It’s almost February and love is in the air–love for the newest and hottest web design trends, that is! We’ve been bombarded with articles about new web design trends and we’ve pooled our resources to give you our top 3.

There’s a lot of hullabaloo going around about “the hamburger” icon (or 3 parallel lines) to indicate a hidden menu on mobile sites–and now even desktop sites. Icons and icon families have risen in popularity in recent years–to a degree where there is such an expansive variety to be found online, that you can really be as creative with them as you’d like.
