Web design trends tend to be informed by movements within the larger world of design, and ever-evolving technologies. For 2021, though, Editor X’s Shaping Design publication envisages a web that responds to the huge changes in how we work, shop and interact with each other.
The report features over 40 websites that champion exceptional and innovative digital design, grouping them into 10 must-know trend. Together, the themes and aesthetics that emerge tell the story of the zeitgeist and celebrate online creativity.

One such interesting trend is the online shift of more and more aspects of our lives. While we might all be staying in right now, web designers are making up for what we're missing IRL by crafting immersive digital experiences.
A second trend mentioned on the Editor X report has to do with our faces. We've grown accustomed to seeing our own faces staring back at us in virtual calls. In 2021, designers will be taking this even further, making us the stars of our web experiences.
Alongside the interactive trend report, Shaping Design is packed with the latest insights, ideas and inspiration from throughout the design world. With a focus on web design and UX/UI, it offers plenty of opinions and career advice to help you make your way in digital design.
