WEB DESIGN IN 2022

Designing for mobile is a must. Mobile users spend twice as much time on the Internet as desktop users. They aren’t just purchasing from their phone. They’re out in the world, on 3G networks, researching products and looking for deals. Recently Google rolled out its Speed Update to give faster mobile sites better SEO rankings.

Websites that load quickly and communicate swiftly are satisfying. They have lower bounce rates, a higher number of page views, and higher rates of conversions than their slower counterparts. Speed has a direct effect on a business’ bottom line, so simplicity will be more important than ever.

Simplicity is achieved by removing elements a site doesn’t need. As the world gets more crowded with information, simplicity stands out. Simple sites are often smaller, faster-loading, and offer a streamlined user experience. By delivering what the user needs and nothing more, a simple site can instill confidence, drive conversions, and look good.

Simplicity comes in many forms. Minimalism, flat design, pageless design, and brutalism are some of the ways simplicity will speed up sites in 2022.

SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING

SOCIAL MEDIA IN 2022

Social media is ever-changing. Be it new platforms, different consumption habits or varied forms of communication, social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp etc. are always coming up with innovative features or affordances that add different dimensions to the platforms. These changes not only help users engage in a number of different ways with their favourite brands online but also give marketers a chance to captivate their audiences through an array of tools and tactics.

It is vital for marketers to stay ahead of the game and keep themselves immersed in the latest social media marketing trends, as well as those in the future, so they can equip themselves with the technology and skills required to make the most of online platforms. Here’s what SHYDOG CREATIVE predicts are the top social media trends to watch out for, in 2020:

"With organic social media for brands slowly trending towards zero across all social media platforms, businesses in 2020 will have to focus on two things to be able to continue to be seen in the newsfeed of their fans and target audience: 1. Engage and build relationships with influencers and invest in a comprehensive and long-term influencer relations program, and 2. Invest exponentially more in newer content mediums such as Stories and live streaming, as well as more traditional visual content mediums such as photo and video. Brands need to move from a text-first approach to a visual-first mentality when communicating, and similar to how every business became a media company with the advent of social media, they now must transform themselves into a visual magazine if not a television station in order to continue to be heard by the audience that matters to them."
