The 2017 Website Trends You Most Need to Know
Pendulums swing back when they’ve reached their apex. The trend toward template-driven websites has yielded a “digital blandscape” of websites indistinguishable from one another whether viewed from a content, user experience or design perspective. Businesses are starting to notice. Some business leaders are swearing off the de rigueur use of stock photography and are seeking a new visual language —using more illustration, custom photography, video and distinctive typography — to better be able to express their unique personalities. Businesses are once again seeking to define a unique “voice” in their verbal language as well. Together, these things comprise an emerging trend called “web personality,” and it’s rising in importance.
