Flat web design is a huge trend at the moment. With the likes of Apple and Windows making huge influence on the trend itself. It’s allowing designers to go back to basics and think about how usable the design will be, how functionable a design can be. Nothing fancy but straight to the point. It’s also helping massively for responsive web design. Websites degrade beautifully with-out the awkward parts. Tablets and Mobile users do not have to have tiny fingers to press buttons. Big, bold and flat have helped this.

We won’t go too much into colour, but as you can see vibrant colour has been introduced into Flat design rather than greyscale all the time. You can see a few great Flat UI colours here.

Here we will show you 15+ of the very best Flat UI web designs on the web today.

We hope to inspire you to come up with your Windows-esque design.

We hope you enjoyed our round-up of Flat UI web design. It’s not always as simple as it looks but give it a good go and see what you come up with. Forms are especially the most fun. They are usually quite drab and dreary and very time consuming coding them up to look good. Flat design eradicates that and makes them very simple and a delight to fill in, everyones a winner.
