So, in order to aid in easy navigation, sites will turn to fixed header bars in 2014. This design choice grew in popularity in 2014, and web experts expect to see it on more and more sites in the next year.&Acirc;&nbsp; Having a fixed header bar will keep the navigation at the top of the page no matter where you scroll &acirc;&euro;&ldquo; making it easy to browse and quickly access the menu when needed.

But, in the coming year, expect more infographics to take on a new dimension &acirc;&euro;&ldquo; interactivity. Interactive Infographics (like non-interactive infographics) will continue to allow for the visualization for a huge range of subjects. However, they will be manipulable by users, allowing them to choose what they see in the infographic, and delve deeper (or less deep) depending on how interested they are.
