A Guide to Timeless and Trendy Backgrounds in Web Design

When creating a website, taking every detail into account is what makes one stand out. One essential feature of current websites is the awareness of the background as an important element of design. Whether it is white, textured, a bold color, or realistic image, it should have a purpose, and really fit the site´s purpose, product, service, or brand.

There are some characteristics that a functional background must have regardless of its style. First of all it should facilitate the readability of the site. That means it should not interfere in any way with the text. It should reinforce the message rather than obstruct its visibility. Second, even if it is a full-size photography, it has to be light so it doesn´t affect the website´s speed. And third, it has to be cohesive. It can have variations from one page to the next; however it is recommended that these variations are subtle so the website can still act as a whole.
