As part of the other projects that I have, I also undertake web-site design for clients (not just as part of larger projects).
I've had a few clients interested in a new website, but I havne't managed to capture their imagination with any of the designs that they have so far seen.
2013 seems to be the year of the Large Photo Background. People love minimal websites, they're easy to navigate and have very little content for the users to update (and believe me, users hate providing and udpate content!).
I made a few didferent mock-ups using Large Photo Background and bam, caught.
Certainly seems to be a trend that people are loving at the moment. Below are a few of my favourite websites out there suing this trend (working 25/02/2013):

Decorating and Architecture - what more do you need to show off these skills than some amazing photos? This type of website certainly seems to lend itself to this indsutry sector and get the most out of what they do.

Travel - we go places to see and experience them, so full photo websites will naturally be the perfect way of showing people what's there. I love the dull cityscape shown, it gives it real feeling.

Art - galleries are all about displaying art, so why shouldn't our websites be an extension of this? This is another one of those sectors that this type of web-design was born for.

Design - Show off your companies items in full-page glory!
Closing Words
Great you say, these are (nearly) all high-end company/designer websites. Yes, they are - but this trend lends itself to even the smallest of small clients in rural areas. I have one in a remote village, they do boring things. Nothing exciting can get taken from what they do, but their office is in a glorious small village surrounded by fields. Green Fields. Endless Green Fields with a blue sky. That for me, was inspiration as it's best - so you can now guess what it looks like.
Large scale photos, minimal information but something to keep people interested.
Bah bah bah dah dah... i'm loving it
