The purpose of different types of web design is to make best

use of the existing technologies to create eye-catching
websites, serving the very purpose of their conception.

Two of the different styles of web design available today are

static and dynamic web design. Today I will show you some
creative web designs which are popular nowadays that you
should know. It's time to break any old habits and try out
different types of web design:

1. ILLUSTRATIVE WEB DESIGN 

Illustration is an incredibly versatile tool that can find many
different uses in design. And when it comes to web design we
can find an extremely wide variety of implementations.

Illustrations and cartoon drawings can really bring a web

design to life. Drawing is a creative activity by definition, and
incorporating it into a website’s design is one of the most
creative methods of presenting information on the web. In
2016, illustration has become a vital part of a web
appearance by its enticing and fun little elements like icons.
Plus, the site will be more personal for users and connect
users better.

Check out the examples below.

 2. MINIMALIST WEB DESIGN

The purpose of minimalism is to expose the essence a design
by eliminating all non-essential forms, features and concepts.
In web design, minimalism erases potential distractions and
strips away elements into their most basic forms.

It’s a style that continues to be trendy, being a reaction to the

chaos and overflow of information that’s inherent to the
Internet. And if your portfolio’s sole purpose is to showcase
the best work you’ve ever created, the biggest favor you can
do for yourself is to simply get out of the way.

3. TYPOGRAPHY WEB DESIGN
First impressions are lasting impressions. Whether you realize
it or not, your typography helps to create an experience for
users before they’ve even read a word or clicked a button.
Typography has the potential to go beyond merely telling a
story — it shows the user who is behind the website and what
they’re about. The treatment of type creates an atmosphere
and elicits a response much the same way as tone of voice
does

As one of the core design principles, typography can really

make or break a website design. Despite recent advances in
web type technology we’re still fairly limited when it comes to
creative typography layouts, meaning image replacement
techniques are still common, but these days we have massive
choice when it comes to selecting fonts for our designs. 

However, with the rise of mobile usage within recent years,

one might argue that typography design is a drawback since it
decreases the loading time of the website. You can easily
solve this problem by displaying typography based on device
resolution.

4. SINGLE PAGE WEB DESIGN

Single page web designs certainly aren’t a new trend. Its
continuance suggests that it’s more practical and effective
than most. Like all trends, single page sites have their
advantages and shortcomings, but in a world where
thousands of new websites are created daily, a single page
web design may be the best way to cater to the ever-
shortening human attention span.

It should be noted that the single page web design isn’t

perfect for every purpose. Having a refined purpose for your
design, your content to fit a single page, and creating an
interesting layout are some of the most important focal points
to make your single page design meet its full potential.

5. FLAT WEB DESIGN

Flat design is a minimalistic design approach that emphasizes
usability. It features clean, open space, crisp edges, bright
colors and two-dimensional/flat illustrations.

Microsoft was one of the first to apply this design style to its
interface. Instead of converting a real-life object, such as a
calendar, into a tiny realistic illustration, advocates of flat
design identify apps with simple, icon-like images. Rather
than bringing aspects of real life to an interface, this
illustrates a clear separation between technology and tactile
objects.
