Every year brings up new innovations and upgraded technologies, that build pressure on the web developers, such that they need to keep up with the changing trends and learn those new technologies, in order to provide their clients with better services and to be in the business.
Last year too, we saw new developments and cutting-edge concepts, in the web development industry, that brought advancement and reformed the way web development companies work. This year too, we envision many positive changes that may take place and push the web development industry forward in 2019.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Although AI has already paved its way into the web development industry, still there is a lot for AI to do in the same field. There are chatbots, self-learning algorithms, AI virtual assistants, etc., that have already been introduced as the part of AI, to ease out the process of web development. In 2019 too, we can see more web development companies utilising AI to enhance their workability.
Motion UI: For a website, the design has to be on point, but if the website is not able to serve the purpose, even the best looking design can lose its worth. The motion UI not only gives a better user experience but also, helps the users to look for the required information, with ease. The better the UI, the better the user engagement. So in 2019, you might see people use more eye-catchy graphics and intuitive motion UI in their website design.
Chatbots: The most useful asset that AI has given to the web design and development industry is the Chatbot. The Chatbots are really helpful when you do not want your site visitor to wait much for the assistance. Those Chatbots are capable enough to handle a basic conversation on their own, and they truly, learn more by experience. In 2019, you may see more Chatbot integrations to most of the websites.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs): Even though the Apps is the last word of acronym PWA, it isn’t exactly the app. PWA is actually a type of website, that looks like any other web app, and is faster in its loading time, unlike the usual websites. PWA is specially built to fit into all the screen sizes, such that the users can use it at any place independent of the device they are using. PWA eliminates the need to install an app, saving the phone space, such that it, itself, appears like one, providing the user with a better user experience.
Single Page Application: The Single Page Application or SPA is nothing but a lesser intricated, single and longer web page, that avoids the need to navigate through multiple web pages and menus, to find a single piece of information. SPA renders improved performance and speed, that is the reason behind its popularity.
Push Notifications: Most of us have been tired of the unwanted emails and newsletters stuffed into our mailboxes, and the pain it causes when we have to select, delete and unsubscribe them. But now as push notifications have come into being, these are slowly replacing the old email newsletters, as these are more manageable for the website owners as well as for the users. The other prime reason is that these do not occupy much of space and the user gets notified about all the newly published content, special offers, and personalized promotions, quickly.
Blockchain Technology: Even having seen a huge price drop, people are still as much interested in Bitcoin, as they were at the beginning of it. The popularity of Bitcoin has brought the Blockchain technology into the mainstream. The security this distributed ledger provides to the data has made this technology grow so successful. Major tech giants have already built their own Blockchain platforms, and in 2019, we might see an increase in the number of its users.
Cybersecurity: Last year, tech giants like Facebook and Google had to face some serious data leak allegations, some of which, they still have to testify for. People have their data stored on various websites, so the data security on these websites has become the major concern. Most of the big companies are already prepared with their data security programs, and some are still in process of building one. The year 2019, is not going to be any different from the previous ones, as cybersecurity will be a prime issue in this year, too.
Change is the law of nature, and the same goes for technologies like web development. So far, those changes have enhanced the workability of the web developers, and we look forward to the progression those new technologies will bring into the same, in 2019.
