Grid-based designs are ever growing, responsive websites are becoming an expected norm, and even modular interfaces are becoming increasingly popular. These structures allow for focus on designing, clean structuring and improved work speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharpinnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/windows-8-modern.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-380 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sharpinnovations.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/windows-8-modern-300x168.jpg\" alt=\"windows-8-modern\" width=\"300\" height=\"168\" data-size=\"560x315\" \/> <\/a>But what actually is modular design? If you are familiar with Windows 8 Metro UI, you have a good conceptual starting point. Despite how you feel about Windows 8, they stand as a prime example for showing abundant content all at once and in a clean and easy to navigate fashion. Another place is the social media site Pinterest, that takes every \u201cpinned\u201d image, tosses it into its own box and then into its column. It allows them to easily add more content into boxes without worrying about how it may affect anything else.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some quality websites, using very contemporary uses of modular design:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/redelbautista.com\/\">http:\/\/redelbautista.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nationaltraveller.com\/\">http:\/\/nationaltraveller.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/irvingandco.com\/\">http:\/\/irvingandco.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The modular look can easily be very bold in appearance with some work to make it softer. Some will want to shy away from this thinking if it doesn&#8217;t fit their brand, which is true sometimes, but often it is a great way to cleanly lay out a lot of content, and really encourage the user to interact with the website! The more they interact, the more they enjoy your brand!<\/p>\n<p>If you have an interest in modular design, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sharpinnovations.com\/contact\/\">contact us<\/a> to pursue a website with this currently trending design theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2013 will likely be looked back on as a year where modular design became a popular solution for many websites.
