Gradients play an essential role in web design. There are many different possibilities of gradients that you can use, such as linear or radial. You can use a wide variety of shades and colors to add interest and depth.

Gradients are very important to making your website unique and attractive. No matter how you choose to do your gradients, it will make your website stand out amongst all the other websites.

Consider using the CSS gradients instead of a background image, because using a background image can be difficult. Even though it is difficult, it can still be done while you are integrating responsive design in your CSS.

The use of gradients has greatly increased among website designers in the last few years. This is because it has never been easier to use the CSS3 styling attributes. This allows almost anyone to be able to add gradients to their website.

Gradients also provide a great visual appeal to your site. However, it is important to remember to use your gradients within reason and not go too overboard with their use.

In this article you will see a showcase of websites who use gradients in their website design, mostly in their background.
