So, you’re here because you’re looking for some tips and advices on how to write the most popular articles? Sorry, you’re in the wrong place then. What we want to do now is to show you the most popular and most commented articles related to web design, and analyze what topics are of interest to web designers, developers, webmasters and bloggers.
Let’s say you’d like to know how to be a successful businessman. Which interview would you choose to read: an interview of Steve Jobs or an interview of some expert you’ve never heard of? As for us, we would prefer to learn from those who have already achieved success and have proven that their knowledge is really worth something. In short, we’d better show you the best articles in the niche rather than tell you how to write them.
When writing an article, you should remember that you can only guess if it’s going to be loved by the readers or not, but what you can do is keep an eye on popular web design blogs, read the most interesting articles and see what topics are trending. And of course, we hope the examples of the most successful articles featured below will also inspire you to create great content.
As you scroll down, you will find the most commented web design articles of 2013 and 2014. However, it should be mentioned that in the last few years the number of comments has decreased dramatically. For example, in 2011 an article could get 1390 comments like this jQuery plugin blog, while the most commented article of 2013 has got 289 comments, and the most commented article of 2014 has only got 187 comments.
A lot of factors would contribute to this, and we can only guess that there are more and more similar articles, similar topics and readers don’t find the topics being discussed interesting or useful. But who knows.
Still, there are articles that catch readers and you can see them below. Actually, we’ve made a list of 25 web design articles which got more than 100 comments. In other words, we’ve made a list of the most discussed articles.
Now, let’s take a closer look at these articles and see which topics generated interesting discussions.
Please note, there are no articles about giveaways or special offers on our list, but only news and informational articles that are aimed at web designers and other creative folks.
