This month we are focusing on three trends within a bigger website design trend – different navigation menu styles and features. So many projects are featuring interesting navigation patterns right now as there’s a focus – and almost push and pull – on navigation that feels more consistent between devices.

The choices you make when selecting a typeface have more impact on your design than almost any other decision, so it’s good to have some options at hand.

Having the ability to envision a tastefully designed website (i.e., the role creativity plays) is important. But being able to actually build it more often than not depends upon the tools available, including recent developments and improvements in web design tools and resources for designers and agencies alike.

Every month we gather together a selection of the most exciting websites from the preceding four weeks.

Web design agencies face a lot of obstacles in closing the deal with new clients. One of the most common ones is the argument that business owners make:

“Why do I need to pay you to build my website when I can just do it myself?”

There are hundreds of new tools for designers and developers released each month. We sift through them all to bring you the best.

All three of the website design trends here mimic something bigger going on in the tech space, from a desire to have more real connections (handwriting) to nods to social media (stickers) to models that are rooted in artificial intelligence. Every one of these design themes is more than a technique; it carries a tie to the greater world around us.

It’s time to stop worrying if AI is going to take your job and instead start using AI to expand the services you can offer to clients and the skills you can add to your résumé.
