Flat web design is a growing trend that shows no sign of stopping. With the Windows 8 Metro UI new look for the latest Windows operating system and Apple’s iOS 7 soon to launch, web site designers have not wanted to miss out on the move towards flat design that is stretching well beyond operating systems and apps. Now flat design is moving to the web site arena too.
In the past, shadows, gradients, textures and other elements were used to imply depth in the image and often to make up for a lack of clarity due to low screen resolutions. Now that the issue of low resolutions has been largely done away with, these extra visual cues can now finally be removed in favor of a cleaner, brighter look.
As graphic designers play around with the very idea of flat web design, they are starting to develop some interesting new concepts for how to better organize and present information on a web page. Focusing on minimization, simplicity and elegance as watch words, designers around the world have been trying their hand at redesigning web sites in a visually simpler way. Some of the early results were interesting, but with more practice, we are now finally beginning to see some stunning designs.
We have put together our collection of the best of what has been produced recently in the area of flat web design. We hope you enjoy the collection and find inspiration too.
