Thankfully, the evolution of web design passed over skeuomorphism and now is heading to a much simple and cleaner look, so more useless pixels, 3D buttons or heavy loaded content. Nowadays, the trend in web design and also in the overall design is getting down to basics. This means showing exactly what the viewer needs to see but in a mixture of minimalism and modern design.
This is called flat design and is getting widespread extremely fast in the design community because it’s being supported by important designers such as Jonathan Ive. The main features of flat design are solid colors, sharp lines, clean typography and clear images.

Using a flat design in your work will greatly enhance not only the usability but also the user experience because the user or the viewer won’t spend his time visually removing unnecessary details from your work. The presence of solid colors and sharp lines helps delimiting areas from your design, therefore you can divide various zones more easily. For example you can set the focus on the header while keeping the rest of the content in a secondary stage but without making it unnoticeable for the viewer.

Flat design is gorgeous and I think that every designer should adopt it. So, if you are looking for some flat design examples from which you can get some inspiration, then you should check out the examples below.
