You don't want your website to look outdated, right? Of course not - who would? That's why it is important to pay particular attention to the trends - but who in their right mind who spend hour upon hour going through the 200+ million active websites on the 'Net to find out?

Fantasy: Searches for "unicorn" were up 297% year over year, and searches for "mermaid" were up 145%.

New minimalism: Searches for "continuous line" were up 432% year over year, and searches for "neon circles" were up 387%. Space: Searches for "solar" were up 991% year over year, and searches for "astro" were up 671%.
