Another year has gone by and with it the rise and fall of web design trends that has sparked imagination and captured the attention of internet users all over the world. But now, 2023 is right around the corner, and the future is looking bright for design innovation.

‍

Enthusiasts are predicting alot of design inspiration to come from Y2k nostalgia, featuring more simple text-focused layouts and ample white space.

‍

In this post, we cover 5 trends to watch out for when planning your new website or modifications.

Fun Cursors

‍

Remember back in the early 2000s when your cursor arrow was a lot more funky? Maybe it was a small animated animal or some kind of graphic. Either way, the custom cursor trend is looking to make a comeback in 2023! 

Pixilated Fonts

‍

We are also seeing a resurgence of pixilation with new website designs, particularly with fonts, icons, and logos. It grabs the attention where the rest of the site is minimal, while giving a retro touch.

Hand-Drawn Letters

‍

Block letters, pops of bright colors, and black outlines are back as designers are starting to create hand-drawn lettering for logos and illustrations. This makes for a fun, playful aesthetic, not to mention a custom design that no one can copy.

Metaverse

‍

The Metaverse is a hotly debated topic, but that’s because it’s on everyone’s minds as the next big thing to come. That’s why it’s important to keep on top of it, as this interactive virtual trend will undoubtedly have an impact on web design in some shape or form. We are seeing inspiration drawn from 3D elements, such as 3D illustrations, cursors, backgrounds, and text.

Giving Users the Power of Customization

‍

Websites are becoming more personal, as platforms look for fresh ways to let the user customize their experience as they see fit. Tools are being created to elevate accessibility, with features like dark mode, sound preferences, and interactive features taking front and center.
