Flat is
Sexy
Hot
Back.
Yup. We bitched and moaned until they allowed us to create gradients with CSS. Then we decided “meh, gradients are soo 2009″. Unless you’ve been away from the web design scene for the last year you’ve noticed all the flat designs popping up everywhere. A flat design doesn’t have gradients, shadows, etc (all the stuff that was exactly what was considered “hot” a year ago). One of the easiest ways to keep an eye on the latest web design trend is to take a look at what the latest WordPress theme designers are up to; they know what’s “hot”, and what’s “hot” sells.
