In a way, I think it is. You shouldn’t really follow trends all the time. But you should try to stay away from trends that have long died. Say.. grunge. It used to be a really big hit in the internet, but people are now leaning into minimalist and subtly textured designs. Some people still use it, but not as much.
Flash websites were also a big trend before. It’s not mobile-device-friendly though, so people are resorting to HTML5 and CSS3 with the help of jQuery to do the same effects that Flash can do.
