Web design is not abstract art: it's applied psychology. In 2025, it's not enough for a website to be "beautiful". It must be intuitive, accessible, and, above all, it must guide the user towards action.
We analyzed the sites of the most innovative tech companies (Apple, Linear, Airbnb) and identified the 3 trends that will define the coming year. We're not talking about passing fads, but functional evolutions.
- The Dominance of "Bento Grids"
You know Apple's promotional slides? Or your iPhone dashboard? That's a Bento Grid.
What is it and why does it work?
Instead of a long boring page, content is divided into rectangular "boxes" of different sizes. It's brilliant because:
It's modular: Works perfectly on both desktop and mobile (boxes stack).
It's scannable: The human eye loves order. The user immediately understands the information hierarchy.
It's modern: Immediately gives a tech and organized look to your brand.
- Functional Micro-Interactions
We're not talking about animations that make your head spin. We're talking about visual feedback.
When you click "Pay", does the button turn green or show a spinner? When you hover over a card, does it lift slightly? These details tell the user's brain: "The system is alive and listening to you".
"A website without micro-interactions is like a handshake with a dead fish. It doesn't convey trust."
- "True" Dark Mode
In 2025, Dark Mode is no longer optional. 70% of developers and 40% of regular users use it by default.
But be careful: it's not enough to invert colors (white on black). A true Dark Mode uses:
Dark greys, not absolute blacks: Pure black (#000000) tires the eyes and creates "smearing" issues on OLED screens.
Desaturated colors: Bright colors on a dark background vibrate and are annoying. We calibrate them to be restful.
Conclusion: Is Your Site Ready for 2025?
Following trends doesn't mean copying. It means understanding how user expectations evolve and being ready.
An old site makes your company look old. A modern site tells the world you are cutting-edge.
