Large background images call for greater engagement with users and more prominence and definition to your website. An increased in the use of 3D images and fully responsive HD-quality video in the background is also expected very soon. Other elements in the background should properly complement each other so that the background image stays powerful and elegant whilst the navigational buttons and content on the page can also be easily distinguished.

They also go by the name “empty” or “hollow” buttons, have thin border and are much bigger in size than the standard ones. They are said to balance well with properly set large background images and videos and lends a touch of sophistication to the site.

With the introduction of the one page web design, your site gets loaded all at once offering user the scope to view all that you have to offer on the first page itself. Hence, another 2015 web design trend is the one-page scrolling website where all information is pooled in one page. This is not only an ideal set up for executing the interactive storytelling trend, but also paves the way for a more effective and pleasant mobile experience.

The motive behind such a type of design is to efficiently and quickly convey the information to the user.

• Grid-Based Layouts:It has become a much loved trend among many web designers. Where the need of large content lists is higher, web designers resort to the use of grid-based layout. It is a structure that comprises of a range of vertical or horizontal lines within which the content is beautifully structured.This renders a very trendy look to a website while at the same time enables the user to quickly find the needed information.
