Web Design: 2022 Trends

2022 is a year of both consolidation and innovation for corporate web design in Switzerland. As digitalisation continues to advance, websites are no longer just an online showcase: they are essential tools for attracting customers, communicating professionalism and improving conversions. Updating your website’s design means staying competitive, following UX/UI best practice and offering a quality user experience.
UX and user experience trends
User experience (UX) is at the heart of every web project. In 2022, SMEs need to consider:
- Simple, intuitive navigation
- Clear buttons and calls to action
- Reduced loading times
- A responsive layout for all devices
The goal is to make sure every visitor can find information and complete actions quickly and easily.
Mobile-first design
With more than 60% of web traffic coming from smartphones, mobile-first design is no longer optional. Your website needs to be optimised for:
- Small screens and touch input
- Fast loading
- One-handed navigation
- An adaptive layout that keeps things readable and visually appealing
Colour, typography and branding
Companies need to choose a colour palette that matches their identity, along with readable typography. In 2022, the dominant choices are:
- Saturated colours and sharp contrasts
- Modern fonts that are legible on mobile too
- Optional dark mode to reduce eye strain
- Consistent branding across every page
These choices help make the brand more recognisable and improve the user experience.
Animation and micro-interactions
Micro-animations make a website feel more dynamic and help guide the user:
- Hover effects on buttons and links
- Progressive content loading
- Visual feedback for completed actions
Used in moderation, they boost engagement without slowing the site down.
Accessibility and inclusivity
A modern website needs to respect accessibility principles:
- Text that is readable for people with visual impairments
- Sufficient contrast between text and background
- Keyboard navigation
- Screen reader support
Accessibility helps avoid legal issues and widens the audience who can use the site.
SEO and performance built into the design
Beyond aesthetics, web design needs to incorporate SEO best practice:
- A clear H1/H2/H3 structure
- Images optimised for file size and alt text
- Loading speed
- A clear URL structure
Modern design supports search engine rankings and improves conversions.
