01. Use attractive Vibrant Colors. In earlier
days, we used to see plain graphics and images on
several websites, but never met with vibrant
colors as a base of any website. But now the
scenario has changed as Web Design Studios and
freelance web designers show some courage and try
vibrant colors to highlight their work or
something more important.

2018 will surely enhance their courageous
behavior and make their work supersaturated, more
vibrant, and highlighted. So, try something out
of the box, not so traditional and apart from web
safe colors to make your business stay separate
from the crowd.

Try to involve in experimental things such as

unique elements as per your own inception, but
not irritable ones please. They can make your
design appealing and interesting, if you
implement it right, otherwise you can ruin user
experience, which is the biggest reason, why
designers not accepting it and stay apart from
