Oh, how time flies! We�re six months into 2017 and have already seen the coolest web design trends of this year.
But what about 2018?
Is there a chance to predict the next year�s web design trends?
Being not much of a fortuneteller, I�ve done some research and am ready to share my predictions.
To begin with, let�s recall the web design trends we�ve already seen in action in the first half of 2017 and try to predict if they are going to be on point next year (2018).
Hidden navigation combined with pop-out menus allows to create more space on the screen. This proves to be quite helpful in highlighting the specific navigational elements as well as helps promotional purposes.
Lately, you can see this in many websites which results in quite unexpected design solutions. More and more people today are using ready-made website templates based on WordPress CMS, so you can see this trend in services WordPress themes often.
Minimalism in web design has proved to stay for significant time, so it�s fair to say that clean and clutter-free layouts will be still trending in 2018.
Also, boxes are used by designers for layering to make a simple design look more perplexed. This trend roots from using card elements in material design style that are still on point, but not so much any more.
Long story short, whichever role boxed elements may play in the overall design, they are definitely going to trend in 2018.

Yet, hand in hand with the above-mentioned trend walks another one - the small-sized typography. Some designers use small and sparse text for body content, others tend to use it for some header elements.
The trick of a downsized text trend is that it gives a feeling of space for users� eyes to wander. It looks quite well if there is not much textual content to present. on the contrary, it can play a bad joke on the overall design concept if there are large text blocks - your content will get lost in typography.

1. Hidden Navigation and Pop-Out menus
At first, this design trend served to make the use of mobile apps more comfortable. Later on, it has transcended into web design for a good reason.Hidden navigation combined with pop-out menus allows to create more space on the screen.

2. Boxes as Design Element
Boxed design elements keep trending and becoming more diverse. Boxes can serve different aesthetic purposes - putting specific content into the limelight or linking to it. Since, boxes are meant to be visuals, they can take the form of pop-ups including a call to action or a picture.Also, boxes are used by designers for layering to make a simple design look more perplexed.

3. Text-based Design
Gradually, ghost buttons in navigational menus have become dislodged by text-based links. More and more often you come across website designs that strike you with bold typography and massive headers. One can�t but agree that this way a user can skim the contents of the homepage and get an idea of the page content at first sight.Yet, hand in hand with the above-mentioned trend walks another one - the small-sized typography.
