Negative Space
Minimalistic designs are becoming the latest trend in the Magento eCommerce development field and this trend will continue in the upcoming year as well. Long gone are those days when filling up the page with multiple texts and images were a trend. Today, the scenario is a lot different. Try not to make the page congested by adding too many elements to it. It is advisable to use the whitespace as a part of the page design, let the elements present on the page breathe a bit by keeping the background clear. More importantly, if the page is free of heavy elements, it can load faster that would make the visitors pleased.
Typography

According to some survey, depending on what the context is, texts can portray or convey any idea better than any image. Another benefit of typography is the pages can load faster.
Cinemagraphs
In 2018, you are probably going to see a lot of use of cinemagraphs. This is basically an amalgam of video and image. How does it work? Well, it takes the ease of use from the images and takes the motion feature from the video. Combining these two results in successful and effective cinemagraphs. Some might mistakenly think of them as GIFs, but that is not the thing. If you want, you can integrate such program into it that would make it run only when any particular action takes place such as scrolling. Such cinemagraphs can not only attract the viewer’s attention but can give the customers a 360-degree view of any particular product as well.

Other than all these, enhancing the mobile performance and offering the visitors a personalised experience is always effective to boost the business. Hence, it is advisable not to miss out these aspects while going for an online business.
