It’s manageable, but figuring out what you need to do takes a millisecond longer than it ought to – which means that from a UX perspective, it’s a fail. Speaking of which….to get to the threads, you need to click on that tiny hamburger menu up there in the corner. While the homepage looks nice, it’s near impossible to tell what it actually sells. We’re also seeing it being overused in the wrong places. Minimalist website design is achingly cool when done right, but all too often, it’s overdone to the point that the user just has no idea what to do, where to go, or what the website is even about.

If the design makes things harder for the user, then it’s a thumbs down. Some of the worst trends of 2021 so farĪs with all things to do with style, what we think looks good is subjective – but when it comes to web design, there’s one guiding principle behind something flying or flopping – and that’s UX. The White House (opens in new tab) added dark mode as an option to its site in 2021. Technically speaking, this was a trend that began a couple of years ago on social media, but now we’re really seeing it really come into its own as designers embrace the dark as a striking backdrop to make images pop.
