Hey!

It's crazy how quickly trends in web design change. I'll see some
websites that get a complete refresh every 2 or 3 years.

Most of my clothes are older than that! I've got some t-shirts
that are older than my oldest daughter...and she's about to
graduate high school =F0=9F=A4=A6=F0=9F=8F=BC=E2=80=8D=E2=99=82=EF=B8=8F

Like it or not, if you want to stay relevant as a brand and web
designer, you've got to stay current with what's going on.

I sat down this last week and shared 9 trends for 2025 that I'm
seeing. And, honestly, some of them would NEVER been on my web
design trend bingo card BUT here we are =F0=9F=98=82

6dpw8s3/aHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS9EUm1ua2FXUXA0bz9zaT1lVnR1YkFLVGROeWxhdFVC
)You can watch the video to see examples but here's a few that
stand out:

-----------------------------------------------------------
1. Messiness...or what I'm calling intentional imperfection
-----------------------------------------------------------

I've noticed a barrage of new sites that leave me questioning,
"Did you mean to do that?" And, then upon further inspection I
realize, yes, yes they did. And, it's kind of cool.

=E2=80=8B

--------------------
2. Microinteractions
--------------------

This one is a response to the big sweeping animations that have
become popular in the last few years on websites. Someone finally
stood up and said, "Hey, maybe these big animations are kind of
distracting and self-indulgent." =F0=9F=98=82

Don't get me wrong I'm all for a good animation. But,
microinteractions are much more subtle and always based on what
the user is doing.

So, you'll see text expand a little bit when your cursor hits it.
Or a border light up when your near.

It's a fun way to bring some visual interest and keep user
attention.

----------------
3. Bright & Bold
----------------

This one's not a shocker but websites are getting even more
bright and bold as years go on. It seems like every year it gets
JUST a little bigger and bolder.

You'll see super bright colors, lime green being particularly
popular. But, you'll also see text that expands across and entire
window.

=E2=80=8B

--------------------
4. Text Heavy Design
--------------------

Web designers are opting to get rid of images in lieu of huge
amounts of text. Listen, I'm a huge fan of a well placed image.
But, I kind of love this new trend. There is so much "design" in
text and colors alone. And, it's fun to see get people get really
creative. Sometimes, when you intentionally limit yourself it
causes your creativity to flourish.

I'm actually in the middle of building a website where I'm trying
to ONLY use text characters. Stay tuned =F0=9F=98=82

=E2=80=8B

----------------------
5. Cursor Alternatives
----------------------

This one brings me back to the good old MySpace days! But,
instead of small pictures of cats web designers are using more
subtle cursor alternatives. So, you'll see little trailing balls
of light as you move your mouse or instead of an arrow it'll be a
square. Simple but cool.

----------
6. Anti-UX
----------

This is definitely a unique one and I think it's a response to
the tech world's hyper focus with usability. UX and Product
designers have been on a mission to make websites and apps so
simple to use even my pre-schooler can figure things out. Lead by
books like "Don't Make Me Think," it's almost like we've decided
everyone shuts their brain off when they visit a website. And,
listen, I think there's some wisdom to that. BUT, I also think we
need to be careful not to go to far in that direction. This is a
cool take on how users and our thoughts on usability are
evolving.

=E2=80=8B
If you want to know the full 9 make sure to take a peek at the
video (
https://click.convertkit-mail.com/75u26xok4li8h6v0nlgizhw3mdo66sn/3ohphdu7k=
4ozgpfp/aHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS9EUm1ua2FXUXA0bz9zaT1kVzJQUmUxVWVvWGNjb0c2
).

One way or another it's cool that we get to work in an industry
where we're creatively challenged. There's something super
rewarding about starting with a blank project and turning it into
to something other people get to enjoy.

AND, hey, let me know which one's you like OR which ones you
think I missed.

Until next week!
Chris
