However, the tables can turn quickly with changing trends in the development industry.

There is one thing that never goes out of fashion and that is simplicity. Choosing a simple theme with big, bold and impactful content helps in conveying the message to the audience in a more subtle manner.

Here are some cookie points when we choose a simple theme:

• No flashy themes = Faster website speed
• No complex navigation
• Easy to understand User-Interface
• Multi-layer Menu is avoided

– Vertical and horizontal navigation or scrolling on the website makes it a breeze for the user. Avoiding the obstructions and glitches in the website is the key to a remarkable website. Why confuse the audience with faulty directions?

Flashy themes is the thing of the past. There was a time when the websites were considered the best when the things were fancy and trendy. Trend seems to change. A lot of it had already changed since 2015.

• Loading speed of the website drops terrifically.
• Annoying to the users and really too much!
• No one pays attention to these gimmicks.
• High consummation of internet data.

These factors ultimately lead to a short trip on your website by the user, which you definitely wouldn’t like.

Why not blend the right mix of animations backed up with simplicity? We are petty sure that a balanced mix of both will bring you the best of both worlds.

7. Secure your Website Data using Blockchain:

Blockchain is a high-tech and revolutionary technology being integrated into websites to secure the data. A website owner should primarily focus on keeping the user data secure and safe. This technology was launched in August 2011. Blockchain is primarily a wallet.

Here are some of the uses of this extreme technology:
