In this post I will be talking about how web design trends for 2015 will impact the Word Press Community from the existing Word Press themes and plugins to the new and improved opportunities. Let’s get started.

Having A Responsive Page

Over the last few several years responsive design has solidified itself as the new standard for a web design. No one is saying let’s get rid of responsive design, because more sites are opting to go in this direction. If your page is not responsive for all types of screens, you have the risk of losing potential customers.

More Emphasis On Choosing The Right Typography

Traditionally web type-kits are being allowed to create those beautiful fonts and typefaces to be used on websites. These use to be really expensive, and many sites were leaning heavily on typographic designs that will require larger budgets and leaving the WordPress users out of the fun. Now these type-kits are starting to become more affordable like Google Fonts, so there is more freedom for designers to work with a small budget. So no more spending tons of money of typefaces, that are now open to you for free or at a low cost.

Using Big Background Images And Videos

Another bit hit for web pages now a days are the use of large background images and videos. It’s the simplest way to make your site stand out by having great content that is being shown. The trend is wonderful and will show an elegant and powerful design.

Flat Design To Material Design Rising Up

With Flat Design it has achieved a lot of momentum within the last few years and has shown to keep going forward in the New Year. Flat design is growing up into material design. Material design is something that Google has unveiled this year which is in the direction for mobile and design. The word material is a metaphor that is unifying theory of rationalized space and a system in motion.

What Are Microinteractions?

Microinteractions contains experiences or moments within a product or maybe a module on a website that can revolve around a single use case. For example some sites have an email signup box that will show up first thing once you click on certain sites. It can wiggle back and forth to draw your attention in. This is considered a microinteraction, and this promotes an increase in user engagement.
