No Chrome Effect
A few years from now,
people use to chrome the front and rear embellishments of the cars to
make it look more beautiful and attractive. But the term Chrome used
in the web world relates to the website designs. There are several
websites in the market, which is created based on the No Chrome
effect, which means instead of providing all the menu links on the
home page, the user is attracted to one single focal point. The No
Chrome Effect eliminates the distractions and gives a clean effect by
which the menus are inconspicuously placed on the page. The focus
page will have no header or footer which can pull the eye from the
focus area.

Design
Ghost buttons are one
of the most famous and widely used in web design. It is stylish and
simple to create, and it can also be combined with animations
enhanced features. Observing the wide use of ghost buttons, this
concept will last longer in future also.
Tiles like Grid
Designs
In this type of web
design, the page is divided into various same sized blocks in which
elements with equal importance or different sizes can be displayed.
This layout is also commonly known as the Card layout or Block
design. This layout helps in providing maximum information to the
user at the same time. Instead of providing one message on one
screen, you have the flexibility to provide major four to five blocks
to give your message. Most of the social networking sites and media
giants have already utilized this concept to connect their users.
Promoting Dual
Concepts
For the companies
which have two different product lines or dual business line, using
the split screen design is very useful. In this layout, the screen is
vertically divided into two and two ideas, business concepts,
elements, or messages can be displayed. It is highly suitable for
business which has two things to promote and give same importance to
both the product/services. In fact, companies can also keep the
images of the product on one side and run media coverage, brand
identity, customer testimonials, etc. on the other part. It is an
ideal web layout for clothing or garments business with scrolling
images.

web designs that we have researched and learnt from our experience.
