Flat Design

Green
Blue
Yellow

Almost Flat Design (Flat 2.0)
Almost flat is a newer alternative to the original flat design.
Almost flat acquires more depth, brighter colors, complex shadows, and dimension.
Shadows:
Material Design
Since we might have reached the peak of flat design (with almost flat), many designers are expected to go for Material Design (Designed by Google in 2014).
Material Design uses elements that remind us of paper and ink. In addition the elements have realistic shadows and hover effects.
Cards
Most typical cards are rectangles with an image and some text.
Cards have become a common structure for organizing headlines, images, and text on an equal plane.
Cards can be small or large, with or without pictures, and with or without shadows:

Mobile First
Historically, web designers have developed web applications for computers first, and then added responsive web design to make sure the web looks good when viewed on a tablet or a phone.
This trend is shifting towards designing for mobiles first, and then add responsive design to make a site work on desktops and laptops.
50/50 is an easy way to achieve web design for responsive webs. With 50/50 design, the screen can show two pages on large screens and one page on narrow screens.

A hero image is a large image, placed in the front of a web page. It often consists of both an image and some text, and it can be static or a rotating list of images.

Welcome to my Sailing Web
Sailing comprises wind propulsion of a craft by means of sails and steering it over water, ice or land, depending on the type of craft. A sailor manages the force of the wind on the sails by adjusting their angle with respect to the moving sailing craft and sometimes by adjusting the sail area. The force transmitted from the sails is resisted by forces from the hull, keel, and rudder of a sailing craft, by forces from skate runners for an iceboat, and by forces from wheels for a land sailing craft to allow steering a course on a point of sail with respect to the true wind. (Wikipedia)
Single Page
The web design trend shifts from regular clicking to vertical scrolling.
Scrolling allows users to see all the web content on the one page.
This single page technique has been used by social networks a long time, until somebody discovered that it suits other pages as well.
