What are some good web design trends for 2010?

Web design trends: Will web UI designs becoming more similar to tablet specific designs?

  • As an aspiring UI designer, I think there is value in build web designs that translate easily to tablets. Tablet designs tend to be more straightforward, and are more likely to buck the conventional web design trends that have developed over the past 15 years of web design (I.e. menu bar at the top with sections). I think the best, most innovative UI designs have come directly from designers designing for tablets. So my question is, as established UI designers, do you see web design trends becoming more similar to tablet design over the next 5 years?

  • Answer:

    This sounds more like a poll than a question, but I would say yes. It's too time consuming to build a UI for every device, so we will probably move towards a world where some compromises are made to make the UI work for both interaction modes (mouse and fingers).

I'm sure it will be a significant factor for many future-conscious designs. But I think it is only a fraction of what a design may look like. A design nowadays is more fluid than a small size range such as a tablet. I'd say as HTML and CSS become more powerful and is compatible with a high percent of the market we will start seeing things that only native apps provide. That would include more things than tablets: smartphones, retina laptops, and maybe even television. And considering recent influences, we will probably see some flatter design thanks to Microsoft surface/windows 8 craze, and interaction patterns used in all touch devices.
