Despite moves toward more original and standout styles, minimalism continued to dominate the internet. Clean simplicity is undeniably appealing, and even on sites that featured brighter colors or experimental elements, it was often accompanied by flat design.

However, “Flat 2.0,” or semi-flat design, took hold with its use of shadows, gradients and other slightly more complex elements. As long as minimalism exists, designers will find a way to put a spin on it.

Subtle animations were also a big part of 2018, with light parallax and austria phone number data smooth hover effects appearing everywhere. This allowed minimalist websites to maintain their simplicity while making the overall design much prettier.

Geometric Design
Most sites include polygons and geometry to some extent, but geometric design was a big part of 2018 trends. Sites were made solely around simple shapes like squares, rectangles, and lines, and also featured smaller details like buttons or decorative boxes.

The sharp corners of polygons and the rounded edges of organic geometry were often combined to create a visually appealing contrast.
