9 Web Design Trends 2025 to Spruce Up Your Site

[@RaymondTheThird]

Honestly this is one of the best ones I've seen yet. It focused on functionalities vs styles

[@StreamlineShine]

So informative, thank you so much!☺

[@integrityispriceless]

Wooooaaah. Just had a lightbulb moment. That voice. You are The "Self-Made Web Designer". It’s like a gym brother advicing on lifting weights is a former Olympian. Your podcast were so good brother. God bless you.

[@showit]

Haha yep! Thanks for the kind words and the podcast is starting back up soon!

[@michaelaarvidsson1]

Love how you added some background stories to how it used to be before the specific trend now 😃🙌🏼

[@showit]

Ahh thank you! Glad you liked it.

[@quinnpipes8248]

profound explanation and great content

[@showit]

@@quinnpipes8248 thank you! Glad you liked it

[@bonirving]

Yeah I agree, I've noticed a trend towards neon greens, vivid pinks, and bright oranges, moving away from the typical blue. Thank for the share, Great video!

[@showit]

Yeah I'm a fan

[@mazlanhalim9141]

[@Barden-h6p]

Thank you, really enjoyed this

[@showit]

Oh good! Thanks so much for watching.

[@silvansoeters]

really cool video, 1st time I've seen one of yours! loved the anti-usability perspective :)

[@showit]

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah it’s a real interesting development. Not sure it’s something a lot of folks can do but still fun to see

[@michelemoneywell8765]

This was interesting, informative, and inspiring Well done!

[@showit]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

[@samcharo]

Good work bro but always share the links in the description... 😂 Thank you !

[@showit]

Haha...you know still learning and growing

[@samcharo]

@@showit True thanks again!

[@OnlyKingNas-]

Navigation power up and down is what I would love to build

[@UXMurt]

Super cool video, I feel like micro interactions are the easiest to spruce up an already created website but if you start from scratch than you would consider scrollytelling, or even varied navigation styles!

[@showit]

Thank you! And, yeah I think you're right. There are some things that are pretty easy to implement.

[@creatoratplay]

This is great; thank you!!

[@showit]

Glad it helped!

[@zayne-p]

Great video. Maybe consider linking to the websites/designs you showcase in the description for some further inspiration and recognition for the folks who are ahead of the curve.

[@EsterOfLina]

Yes to this! I'm wondering what website is on 9:46?

[@showit]

Absolutely! Will put those in the description now.

[@aspencreative]

Thank you Chris, super inspiring! I'd never add sound (without the user opting into it), we've gotta think about the people in open spaces or those who forgot to turn the volume down 😅

[@showit]

haha...yeah me neither!

[@SharonMarta]

The beyond up and down version reminds me of when Flash was popular. Probably dates me.

[@showit]

Nope! It's funny how things are cyclical!

[@bakeraus]

I see a heap of websites now that remind me of the Flash era. I now see 90s baggy pants fashion coming back first time seeing this cycle in my lifetime, I was there !

[@SkullTraill]

I’d date you for sure

[@bambinoesu]

these websites are 😍😍😍

[@showit]

@@bambinoesu so good, right!?

[@markdkberry]

what software develops trend 8?. I've been React for a while and looking at going Next js and tailwind this year. Who is using what? And what is AI going to make irrelevant from dev perspective?

[@nathan-sg7cu]

The traditional & best practice ones will still drive more results though lol.

[@showit]

Absolutely! It’s all about context.

[@Barden-h6p]

Yea I agree

[@Barden-h6p]

At some point over design distracts from the message

[@propylaeen]

These are guppy websites: flashy, shallow platforms for brands and people with nothing to say, catering to an audience with a goldfish-like attention span. But great work, thank you for sharing-hopefully next: how to use web techniques to actually say something meaningful.

[@showit]

Thanks for sharing!

[@thewebstylist]

Great sites WOW! But man why didn’t u include the link so we could view the platforms and source codes etc

[@showit]

Thank you! They should be up there now underneath the timestamps

[@tjsayers5428]

I enjoyed your presentation and personality. However, my website design and development begins with accessibility. These trends for 2025 appear to be just another way to prevent people from accessing content on a website. 😢 Accessibility also helps with SEO. Thanks.

[@showit]

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Accessibility is definitely a key priority and good SEO!

[@beavenjnr4187]

Couldve done with more examples tbh. We are visual learners

[@showit]

@@beavenjnr4187 thanks for the feedback

[@AndreSalata]

I do remember Myspace 👴

[@showit]

@@AndreSalata 😂 those were good times

[@Joe-m1u1y]

Sounds like if you're an amateur, you're in demand. Do you worst! ;)

[@showit]

😂 yeah some of these had me scratching my head

[@markdkberry]

2025 is going to need reverse psychology applied to stand out

[@mertsabuncuu]

desktop web site traffic 3% lol

[@showit]

Yeah I guess it all depends. I’ve worked on some sites with much more 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@DrewAndersen]

The focus should have zero relevance or mention to trend. Only brand. Where have designers lost that core principle

[@thomas-fischer]

Everythging what you speaking for is nice and shiny but it is totally useless on mobile and why I have to make huge circumstances for just 15% of desktop visitors? Nobody see the expense of it.

[@showit]

Yeah, it's interesting most of the websites I've worked out get well more than half of the views on desktop 🤷🏼‍♂️ I guess it depends on your unique situation.

[@DrewAndersen]

These websites are shit. I’m sick of paper back sites with obsessively loud bullshit.

[@Didierhikes68]

These seem to be coming from bored web designers, who need some stimulation. There is so much hoohaa in these, they are exhausting. The purpose is fine but if your site doesn’t meet your target market half way, you may lose them. Almost all of these trends would overwhelm and stress out the people with a disability, mental health and parents that are my clients. The only one I like was be human and authentic but still professional. The rest are trends for the purpose of just being a trend, which has 0 authenticity.

[@showit]

Appreciate the feedback and the perspective.
