Web Design Trends and Techniques

Web Design Review

Almost every morning here at ApogeeInvent we review website trends and techniques with our design team. Usually we review sites that other firms have designed, although occasionally we turn the spotlight on ourselves.

Moving forward we plan on putting our design review notes online so anyone who is interested can read about what we consider to be the DOs and DON'Ts of modern web design. Enjoy!

Site Reviewed: Cheetos

What we thought:
  • Logo: great logo bevel & gradient. 
  • Style:  nice header background texture, icons turn from 2D to 3D, which is quite eye catching.
  • Animation: flipping animation in top left is super nice and based in HTML5, not flash.

Site Reviewed: designB studios  http://www.designbstudios.com/webdesigns/


What we thought: 
  • Colors: nice wood texture with modern red/gray colors, radial gradient, top light source.
  • Style: slideshow is convoluted. the bottom of site feels unfinished, lacks a call-to-action.
  • Font: Doesn't entice reading due to lack of iconography and small text size.


Site Reviewed:  Truf Creative



What we thought: 
  • A real designer's type of design, reminiscent of a font magazine. 
  • Color choice: nice tan/red color combo. 
  • Style: distressed look works well, retro / mod style is ultra chic.
  • Font:  highly custom fonts.
