Possible Web Design Trends for 2024

 

There are always end-of-the-year predictions about almost anything and that includes what the future of web design might be. Web design platform Squarespace suggests five web design trends.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Subtle Nostalgia
• Hyper-Reality
• Analog
• Minimalism Revival

These possible trends go from fairly conservative Analog, Subtle Nostalgia and Minimalism Revival to the more radical AI and Hyper-Reality.

For example, Analog web design, sometimes referred to as retro web design, uses vintage elements from a pre-computer era to create unique visitor experiences. Often relying on handcrafted imagery, print effects, and tactile textures, the aesthetic uses outdated techniques to produce feelings of authenticity and familiarity for brands.

Hyper-Reality makes reality elusive: you can’t tell the difference between real and unreal. Technological advances give us lots of ways to enhance reality—by airbrushing photos, editing videos, or creating personalized user interfaces. But when the boundaries between reality and technology become distorted, you’ve entered a state of Hyper-Reality.
