Web Design Trends: What's In, What's Out

Our honest list — including the trends we refuse to ship.

In: big editorial typography, real photography, motion that explains instead of decorates, and pages that load before the user doubts you.

Out: cursor gimmicks that fight the reader, AI-generated stock faces, and infinite hero carousels nobody swipes.

The pattern behind the lists: respect for attention. Every trend that survives makes a page easier to trust; every one that dies made it harder.
