As an online retailer, our ultimate motive is to provide the best shopping experience to our customers and in doing so we leave no stone unturned.

We are more than half way into the first month of the year and if you haven't noticed it yet, 2014 is the year of going mobile. So you can expect to see a few redesigns here and there. And I know you are already confused whith what to do with the redesign, how to go about it, the current trends and what are the other people doing.

Well, in case you are still giving second thoughts to the whole redesign thingie then bite on this - this year mobile internet usage will pass desktop internet usage and mobile-based eCommerce might account for 30% of internet retail sales.

Still confused?

Even if you are, it's about time that you ditch the "if it's not broken, don't fix it" approach and instead redesign your website to support mobile. Here are a five web design trends you can try:

Happy reading!

1. Flat Design

If you are thinking what do I mean by flat design, you can find them all around the Windows 8 interface, the iOS 7 and many other popular websites.

The best thing about such design is that it focuses on colors and interesting fonts that make the website more appealing. At the same time, it also allows you to provide better shopping experience to your customers regardless of the device or the browser they are using.

Moreover, this also reduces the size of the files and thus the website loads faster in comparison to other.

2. More Content

In 2014, expect to see site designers and developers adding more content to individual pages in at least two ways.

Yes, you can expect to see more content on webpages this year and you can be do this in two ways:

a. Quick views - This would allow your customers to find additional information about the product they want to purchase, without actually leaving the product category page and loading additional pages.

b. Page size becoming longer like Pinterest and Tumblr.

3. Large graphics

If you are thinking you saw enough of the infographics last year then you are wrong, this year again there will be not some but a lot of graphics in and around the internet.

I know loading graphic takes time especially on the mobile device and then zooming in and out to read text can be annoying but with some good site development you can design graphics appropriate for different user device.

Moreover, large graphics are more appealing in comparison to boring content.

4. Finger Friendly Interfaces

As I have already mentioned this year the focus has shifted to mobile devices so make sure your website is finger friendly. Read more here.

5. Video and Other Rich Content

Facebook is doing it, many other social networks are doing it and so should you and belive me when I say your customers won't mind watching videos on your site but make sure that those videos are  related to your product.
