For the many years we have been thinking over the header, menus, side bars but time has brought in changes. The perfectly minimal design and quality images are always hero our website. Explain your content with an image, it will remind your website to the user.

Images and text : Text will explain your content, but image will remind your content. So, if you include some important content also use related images. Content is very important to SEO, at the same time more visitors also help to increase your web traffic.

Duotones : Create image under text and a transparent color. All time it not neccessary to use a related image, you can use a catchy image. For example the title is “We are Best! In Web Design”, in this case you can use your team members photo as background. The Duotones mainly helps in parallax views.

Colour,  is obviously a the trend setter at any giving time. It is seen that in old websites designers use only some black and grey combinations colors or single color. Next generation designers create like contrast and dual combination, that is if they use darker header then content will be lighter color of the same family and the color is seen repeating in the links, the title and the footer background.
