What are the newest Website Trends for 2025?

Keeping up with the latest trends is important for a web designer, and you.

Key point take-aways from reading about a few of the newest trends:

• Eco-friendly sites and Sustainability Focus: Eco-friendly websites focus on sustainability to reduce the environmental impact.  Manufacturing materials used in computers, their design, transportation, durability, and reprocessing is to ensure that the sites are considerate of both people and the planet.

• Micro-interactions: Subtle animations or visual cues that provide immediate feedback to users, like a button changing color on hover.

• Cinematic scrolling (Parallax scrolling): Creates a sense of depth and immersion by moving background elements at a different speeds as the user scrolls.  I’ve seen this on others but not with different speeds.

• Bold typography: Using large, unique fonts to make a statement and draw attention.  This does not seem like a new trend for 2025.

• Organic shapes: Incorporating fluid, natural shapes instead of rigid geometric designs.

• Dark mode: A color scheme with dark backgrounds for improved visibility in low-light conditions.

• 3D elements: Integrating 3D graphics to create a more immersive experience.
• Emotional design: Designing with the intention of evoking specific emotions in users.  That’s what a lot of websites do already.

At Website Designs by Lisa, we focus on many of the latest trends mentioned above, however, I will always take a step back when working with a client to determine if any of these new trends would work for their business website.  Working with new, small and start-up businesses, I like to take my time and try a few of the newest trends to see how it looks and if it works for my clients.

One of my takeaways from my Google search finding is that not a lot has changed from the 2024 trends.  Eco-friendly practices, pertaining to the environment, are used for designing websites more than not.  My server, Dreamhost.com, is an Eco-friendly server.  I love how we are doing more for our environment
