Icons have taken a huge place in the website market. Developers take more advantage in making their design more eye catchy.

The size of the image is small so it helps to load into the website faster and above that, it supports all the browsers.

Websites now being responsive, the web pages are broken into smaller parts called Card Layout. Each card/the constituent part of the page will have information viz. title, an image, certain icons etc. There might contain a short note/product information. N number of websites have digested the card-based layout. Not just websites, eCommerce has also adopted the idea of card layouts. You will see a lot of BigCommerce themes with such layouts and it also helps a lot with CTR.

This helps you in communicating the stories faster. No matter what is the screen size of the mobile, the layout will work perfectly.
