The year 2014 is coming to an end. While all normal people are choosing the place to celebrate the New Year, web-developers and designers are thinking what the design for the year 2015 will be like. That year's trends are undoubtedly important since they are likely to strengthen their positions in the coming year.
1. Responsive Design

Make it for your website until the end of the year. Don't fall behind!
2. Big, beautiful and stunning background images.

Big images were popular in the year 2014. Their popularity is expected to rise in the following year. High-quality and attractive images will greatly influence visitors so don't be silly and make full use of them.
3. Infographics

As it was said in Raffaello advert “instead of a thousand words” )) The infographics will gain in popularity in 2015. Its key advantage is the opportunity to say a lot with minimum text (just as viewing images is much more interesting that reading texts ). Web graphics are more attractive for users so get ready: your clients will demand these tools on your website.
4. Scrolling

Scrolling is a great opportunity to improve the user experience because extra clicks are thought to be irritating. Another amazing thing is parallax scrolling. Rumors have it that parallax effect has magic powers to significantly improve the usability of your website. Feel free to do experiments with parallax in the coming year.
5. Typography

Let's go back a little to the past: websites with sophisticated types used to be quite costly. Today, we have a lot of inexpensive tools and types that do wonders. Expect to see fantastic typography in the following year.
6. Flat design

The flat design is not going to leave us, what's more, the design is at the peak of its popularity and it's not going to drop.
7. Data visualization

Forget about these dull static diagrams, histograms, etc. In the coming year, designers will try to make them more attractive with the dint of animation.
8. Background video

In 2014, there was a tendency towards background images. In the following year, on many websites, we will watch videos instead of images on their homepages. These videos will tell you a story of a brand or they will be just thematic and cute.
9. Animation

The Internet speed is increasing, the quality of screens is improving, animation effects are getting better, so by using the right animation, it'll be much easier to reach the aims of your website.
10. 3D

Having estimated the steadily growing opportunities of the web, designers and developers are beginning to use 3D effects. It looks sensational and I doubt they will forget about this impressive thing in the following year.
To sum up, the tendencies that were popular in 2014 are likely to be in favor in the following year. But these are just trends, so be original, do experiments and creat new tendencies.
