The color black is sexy, classy, cool and because of these and other connotations it’s become a favorite color of many designers. So it comes as no surprise that designers would use the color black as the theme for their design portfolio websites. Usually the color black is used as the background color, which creates the most impact. Also images, textures and other graphics blend very well into the color black, which makes it an even better choice as a background color.
In the world of gaming, websites play a HUGE part in promoting upcoming releases. They are the foundation of any game’s online presence and feature important news, release dates, cinematic trailers, game play footage and more.

Web design trends come and go, some stay around too long and there are a few that probably should have never existed. Many of the trends below could and can still be found on a variety of sites including personal sites, business sites and yes even web designer portfolio sites.

When creating website designs, its common for web designers to harness the power and natural beauty of mother nature. Using the sky in your designs can give a website a light, airy and fresh feeling.

While the White House has been around for many, many decades, the White House on the web is much younger. The Internet really started taking off in the early 1990’s and Its always amazing me to look back and see how far the Internet, technology and design has changed in a short amount of time. As a web designer I love studying website design trends and what better website to look at than whitehouse.gov!
