If the user is comfortable on your site and enjoys being there, the information you’re presenting will come across and be received more clearly. Here are some ways the leading web designers are creating comfortable spaces online.

As the race to digitize the consumer experience hits blinding velocities, so does
the effort to make it as palatable to the customer as possible. Web design trends
tend to be a little more utilitarian than those in the fashion and illustration fields.
The ultimate goal is to create a lucid web experience wherein the site design is
aesthetic to the point of being pleasurable to the user. If the user is comfortable on
your site and enjoys being there, the information you’re presenting will come
across and be received more clearly. Here are some ways the leading web
designers are creating comfortable spaces online.
1. Dynamic Backgrounds with Depth of Field
This technique has flourished in the web design community for its ability to give
the user the sense of entering an environment. Background photography and
video will give your website the feel of having a tangible presence, and your
selection of the appropriate background gives you the option of adding a distinct
mood or essence. There is a wealth of media available for sale online, but the
technique works better if you hire a photographer or videographer who can
articulate the aims of the company.
2. Here are a few tips that may come in handy for implementation:
Use environmental images, they work great
Large interiors with blurred movement in the deep background, will help to
catch your viewer’s eye
Eliminate home page clutter to make this first impression read clearly
2. Full Screen Navigation
A decade of smartphone integration has brought back this go-to style. Pop-up or
drop-down menus tend to be a cluttered mess and the effort to streamline sites for
mobile use has translated over to the computer screen as well. Advances in
navicon buttons and web animation have opened up the possibilities for this
design approach, but with so many tools it can be challenging to keep your pages
clean and easy to read. Minimalism is the underlining theme of 2015 and is as
necessary in responsive full screen navigation as in anything else. One important
thing to remember when implementing full screen navigation is to make sure that
each page has a core concept that is engaging to the user and is delivered with as
little clutter as possible.
3. 3. Enter the Scroll Wheel
Another red-hot trend that has transferred over from the mobile market is known
as the UX Movement, the prominence of scrolling over clicking. Web users have
been vocal about how intuitive it feels to scroll, and they don’t hate that it saves on
loading time. A perfect way to introduce scrolling on your site in a dynamic way is
through parallax scrolling, wherein the background image moves at a different
rate than your foreground content. This effect creates the illusion of depth with 2D
elements. On the forefront of this technology is the ability for the user to interact
with and trigger animated elements via the scroll wheel. This technique evokes
the sensation of fluidity and is a great way to capture the users’ attention.
The list of ways in which today’s leading designers are creating rich and engaging
web sites is extensive, but they all have one thing in common: minimalism. Now
that the initial barrage of two decades of online information has washed over the
user base, it is generally understood that the best approach entails simple
aesthetics. These top trends represent a unified effort to streamline how
designers present online information and a keen focus on making the action of
browsing a pleasant one.
