#10 Hot Web Design Trends For 2021-
A strong and attractive web design is important for a successful business. The vast majority will forsake your site if it has a poor UI and user experience. A website’s design influences trust in a business and users desire to interact with it. Let’s see web design trends that will skyrocket in 2021.

**1. Bold Typography-**
Use of bold fonts on websites is a trend that will stay in 2021 too. Simple fonts are easy to read, clear and visually appealing. Heavy fonts allow businesses to quickly show information. You can combine simple fonts with a simple background and you’ll get a perfect and minimalist great image for your website. 

**2. Horizontal Scrolling-**
Many websites dabble with various scrolling techniques for a unique user experience.  Vertical scrolling is a typical scrolling experience. Horizontal scrolling is a UX design trend that catches users’ attention while remaining simple and functional. Designers employing horizontal scroll should consider the following points-

Use clear visual cues to indicate where content uses horizontal scroll and don’t hide these cues behind hovers
Do not force users to navigate through horizontal content- allow alternate way to navigate, like arrow buttons with clear labels.
Be insightful about what content would benefit by being shown in a  horizontal scroll — a photo gallery is a good competitor as horizontal scroll would show users a small preview, and allow them the alternative to see more or keep moving down the page
Avoid the need of horizontal scroll for text that needs to be read

**3. 3D In Motion-**
Large and hyper-realistic 3D object that move subtly on website is a big trend in web design. It is good for selling physical products because you can show them in detail and make them real to look. Motion design is a latest technology used in web designing as businesses try to grab attention with videos. In 2021, motion design will appear more on websites themselves.

**4. Frosted Glass Effects-**
Latest advances in web technology have allowed the simple implementation of frosted glass effects on websites. Blurr view of elements behind the frosted glass overlay helps to add color to an area and also allows text or objects to appear over the image and remain readable. The impact has become a well known option in a designer’s tool belt and progressively been used as a background instead of gradients.

**5. Voice Activated Interface-**
Way of accessing information is changing- rather than typing into Google, we now ask a question or make a demand. This implies web design is adjusting to keep up with the prevalence of voice chatbots and virtual assistants. A voice activated interface is not commonplace for most websites, this trend will skyrocket in the foreseeable future. 

**6. Scrollytelling-**
We’ve seen a growing trend in designers telling stories through web experiences. Here comes scrollytelling- visual storytelling that heightens story and hooks you into its narrative. 

The best applications of scrollytelling practice restrain:

* Keep motion within small area
* Provide interactions on user’s terms: provide obvious playback controls to play/ pause/ stop interactions and motions
* Ensure that any scrollytelling elements help to emphasize the story, instead of distracting from important text.
