Web design is undergoing a seismic shift, and most people in the industry aren’t ready for it. With AI now capable of building websites in minutes, the real challenge isn’t the technology itself but how it affects what makes a website successful. From my experience designing over 750 websites, I’ve identified five critical changes you need to know.
Firstly, the traditional “who we are, what we do” website is becoming obsolete. With 60% of Google searches ending without a click, thanks to AI summaries, your site must offer more than just information—it needs to provide an experience or tool that draws users in.
Secondly, the rise of AI-generated sites has led to design homogeneity. While these sites are clean and professional, they’re forgettable. The solution? Embrace human-made design with organic layouts, expressive typography, and real imagery to make your brand stand out.
These shifts are only the beginning. Make sure your website is ready to thrive in this new era.
