Today, web development provides solutions in almost all walks of life. The Netcraft survey shows that there are over 200 million active websites, and the total number of websites (active and inactive) is almost 10 times more. Even more surprising is the fact that more than 200 new websites are hosted every minute.
This speaks of intense competition on the Internet. One of the best ways to stay ahead of the game is to anticipate future web trends and use them in your web development.
The following are 10 trends in web development that will dominate in 2019:
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the key components of any digital development strategy. And as more and more companies struggle to implement digital transformation strategies, the role of artificial intelligence in web development will become even more important than ever before.
The AI industry continues to grow. Gartner estimates that by the end of the year, the industry’s total revenue will increase by 70%, reaching over $ 1.2 trillion. It was also estimated that in 2019 more than 40% of organizations in the world will use AI technology to increase productivity and meet customer needs. All these are clear signs that AI will become the leading trend in web development in 2019.
Single Page Applications (SPA)
SPA gained popularity this year. And since they are relatively easier to navigate, we can say that they are ready to increase their popularity. High speed and simplicity of application design are increasingly penetrating the hearts of web users. As the name implies, a one-page application is a long web page that eliminates complex navigation and complex menus. SPAs work fine on both PCs and mobile devices.
Blockchain
Bitcoin and many other cryptocurrencies dragged the blockchain technology into the mainstream. Based on a peer-to-peer network of computers that stores data using a distributed register, the technology ensures that the data will never be compromised. The blockchain technology is increasingly used in various industries.
Blockchain technology can simplify instant authentication of large transactions and supply chain management. Today, industrial heavyweights, including IBM, Microsoft and Amazon, are developing their own blockchain technology platforms.
Motion UI
Netizens are increasingly inclined to simple, but fascinating and interactive graphics on web pages. Web development companies are beginning to understand that ordinary Internet users need more attractive graphics on web pages. Static images and flash graphics go to the background, while the memorable user interface motion UI (moving graphics) has recently become increasingly popular.
The growing preference of web users to the intuitive user interface of Motion UI will boost its popularity in the coming years.
Fascinating design
For a long time, the main focus of web design has been on functionality and simplicity. However, there is a growing shift towards using more images, animations, and shapes in web design in an effort to meet the growing demands for brighter designs from web users.
