Web design is the umbrella term for all the skills that are involved in the creation and the maintenance of a website. It includes both user interface(UI) design which is the design of the various elements in the website and user experience(UX) design which is where the user interaction with the website is designed to be as enjoyable as possible. However the web development industry is competitive, and the next generation of web design as they call it is already here.

What web 3.0 actually is

The most significant addition to the web 3.0 design is the addition of creative elements.

When used correctly, techniques taking the benefit of such shapes and blobs can highlight an important part of the website in a unique way.
