Web design trends for 2023
Tips 'n tricks about the web, digital trends, and online marketing
It is always exciting to look at the hot trends for the new year.
In this article, we share our predictions and expectations for the web design trends of 2023!
Personalisation
Personalisation is a growing trend in the digital world. It is more important than ever to tailor the user experience to each user's specific needs and preferences. This can be achieved by providing personalised recommendations, customising the interface or environment of your website or webshop, such as offering a custom colour or theme, or targeted content based on user interests.
There are countless ways to add personalisation to your website or webshop. For example, you can give users the choice to adjust the position of a button on mobile, so a left-handed person may prefer buttons placed on the left, while a right-handed person may prefer a button on the right.
User-generated content
User-generated content (UGC) is created by users themselves and includes different types of content, such as reviews, ratings, comments, photos, videos, social media posts and blog posts.
UGC is invaluable for any business because it can help promote your products or services. The fact that it comes from real people rather than the company itself makes it even more valuable. Moreover, the content stays up-to-date as users add new content.
We therefore recommend that you allow reviews and ratings on your website wherever possible, as this can be an important addition.
Gradients
Gradients, also known as colour gradients, add depth and dimension to the interface of your website or webshop, and can enhance your visual identity. It is a trendy and aesthetically pleasing technique that has been popular before, but is now back in a big way.
Colour gradients can create a subtle background, add a sense of movement and energy, highlight certain accents or make a striking statement. It is a handy tool that can be used in a variety of ways to enhance the visual appeal of your website or webshop.
Dark mode
More and more devices, including phones, tablets and computers, offer a dark mode setting. This converts an app's colour scheme to a dark background with light text. While this trend is automatically applied to apps, it is no less important for websites and online shops.
Giving visitors a choice between a light or dark display can improve the user experience. The dark mode can reduce eye strain and is useful in low-light conditions.

What our partners say
Kurt Habraken
Are you looking for a reliable partner to increase your online visibility, are you looking for a partner to get a website built? Wout and the colleagues at Funkhaus are a fine partner to start a project. At first, they listen carefully to what we wanted as customers. Based on this, Wout makes an offer, and after approval, they get to work. During the set-up period, there is frequent contact and consultation so that everything runs smoothly and the outcome is as the customer, us, expected. Even the after-service after delivery, which is invaluable after all, is super.
A fine partner to work with, who doesn't look down on any extra effort either. All this at a fair affordable cost makes absolutely super

The entire Eurowaste team would like to thank your team at Funkhaus for the smooth and professional cooperation. We currently have a fresh new website that works well. Thanks also for getting our 'socials' like LinkedIn in order.
Charlotte Lambrecht - Charlie's Fit Studio
Would you like to have a top website/logo developed?
Then you've come to the right place at Funkhaus!
What I myself find hugely important in a collaboration is good communication. Wout was always very quick in answering my questions and looking for solutions. Everything was always discussed in consultation and there was room for brainstorming and creativity. If something didn't feel 100% right, Wout provided several alternatives until the feeling was completely right. It was also an absolute bonus to receive such positive support as a start-up.
A very nice collaboration resulting in a top website. Go check it out at www.charliesfitstudio.be

I came to you via a good reference to provide my website for e-commerce. Wout thought along with me about the possibilities and offered an ideal solution, taking into account the budget.
Transparent, professional communication and a very high-quality delivery. Thank you for this!

Annelies Belsack
In our collaboration with Funkhaus, we took care of UNICHIR vzw's website.
Funkhaus was responsible for the web strategy and design, inspired by the new UNICHIR logo. They then technically elaborated this design into the brand new website.
DSC was responsible for the fundraising strategy and content.
They provided us with a handy custom WordPress template, allowing us to easily add content on the website ourselves. The template works very easily.
The job was completed to perfection. Their approach was structured and smooth.
Funkhaus is also very accessible for additional questions and goes that extra mile for its customers.
Your project is definitely in good hands with Funkhaus!
We are satisfied with the approach, the follow-up and, of course, the final result.
Thank you, Wout and the Funkhaus team, and we look forward to seeing you on the next project.
Hans Kenis
Very nice collaboration. Great input and ideas with a beautifully finished website as the end result!
