A lot of my customers and fellow designers ask me what my favorite tools are for web design and in particular, which platform I use. Figuring out which platform is the right one for building a website is a really important decision and I did a great deal of research on all of the options out there before landing on one. I ultimately decided to use the Without Code website builder. It combines simplicity and flexibility in design, which ensures I can deliver on features my clients want, but also isn’t so complicated that my client can’t contribute through their own account. In addition, the Without Code Worry-Free Hosting is extremely reliable and easy to use; in a few simple steps I can have the site up online for my clients.
2019 is almost upon us and with it comes a new set of web design trends coming down the pike! While I’m careful to evaluate all new trends when it comes to design, I always make sure to stay up-to-date with what’s popular. The most notable trends emerging for 2019 include many design features, but also include functional concepts. Design features include 3D elements, such as illustrations, as well as a move towards sans serif logos. In terms of functionality, there has been a huge shift over the last several months towards accessible websites. It’s becoming increasingly important to ensure websites are easily accessible and understood by everyone regardless of ability. This means straightforward interfaces, easy to read text, and clear contrast. Each overarching concept should be taken with a grain of salt, but as the web evolves it’s so important that we evolve with it.
