Small businesses have the ability to tell the world who they are and what they do. The internet affords almost anyone a way to put themselves out there; but it can be hard not to be lost in the crowd. A quality, professionally made website that not only builds off of your business’ own style but then follows the trends of the growing internet, has more of a chance to be found than a cookie-cutter, DIY website. But what are the newest trends for web design?  Small businesses have the ability to tell the world who they are and what they do.

Cards on the Table

Many websites today are following a trend that presents information and links in rectangles, referred to as cards. They are displayed horizontally, and in rows. Pinterest was one of the pioneers of this design, and it has becoming more and more popular for blogs, event pages, and more. A good example of this is our very own blog page, seen here.

Illustrate Your World

Illustrations can show off your business’ true colors. An illustration brings together interesting typography and graphics. They can be made to be fun, or sleek. The right illustration can say a lot more than a slider can. As a visual element, graphic work like illustrations can be a versatile part of how you wish to present your company. For an example, you can look to the website of Egger’s Ice Cream Parlor, seen here.

Video Sliders – One Step Further

Elevate the message your slider brings to your website with a video instead of slides. With a video slider, you can show off your workers in action, your finished products, and more. A properly executed video slider can allow you to present all of the information you need in a visually engaging manner that makes your company more memorable. An example of a Video Slider in action is the website of L&S Collisions, seen here.
