Webdesign after diet!
Hi my design folks, followers, haters :) First as you can see on the dribbble lot of kickass designers started to more nd more focus on that clean "metro style" (name is after code name of windows mobile 7 UI).
Web after diet = metro style
I know you hate to read those long articles i will take it shortly for you! Metro style web, there is really huge big gigantic attetion to the content the main goal of this style is "user will not get lost and he will find exactly what he looking for". What that means? Anything should not disturb him! So you know the goal, but how to achieve it?!
- Hole layout concept - Give the main focus on the content!
- Layer/ color overlay - pay attetion on the sexy color theme (use adobe kuler)
- Right font - the main is the content (text, pictures,movie), so you have to use the really lovely font. Defaul MS metro font is Segoe family font.
- Interaction/animation - hole metro concept is workin with high number of the interactions try to implement some of them even on the web - but remember implement only those that user will have real benefit!
- Make it responsive!
Bla bla show us example
Here is really small comparation between non metro style (i call it hardcore style) and the metro style button. Hopefully you will find out the difference. I dont say its only about the layer style but its the first factor you will notice.
