2020 Web Design Design Trends
We’ve collected six of the top website design trends you can expect to see in 2020.
An online presence is essential for nearly every business, irrespective of size and type. Studies show that 97% of consumers research their purchases online before they buy something. Today, you can’t have a real web presence without a website. Even if you have accounts on social media sites, you still need your own high quality website and website traffic that you can convert into customers. This is particularly true if you have an eCommerce business.
Your website is often the first place a prospective customer visits to learn about your company or organization. A website helps you increase your brand presence online, where there are no geographical boundaries. And, when you implement email marketing strategies or become active on social media, you will want to send new website traffic to your own high quality website.
Custom web designs can do more for your business than any other digital marketing strategy. In fact, most digital marketing and traditional marketing initiatives will fail or be less effective if you don’t have a strong Internet presence with your own website and can’t convert website traffic into customers.
Your website contains all of the important information website visitors want to know about your business or organization, including who you are, what products or services you sell, contact information, your blog and other thought leadership, and much more. Stand out from the competition and make your brand look great with your unique web presence and stunning web page design.

A website is a collection of related web pages which are typically identified with a common domain name, which is also called a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) and published on at least one web server. Examples of websites include wikipedia.org, google.com, and crowdspring.com. All published and publicly accessible websites constitute the the Internet (also called the World Wide Web).
Many different strategies, techniques, and skills are involved in creating a powerful web page design. Web design involves assessing many elements and design features such as the layout, typography, graphics, colors, images, navigation, structure, search engine optimization, content, graphic design, social media links, text styles, interactive features, user experience, user interface, etc. Professional website designers understand how to create an appropriate balance between the required elements to create consistency, integrity, and a powerful design.
Your website must be unique to stand out and only professional website design can help you create a unique high quality website with design features that work great on a desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Professional web designers can craft a well-rounded corporate identity for your business and delivers your brand message to your audience.
And, importantly, creative web designs can help you improve your conversion rate as you increase website visitors, which will help you to build steady and sustainable growth in sales and revenue - something every e-Commerce business needs to do to survive and thrive. Digital marketing, including email marketing, will quickly fail without strong website designs. And, professionals know how to create user-friendly website designs that are both search engine optimized and that will build trust for your business and for the products or services you sell. This is important because trust is essential to create a stable and loyal customer base and convert website visitors into paying customers.
Smart marketers and business owners know that it’s impossible to visually stand out if your website looks like thousands of others because it was based on a generic template.
Every business or organization must have a well designed website. Website design is an integral part of doing business online.
Every company, entrepreneur, freelancer, and organization looking to build an audience of customers, clients, or followers or to launch digital marketing strategies or tactics needs a unique website to stand out.
An account on social media platforms isn’t enough. Without a well thought-out web page design, you will be unable to engage website visitors and convert them into customers and your email marketing campaigns will fall flat.
If you want a stunning new website, you have to understand how various design features, including colors, images, and fonts work together to create the perfect design. Color has a deep and often subconscious effect on our behavior. Color is often used to persuade or influence us. According to studies examining the effect of color on sales, over 92% of people surveyed say that color us the most important factor when purchasing products.
Bright colors are naturally at home on the web. Computer screens can deliver vibrant, saturated color more easily than print media ever could. And, color is one of the most powerful visual communication tools available.
The right color on your website can improve readership by 40% by making messaging easier to read and more visually appealing. In fact, color is one of the first things our brains perceive from a brand, so it’s often the first thing that pulls us in. Choosing the right colors and other design elements for a new website can make the difference between engaged viewers (and conversions!) or nasty high bounce rates.
You’ll find many free or low cost website builder and website builder software options that can create a generic website for you. But, online website builders offer only generic template designs that will make it impossible for your customers to fall in love with your unique company. To properly leverage those tools, you’ll need to hire a designer who can customize the design for you. Often, the customization costs many thousands of dollars and defeats the reason point to use the website builder in the first place.There is nothing premium or professional about generic web design, even if the website builders claim to use artificial intelligence to build those sites.
Sure, you might be able to use a free or low cost website builder and save a few dollars, but it will end up costing you much more when you struggle to build a strong brand.
Computers don’t understand human emotion or psychology. Real web designers understand how people think and how to create emotionally powerful brands.
The truth is that free or low cost website design is never free or cheap.
Don’t fall for statements that you can create a professionally designed website in seconds. This is not possible.
Look at the world’s most successful companies. Not a single one used a generic website builder to build their brand. That should tell you something...
You’ll either pay for professional web design up front with a small fee or suffer the inevitable consequences of bad design.
Website builders and their generic templates will not leave a lasting impression on your audience and will not give you a one-of-a-kind, professionally designed brand identity. Even if you can customize generic templates, you will get an uninspiring, non-professional, generic design.
Simply put: there’s nothing unique, custom or brilliant about websites when you make a website using generic templates offered by a website builder.

You and the designer you pick will be able to negotiate both the scope and the price for the project. When determining your award amount, please remember to price your project based on the scope of work. More labor-intensive projects deserve larger awards than very simple projects.

Design is one part of a completed website. To launch your website, you’ll need both design and web development.
Frontend developers focus on code that runs in the user’s browser, like HTML and CSS. Backend web developers focus on code that runs on the web server. For website designs, this can include databases and other complex systems like ecommerce integration. And, you may also need to build some web apps (we can help with the design of the web apps too) that accompany your website, depending on what you intend to do with your website design. You may also want to launch a blog and develop a content marketing strategy based on blog posts. Fortunately, there are many good marketing solutions, including terrific blogging tools like WordPress that can help you do that, seo tools that can help you rank your content in search engines, and analytics tools that can help you evaluate and measure your online presence.
Most entrepreneurs, businesses, agencies, and other organizations design a website in one of four ways: by running a design contest, hiring a design agency, working directly with a freelance website designer, or making their own website designs with an online website builder.
Each of these options has advantages and disadvantages.
Online website builders give you generic, template-based designs that looks like thousands of other designs. Agencies and freelancers can be very expensive (agencies typically charge $25,000+ for a completed website) and you get little choice.
Design contest are, for most, the best option for a custom website design because you set your own price and pick your favorite custom website design from among dozens of unique, custom website designs submitted by designers from all over the world. Web design contests provide a lot of flexibility and creativity.
Computers, even those that claim to use artificial intelligence, don’t understand how people think and give you generic, uninspiring templates. If you want professional website designs, work with real people - designers who understand human psychology, who know how to design a great user experience, and who can help you create a unique website for your company or organization.
Web design contests are simple, effective, and affordable. Here’s how website design contests work on crowdspring: tell us what you need (we walk you through an interactive Q&A customized for web design projects), work with dozens of talented professional web designers from around the world, and pick your favorite design. You’ll get full rights to the website design via a customized legal agreement, and all the files formats you’ll need to use your website design online. All protected by our 100 percent satisfaction guarantee.
A custom website design can take anywhere from several days to a few weeks. On crowdspring, web design projects can run from 1 to 7 days and you can always extend any project without cost if you need a little more time. Generally, the website design process should take no more than a week to finish.
You will get a professionally designed custom website design. Additionally, you’ll get industry-standard ready-to-go files that you can use online. And your project will be protected by a customized legal contract transferring the full legal rights to the design, to you.
Experienced freelancers typically charge $2,500 to $7,500 for custom website designs. Well known freelancers and small design studios will often charge $7,500 to $15,000 for custom web design. Mid-size agencies will typically charge $25,000 to $50,000+ for custom web design. And, if you don’t care about building a strong brand, you can get a generic, uninspiring website design from a online website builder or a designer willing to give you a template design for $5.

We guarantee that you’ll get a great website design from crowdspring at a a price you can afford. Our higher-priced packages give you more design options and more sophisticated designs. Remember that when you pay more, we offer a higher award to the winning designer. This motivates more people to participate and share their custom designs. And, at higher price points, we also include a dedicated account manager to help you through the whole process and keep a sharp eye on your project.
When selecting your web page pricing package, think about how much time you’ll have and your budget. And consider the features you’ll need. For example, certain packages include privacy bundles that include non-disclosure agreements, private galleries, and other privacy features. Other packages include collaboration and unlimited focus groups (polls).
But no matter what package you choose, we guarantee that you’ll get a web page design you’ll love. And if you’re still unsure about the right package for you, contact us for a free design consultation.
Yes. If you have specific images you want to use with your web page design (like your logo, product photos, or other images), please uploade them with your brief. You can do that at any time, including after you post your project.
And, unless you request otherwise, designers may use stock images (purchased from a third party) in your website design. If a designer uses stock art in a design, theyₑll tell you which images they used and how much they will cost to purchase if you want to use them in the actual design. Often, the images will be free so no additional payment will be required.
Designers agree to upload only original work, so each designer owns the rights to their designs until you choose your favorite web design. When you are in wrap-up, finalizing the design, you will receive a written legal contract, customized for your project, giving you the full legal rights, including copyright, to your winning web page design.
You can add non-disclosure agreements, search engine exclusion, private briefs, and more to every website design project. The best time to do this is when you first launch your project, but you can always add these features later too.
Non-disclosure agreements let you control who can participate in your project and what they can share. Search engine exclusion keeps your project out of search engines, while private briefs let you share confidential details only with the people you authorized to participate in your project.

Web design firms have different prices. It’s not unusual to find larger firms that charge tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Smaller firms usually have lower prices, but this can vary on the experience level of the firm. Freelance website designers usually charge less than firms. This can be because freelancers don’t have as much overhead to pay for as larger firms.
Keep in mind that designers prices vary with their skill level and experience. Design prices also can vary based on geography. As we've already noted, getting more than one quote from three or four vendors is a good strategy.
Price estimates are usually calculated two different ways: either on an hourly basis or as a set fee. Whether you get one or many quotes, make sure that you understand how you are being charged for the work. Even well-planned website designs can go over budget for unforeseen reasons.
Also keep in mind the price firms and designers give you are almost always estimates. They give you a price based on the information you provide at the start of the project. As the project progresses things can change, plans can evolve, and the work required can grow.
crowdspring offers a great solution for the potential uncertainty of what the cost for your web design will be. We let you set the budget ahead of time, and the cost you decide on is the cost it’ll be. Designers that submit web design entries to your project understand what your budget is ahead of time, and submit to your project accordingly.
