Y2K design 

The Y2K fashion era is back, and while Gen Z doesn’t understand the struggle of wet bell-bottom pants yet, part of this trend is making its way in the design world as well. As much as we might not want to see this, it gives us Britney Spears with Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan vibes, in a good way. 

The Y2K trend is all about mixing and matching, bright and bold colors, more unique design elements, and maybe even bubble letters again. 

The 2000s were part of a large movement in the website design and graphic industry’s change from earlier years that led to the modern, simplistic design that is known today. 

The nostalgic part of the Y2K design trend can be what is selling it on sites and social media. It is all about bringing back those memories. And these are some elements that should be added:

• Large, bold bubble fonts
• Memphis design patterns
• Retro gradient 
• Low poly CGI 
• Bolder, brighter, bigger, the better

While bubblegum pink might not be part of the branding, are there other ways that the Y2K style and feel could be implemented here and there? 

Hopefully, Gen Z understands the bell-bottom pain soon and we can get the Y2K fashion over with. 

JavaScript Frameworks 

In the development world, there are different coding languages used to code any website on the internet. One of the top programming languages out there is JavaScript. What are the frameworks that will be top-of-mind in 2022?

• ReactJS 
• AngularJS
• VueJS
• BackBoneJS 
• EmberJS
• Meteor.JS

While these are only a small portion of the website design and development trends emerging for this year, these are three important ones to consider.
