2023 UX/UI Design Trends

Time for some predictions to help us plan next year goals

It is that special time of the year when we start to plan the future goals. Just like every year, let me present you some predictions, based on present observations, on what may be a hot thing in 2023. Thanks to this I hope you will be able to adjust your goals better.

Which predictions worked?

Last year I also wrote down some upcoming trends. Feel free to check 2022 UX/UI Design Trends article for reference. Here is the brief summary of which prediction happened:

• No Code will become a standard — confirmed. I think that we may say that no code has become very popular in 2022, but with recent Framer updates, it was finally much easier to dive into that area. I will write what will happen in 2023 for no code.
• Glassmorphism is a new standard (not the trend anymore) — confirmed, no doubts about that. We see it in operating systems. We see it on mobile and on websites too.
• 90s style — a new trend? — partially confirmed. It didn’t become a significant trend, but one of the popular styles for sure. But some major platforms (like Gumroad or Medium), followed this kind of visual treatment.
• Interactive prototypes — confirmed. In 2022 Figma introduced new features, like spring animations, that allow us to make even more interactive prototypes. If you are looking for more interactive elements, in 2022, Protopie introduced some cool changes and prepared a free plan to make it easier to start prototyping!

A pretty good number of confirmed predictions, isn’t it? Cool, now let’s deduct what will happen next!

What design trends to expect in 2023

Time to imagine what will be a hot trend in 2023. Let’s begin with more tech-related aspects and then dive into visual design.

No-code — battle of titans

Designing for no-code still seems to be fresh, and there is a lot to happen in this area. For 2023 I suppose to be a battleground of two excellent platforms.
