Very good news for all web designers is that in 2011 we will see the official retirement of IE6 and projected retirement of IE7. According to this year s trend web designer should be able to make the very responsive and informative website design with harmonious colors like green, yellow and red as primary colors. Try to work within the shades of these colors for variety. In previous year white, black and grey color are in popularity.

This year is believed as year of readers, so make your website with lot of easily accessible information. Content rich website with original content is also helpful for search engines. Beauty of the webpage is secondary thing. From the design point of view we can talk about few things at first font face. In 2011 we can say that all website designing companies focuses on typographic exploration and that webfont-powered typefaces will play a bigger role for online brand identity. Font-squirrel’s ‘@font-face generator’ help us to make our personal designer fonts to work online, while Type-kit took it one step further and provided us with a whole new playground.

Large fotographic backgrounds also help web designers to grab audience but it should be related to content and impressive. And parallax effect uses layers to present the illusion of a 3 dimensional space. Depth perception is about creating dimension in your web design, so that parts of your site looks nearer than others. If we talk about interactivity we can guess that it comes from flash only, but this year web designers finally start let go flash because of misused of flash in 2010. Now they make interactive designs using easy to use java script libraries like jQuery. HTML5 and css3 take us one step forward due to its advance features like animation, opacity and transition. However, HTML5 cannot (yet) replace the extraordinary design elements we can achieve through Flash. Thumbnail browsing is popular these days. These days, you just click on the magnifying glass and hover. If your design is Flash-based, that is definitely going to be a problem. The preview will not display those elements of your design. So, simply avoid using flash.

A very big change in this year is cross device compatible design. Means your design/web page not only support desktop PC or laptops but it should also support smart phones , netbooks and tablets and their screen resolutions. This year demands for mobile ready websites. Liquid layouts may help at much higher level for screen resolution problem. Make your design flexible so that it can be adjustable at every resolution horizontally and vertically. Because visitors can change their view orientation from horizontal to vertical. Overall your design should be flexible to meet any challenge.

Website designers should have the knowledge of CMS of website so that he can be able to make thoughtful CMS friendly design. To make web pages lighter in weight and for fast loading speed, website designers trying extra stuffs like editing in .htaccess file. It will make pages compress or deflate and save petabytes of bandwidth. In CS5 version of Adobe Dreamweaver we can find new controls for making pure css dropdown menus and a new dialogue box for easily customize Spry elements for website designers. Also New WordPress WYSIWYG plug-ins that help web designers customize WP templates visually. You can also track visitors from Quick responses. It is a kind of barcode. By placing a special referral code on your URL you can track your visitors. When you are leaving comments on sites such as this, use the QR as your avatar. This is very helpful in mobile sites. To generate ur QR http://qrcode.kaywa.com/. Adventures domain names may interact more users. So, book .me and .us domain rather than .com. It may interact more users.
