JUST KEEP IT SIMPLE

In the late nineties, when Edward de Bono, who is deemed as father of Lateral Thinking, wrote about the power of simplicity, majority of our websites were in a clutter. Every possible space in the websites was filled with data, it was time when more was considered good and simplicity was considered naive.

But now in the connected world being simple is the next big phenomenon when it comes to UI design or User Experience. Majority of the websites and apps are moving towards a flat, simpler design.

Websites with clear navigation, zero clutter, sharp typography and logos are invading the web space in a huge way. In addition majority of the traditional websites who were successful are also adopting lighter version, where most of the unwanted features are stripped off just to have the basic workflows. The mobile version of many websites use this feature for a faster browsing and an easy navigation.

The concept of Simplicity has also grown in the app space in a big way. The recent viral sensation FlappyBird is a biggest example of what very simpler design can do.

These examples are just a beginning of a transition from a period where we use a technology to a timeline where we experience technology. The best way for companies to stay ahead now is to stay simple!!!
