Web Design Trends To Watch For In 2012

[Mark121]

Hi,
Does your current website's design look stale and outdated?

Have your rankings and sales dropped over the past year?

Are you keeping up with the current web design trends?

If your current website has not been redesigned for several years it may no longer attract visitors and retain high search engine rankings because it hasn't kept pace with current web design trends. For example one of my static HTML websites hasn't been redesigned for a decade. Even though I still get new clients and retain good rankings for some web pages I've noticed a drop in traffic over the past year.

Following are 7 Web Design Trends To Watch For In 2012 :

1. Website speed

2. HTML5 & CSS3 Standards

3. Mobile design

4. QR Codes (Quick Response codes)

5. Static to Content Management System (CMS)

6. Web Fonts and Typography

7. Videos

Each year, trends for web designing are new but one more trend including above is Infographic which is the way to represent information in term of visual medium rather than simple plain text.

I have been hearing more and more about these infographics. I will have to start paying more attention to that. Mobile design is a trend that is here to stay and grow. While I have seen a good amount of information on QR codes, I have not yet seen how they can be beneficial to webdesign because I have mostly only seen them used in print marketing.
