenced by print design) and the technology used on the web. With the advancements made in HTML5 and CSS3, we can start to see that design is becoming far more complex as compared to the original flat design. Technology now allows people to have more flexibility with their design and forms. Let's see how the web design trend will evolve, but keep in mind that it evolves quickly, very quickly.
