Why Flat Web Design is Amazing and Beautiful

Published

on

Flat web design is all the rage right now. Web designers are finding this trend amazing and fascinating as it allows them to push their creativity and their imagination without adding gaudy designing elements.

Simplicity

The visual aesthetics of a site are important, or at least they are nowadays. In the early days of web design, sites tended to be “busy” and crammed with useless imagery, as was demonstrated when Homer Simpson designed his own website. Flat Design ensures a simple, straightforward layout that is reliant on color coding and clear segmentation of functions and options.

Functionality

The clear layout of Flat Design makes for a far more pleasurable user experience, improving functionality, since one of the key aspects of flat design is easy navigation.

Honesty

Honesty seems like an odd thing to list as an attribute of a type of web design, but Flat Design certainly adds a sense of honesty to your page – there’s no unnecessary and flashy design to hide behind, and what you see is what you get.

Mobility

Flat Design is a far superior option when it comes to Smartphone’s and tablets, as the functionality of the design makes it easier to use on a smaller screen, and the minimalist aspect means the site will load faster when accessing a site while on the go.

Faster Loading

When a site is less “busy,” it loads far more quickly, and this has benefits when it comes to your Google ranking. Google places an emphasis on site loading speed as one of their difficult to fathom means of improving ranking.

The Site is Easier to Design

This is hardly a surprise, but a Flat Design, straightforward website is far easier to design than one with a lot of bells and whistles, meaning ongoing additions to your page are equally easier to implement.

Text Becomes More Important 

Typography and the subsequent selection of text means that your message can be conveyed more clearly, although while this is developed, it presents additional problems – you might find it difficult to cull text from certain portions of your site in order to fit in with the Flat Design aesthetic.

Works Within the Limits of the Screen

Flat Design minimizes the need to scroll, since the page almost acts as a dashboard, with everything the user needs just a single click away. It could be argued that flat design is a more logical way of setting out information in a digital format.

Emphasizes a Digital Interaction Rather than a Real World Interaction

Some websites try to replicate a real world experience, and until Google Glass gives us viable virtual reality, this is simply not the best option for page design. Some sites try to immerse you in the product or service, to almost try and make you forget that you’re visiting a website. Flat Design is a definitive digital interaction, perhaps making the online experience a more honest process.

It Caters to Those with a Short Attention Span

Flat Design allows an understanding of the site “at a glance.” There are no blocks of text for a user to scroll through, and as such, skim reading works in this medium – which means that users are more likely to stay on the page.
