2012 Web Design Trends

I stumbled upon an article on http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/web-design-trend-2012/ about the web trends to watch out for in 2012. Now that the year is almost over I wanted to take a look at these trends and see which ones actually came to be. All 15 of these trends have come to be in the web design world in my opinion although there were a few that stood out to me.

The first trend that stood out in my mind was touch screen mobile device. If you look around the room your in or just in society in general there are very few people who don't have a touch screen phone. Thus each site has had to innovate and make there site work with touchscreen mobile devices. If your site is unable to work with these devices you will loose a large number of potential customers.


The second trend that came to be was CSS3 and HTML5 standards. More and more sites in 2012 have migrated to using CSS only for creating there site top to bottom. This had made sites run quicker, SEO better, and has allowed easier and faster editing. HTML 5 is still gaining headway and the coding language is become better and more know to the web development world. All in all CSS has taken off in 2012 and HTML5 has gained headway but will most likely pull ahead in 2013.




All in all there were many trends that happened in 2012 in the web design world but I think these are the two largest trends for 2012. What trends have you guys seen? leave a comment below and let me know what you think of these two trends or any other trends you have noticed.
