Introduction to the remote work trend
Remote work has transformed the professional landscape. As businesses adjust to this digital-first approach, it is reshaping the very essence of design, making it vital to understand these shifts.
The shift in design requirements
With most employees working from distant locations, businesses are becoming more reliant on digital platforms, particularly e-commerce. This has led to:
- Greater emphasis on brand identity: In a crowded digital marketplace, having a distinctive brand identity helps stand out.
- Demand for more online store designs: With an influx of businesses going online, the demand for e-commerce store designs has skyrocketed.
- Need for adaptive designs: A design that looks good on a desktop might not resonate on a mobile device, thus adaptability is key.
