  • 1. Things You Should Consider Before Using Flat Web Design Flat web design trend has emerged during the last few years and has taken the world by a storm. The trio of typography, bright colors and flat interface has gained much momentum and popularity. Flat design has this unique feature of focussing on its content while emphasizing more on its usability.
