Web design, web development and graphic design and offshore outsourcing these tasks are in for some changes in 2015. Building on trends from 2014, these changes will greatly impact businesses (those that outsource their web design and those that have in-house teams) and the design community. What should your outsourced or in-house design and development teams be on the lookout for? What trends will affect productivity and the bottom line? Industry watchers present the top trends making waves now and in the coming year. Not all will be adopted at the same rate, but companies should make strategic decisions about them next year and beyond. Here’s what’s in store for web development and design:

Responsive Design

Responsive web design is a web design approach that provides the best viewing experience across all devices, from desktop to mobile. The page is easy to read and navigate without much scrolling or resizing, whether you are on a tablet, PC or iPhone. Sizing is fluid rather than absolute, allowing the page to adapt visually to whatever device you are using. Responsive design has become the new standard and is here to stay.

Scroll over Click

In 2015, more website visitors will come from mobile devices than desktops, ushering the era of scrolling over clicking. The result can be an endless barrage of information for desktop users, but you’re going to keep your mobile users happy by providing a more dynamic interactive experience.

Affordable Typography

Beautiful typography is big now and will continue to dominate websites in 2015. Beautiful typefaces tend to be expensive, leaving companies with tight budgets out of the fun. Not anymore. Type kits are going to be more affordable and accessible to designers wanting to make a splash with eye-catching fonts.

Big Backgrounds

Beautiful pictures and videos that fill the entire page will continue to mesmerize viewers, or at least make them pause and consider what you are selling. Not just any image will do, however. Make sure it is thoughtful, relevant, and arresting, not gimmicky or slapdash.

Semi-Dimensional Design

Google is the leader of flat design and now of semi-flat design. Instead of flat geometric shapes, the shapes get subtle shadows to make them look like more like real-world objects without being full-on three-dimensional.

Transparent Buttons

Transparent or ghost buttons are those empty geometric shapes typically bordered by a very thin line and paired with an unobtrusive sans serif font. Ghost buttons are everywhere and many websites aiming for the minimal, stylish look are adopting them.

Unique Branding

Design elements like typefaces, content, interactive page elements and even color that embody your company values and philosophy are going to be what visitors are going to respond to and connect with. Make sure that your web presence is as solid, memorable and unique as the product or service you are selling.

Mobile Computing and Design

As more people use mobile devices, web development will focus on the needs of consumers rather than device design alone. Better security, simple user interfaces, and smarter interactions should improve the customer experience.

Smart Machines and the Internet of Things (IoT)

The Internet of Things is a scenario where man-made or natural objects are connected to the internet and are able to transfer data over a network. Today, it mostly refers to machine to machine communication in the energy and manufacturing industries. According to a Business Insider intelligence report, the Internet of Things will be more than double the size of the mobile device, PC, connected car, and wearable tech market by 2019.

Smart devices will drive the development of elegant systems that respond appropriately to their surroundings. Smart machines like robots, intelligent operating systems, and advanced virtual assistants are already here and rapidly evolving. They won’t become mainstream in 2015, but when they do, it will be the most disruptive moment in IT history.

Outsource Web Design, Development & Graphics Design to Stay Productive and Profitable

Web development and design outsourcing had a banner year in 2014, and analysts predict the trend will continue to 2015 as the corporations and businesses grow more confident about the market. As companies aim to provide a better experience across all devices for their customers, cutting edge technology and infrastructure along with specialized design and development skills will be in demand.

If you run a fledgling company or a startup, the best way to stay relevant and compete with the big players in the industry is to outsource web development and design to an experienced third party. Large firms can also benefit from the rich network, domain expertise, and advanced technology that web development and design firms offer.

As cloud and mobile computing continue to promote the growth of integrated apps that can be accessed by all devices, companies will need more agile programming to deliver flexibility in the digital business environment. It can be difficult to recruit and train the right professionals for the job. Instead, you can save time and money by partnering with an offshore provider with a proven track record.
