In the current era of constant changes in web design, we have to ask ourselves where our industry is heading. Like ancient philosophers, we need to navigate the route of challenges posed by the perpetual flow of new technologies and approaches.

Mark-makers* in search of answers attended OxonDigital5, a digital marketing networking event. In a room bursting with ideas and passion we discussed the state of web design and the impact of key trends. Thanks to great presentations from Maria Robertson and Simon Lassam, our collective focus was on addressing and adapting our websites to the needs of our clients.

As mobile usage grows, creating mobile optimised websites has become a must. But the new trends, like responsive design, are causing headaches for designers trying to deliver effectives websites, whilst managing the additional cost element.

We are looking forward to seeing the future of responsive web design development and of course, the next meeting at OxonDigital.
