Web design trend reports are fun and all, but what if they could help you increase conversions while keeping current? That is our aim for this list of ten top web design & UX trends for 2017.

This is based on an infographic we published, so if you’d like ot check that out and embed it on your own site, just grab the embed code here: http://thedeependdesign.com/2017-web-design-trends-infographic/

Whether you’re a web professional or in charge of your business’ website, this video breaks it down for you.

Here’s a list of what you can expect to learn:

2017 Web Design Trend #1: Age-Responsive Design
Since different age groups have different expectations in a website, we will see more sites offering up different experiences based on a user’s perceived age.

Trend #2: Skeleton Screens
This is an excellent way of making a site load feel much faster to your users, keeping the bounce rates nice and low.

Web Trend #3: Engagement Bots
Many businesses are starting to use chatbots in very interesting ways, automating many processes needed for healthy conversions.

Trend #4: Shopping Cart Marketing
By offering upsells, cross-sells and bundled offers during the checkout phase, you can increase revenue by as much as 30%

2017 Web Design Trend #5: Animated CTA Buttons
There are many ways to make a CTA button stand out, but we’re starting to see understated movement develop as a trend in 2017.

Trend #6: Cinemagraph Hero Images
Part video, part photo, cinemagraphs are a brilliant mind-trick to get users to take a second look.

Web Design Trend #7: Persuader Videos
By adding a video to your site which addresses all the major objections customers may have before buying, you can pave the way to more conversions.

Trend #8: Value-Based Exit Overlays
While popups are annoying, they just work. So by removing the most annoying part, and making a really compelling offer, you can save some sales that would have gone away otherwise.

2017 Web Design Trend #9: Death of the Homepage
If you take the emphasis off the homepage, and put it onto multiple landing pages, you can cater your messaging to different audiences, increasing conversions.

Web Trend #10: Scrolling Trumps Navigation
“Above the fold” isn’t what it used to be. By keeping more content on a single landing page, you can take customers on a well-planned journey leading to a conversion.

    WYSIWYG editors are one of the core components of any content management system (CMS). A well-coded, feature-filled WYSIWYG HTML editor can distinguish between a CMS users love and one they can’t stand.  While all WYSIWYG editors have a set of basic functionality, the power of plugins enhances the editing experience. Plugins allow WYSIWYG editors to […]

  • How to Get Extension Manifest Information July 10, 2022

  • How to Reverse an Animated GIF June 23, 2022
    Modifying visual media via code has always been a fascination of mine. Probably because I’m not a designer and I tend to stick to what I’m good at.

  • CSS :optional May 22, 2022
    A decade ago HTML and CSS added the ability to, at least signal, validation of form fields. The required attribute helped inform users which fields were required, while pattern allowed developers to provide a regular expression to match against an ‘s value. Targeting required fields and validation values with just CSS and HTML was very […]
  • Get a Random Array Item with JavaScript May 9, 2022
    JavaScript Arrays are probably my favorite primitive in JavaScript. You can do all sorts of awesome things with arrays: get unique values, clone them, empty them, etc. What about getting a random value from an array? To get a random item from an array, you can employ Math.random: const arr = [ "one", "two", "three", […]

    I’m always really excited to see new methods on JavaScript primitives. These additions are acknowledgement that the language needs to evolve and that we’re doing exciting new things. That being said, I somehow just discovered some legacy String methods that you probably shouldn’t use but have existed forever. Let’s take a look! These legacy string […]
