Web Design Trends 2024

Here come the design trends of 2024 that will be taking over website remodels!

Everything from Maximalism, ‘80s excess, heritage revivalism to Kawaii-inspired femme.

Web design trends responded to the cultural temp: a maximalist design approach solidified its place on our screens, users continued to lean into Y2K and early web nostalgia in search of more connection; designers took on AI tools and questioned how soon it will change just about everything.

 

Maximalism
Loud graphics, colorful, expressive typography
A more-is-more approach
For example: mollybaz.com

Heritage Revivalism
Excess, ornamentation and tiny details of the 17th and 18th century
For example: buly1803.com/en-us

‘80s Excess
Callbacks, single-color gradients, vintage photography
For example: vacation.inc

Brand Worldbuilding
Holistic approach, inviting folks to be part of the story, creating community
For example: dieuxskin.com

Dial-up Design
Nostalgia for the early days of the web when AOL was king!
Low-fi assets, memes, Y2K callbacks
For example: juliecare.co

Retrofuture Femme
The internet is getting cuter! Kawaii
For example: airmilkshake.com

Bentobox Layout
Organized, UI versatile, compartmentalized, functional sections
For example: workshopsurvival.com

Skeuomorphism
Creating elements that mimic their real-world counterparts
For example: the-drum-machine.webflow.io

Parallax Scrolling
Background content moves at a different speed than foreground content.
Yes, this was popular about 10 years ago, but it is back with live content, video and images!
For example: the-goonies.webflow.io

 

No matter the trends, the goal is to attract and engage your audience.
And to assist them to find what they need when they need it.
