Design Hey

Web Application is a new model of software development, you can consider it as migrating software to internet. With this new model, you don’t need a platform, like Windows; or installation to use a software. The software becomes more like an online service, that’s why we call web application model as SaaS(Software-as-a-Service). Web application development is getting more and more popular these days, we’ll take a look at new trends of web application interface design on this post.

Modal Windows

Modal windows are common element on web applications. You can find it as Log in Window, Image Slider and so on. Since most modal windows aren’t as easy to distinguish from the main content as in desktop applications, shadows help them to appear closer to readers, because the window appears to be three-dimensional and lay above the rest of the page.

Simplicity VS Functionality

Simplicity is important in user interface design, but you don’t want to limit the app’s functionality. One way of making things simpler is to hide or conceal advanced functionality. Find out the most commonly used functions of your interface and tuck away the rest. You can do this with pop-up menus and controls.

Choose right interface controls

It’s important to select the right interface controls for the situation. Different situations can be handled in different ways. For example, you can select a date by using drop-down lists for day, month and year. Drop-downs aren’t very efficient, however, when compared to a calendar picker, where you can click directly on a day you want.
