Top 3 WordPress webdesign trends
In this article, we discuss the current WordPress web design trends. It is clear that a WordPress web design must be attractive and distinctive. But that is also a problem. What is attractive, distinctive, and still complies with the latest WordPress web design trends? And more importantly, which WordPress web design ensures conversion!
Over the years, the OneTap.Online team has worked at various WordPress website development agencies in different roles. Based on this experience, we regularly write articles, and today we describe the current web design trends.
1. Mobiele bezoekers (responsive)
Nowadays, more and more visitors to your website are accessing it via their mobile devices. This includes not only mobile phones, but also 13″ laptops and tablets. Therefore, every WordPress web design must be responsive. This means that you need to think carefully about what you want to show and what you don’t want to show, and especially where. Google sees it simply: if you can leave it out on mobile, then it’s not that important. And don’t forget the loading speed of your mobile WordPress pages, which are critically examined by search engines such as Google. In any case, make sure that mobile visitors can quickly find your contact details and, if necessary, look up an address or even a route. That is, if you have a shop, branch or customer service department, of course! All of this should be included in a good WordPress web design. We have already applied these tips for you in our WordPress web design gallery. Take a look here!
2. Gradient colors
A colour gradient is the continuous transition between two or more colours. These can be completely different colours, but also different shades (pro tip: see the header of this page).
Colour gradients are being used more and more often. WordPress web designs increasingly feature areas with colour gradients (such as the header of this page). Another example is the VPRO website design. This could well become a major WordPress web design trend of the year.
In our award-winning page editor, it is very easy to incorporate gradients into a page. This makes it simple to quickly take advantage of this WordPress web design trend yourself, without any additional designer costs!
There are two commonly used applications of colour gradients. A gradient on a surface with mainly solid colours. Or a colour gradient over a video or photo as a semi-transparent layer. Both solutions are easy and quick to implement using the page builders we provide and can therefore be adapted directly to any WordPress web design. To indicate their popularity, even the NPO uses colour gradients in their television broadcasts. See the NPO video below.

3 Animations with vectors
To give a website a bit more dynamism and distinctiveness, animated vector images are used in many WordPress web designs. Unlike the first generation of ‘gifs’, these have fortunately been adapted to current web design trends. See some examples of these animated vectors:
The static version is used again for offline purposes in order to create cross-media unity in style.
Conclusie
