With Google’s recent Mobile friendly update, there has been an increase in the need and demand of responsive web designs to make the websites more mobile friendly.

Our web designers have predicted these 4 interesting web design trends to catch up popularity in the coming months of 2016:

1. Animations– There has been an increase in the websites using large and small scale animations to make their storytelling more entertaining for the visitors. You can consider including loading animations, hover animations, motion animations, background videos and slideshows on your website to make it more visually appealing.

2. Micro interactions– Integrate micro-interactions in your website’s UI to get these things done:
a.Help user manipulate something
b.Communicate the feedback or status of some action
c.Display the result of an action

3. Flat design– Flat design is one of the popular existing trends and it is not going anywhere, anytime soon. To make your designs look more attractive, try to implement vibrant colour schemes, minimalistic designs, long shadows and simple typography.

4. Material design– This new style language launched last year by Google soon became famous for their realistic shadow effects and depth concepts. The whole intension behind the development of Material Design was to provide rocking UX and UI across devices.

Oh and you might have noticed, our own revamped website uses most of these trends in the design; if you like the work of our expert web design team reach out to us at info@newvisiondigital.co.uk to get a quick price quotation for your specific web design requirements.

This update will only affect the search rankings on mobile devices.
Will affect search results in all global languages.
Applies to individual pages and not entire websites.

These are the points highlighted by Google on its official Webmaster Central Blog. Now let us understand how this will affect the SEO crowd.

It would not affect the search results on desktops and tablets. Thus, their page rankings would remain same on these devices. According to the Click-through marketing reports, only 40% of the websites failed to meet Google’s criteria for optimal user experience on smart phones, which is actually less than what Google’s analysts team suspected. This might be because “there were a load of websites that became MF [mobile-friendly] recently”, as said by Google Analyst Gary Illyes, on Friday, May 1st 2015.

Another great benefit for the Digital Marketing Industry is that this update only impacts individual pages and do not affect the full website. For example, if your website has 10 mobile friendly pages, the page rankings in mobile devices for the queries stated in these pages would be positively impacted, irrespective of the rest of the pages. Apart from the MF characteristic, there are still many signals used by Google to rank search results, one of them being quality content. That means your website would still be ranked higher if you have high quality content for the query made by the user, even if it is not mobile friendly.

Forget “Binary” Find “Multiple” Gender Options on Facebook

Facebook has come up with good news for its millions of users in the U.S. who will now no longer be bound to identify themselves as either “male” or “female”. Meaning, the social media giant has introduced 50 different terms that people can utilize to describe their gender orientation as well as their pronoun preferences: him, her or them.

The Facebook page now features a “custom” category where you can find options like “transgender”, “pangender”, “cisgender” and “two-spirit” to name a few. The list includes some terms which you are aware of and some which you have never heard. So, a person needs to have an idea what the term actually means before picking the most suitable definition of your true self. The change is greatly welcomed by the gender non conforming people throughout the US.

Facebook software engineer Brielle Harrison, who worked on the project and is herself undergoing gender transformation says, “There’s going to be a lot of people for whom this is going to mean nothing, but for the few it does impact, it means the world,” Harrison is also reported to have changed her Facebook identity to Transwoman. She also feels that 50+ unique options is a great opportunity to tell the world who you really are. However, it is also important to note that these gender choices have no correlation to sexual identity such as gay or lesbian. By allowing people to freely describe themselves as the way they want, Facebook is just trying to identify all the amazing types of people in the world and work towards equality and acceptance.

Google Plus offers male, female and “others” as options but Facebook puts the platform far ahead by allowing many unique choices for transgender community. This change is the outcome of consistent lobbying by thousands of US Facebook users who created individual changes petitioning for the change. Transgender activist Nori Herras-Castaneda said “We always talk about how gender is a spectrum. I can see a lot of people being extremely happy about this.”
