Thanks for the feedback Steph. We certainly weren’t trying to skew this article either way, it’s just in our research for the article these are the site we came across.

Great article and super rad examples to back up your opinion. I’m glad I stumbled across this – as I was too questioning the importance of design trends. As a web designer for the past 5-7years I have seen design trends come and go, and personally I don’t think I have ever followed them, unless the client has asked for something specific. Some may argue design trends help the end user recognize important UI elements on the page eg “The hamburger menu” – but are users really that dumb we need to make everything the same so they understand THIS IS A MENU?
I agree useability is key to the success of any website – but I also agree this can be conveyed in a way that isn’t the same as every other website following a design trend. I am all for creativity, and exploring your own style that can be seen throughout each design. I think I’m going to write my next blog post about ‘sticking the middle finger to design trends’ – thanks for the inspiration!
