Dark website design is becoming a trend nowadays. More and more web designers choose dark backgrounds for their work. The idea of dark websites is the concept of a dark style of websites with mainly dark background colors or dark background images. Both of them mean a website that has black or dark colors on the background and light or contrasting colors on text and headings.
Dark sites can have two purposes:
- To emphasize the content
- To make the website style artistic or minimal

Above all, dark color websites are a great choice to focus on the design and bright colors on text or images. However, this web design style is not suitable for every website. Usually, business websites with long texts are more acceptable in light background colors.
First, web designers need to learn about the company they are designing for. They should then create a project that is appealing to the company and their customers.
Even if the designers choose dark, light, or colorful sections, the result should reach the project goals. The use of Greatives themes ensures that each website is unique and visually appealing.
