The arrival of smartphones, iPads and touch screens has had a significant influence on web design in the last couple of years.
We see a proliferation of new designs and technics that originated from mobile app design. This phenomenon has been referred to as the “Appification” of web. In the US alone, people spend more time on apps than on a website.
In the last decade we have seen how web design has moved away from heavy text-based websites to interactive, image-rich, video sharing applications. These applications engage the viewer more than web-based content.
The popularity effect of Pintrest, Instagram, Viddy and others has had a leading role on website layout. Even the older social networks such as Facebook have had to update their designs.
