4 Web Development Trends For 2019
4 Web Development Trends For 2019
Since its establishment, the internet has continued to
evolve. In its early days, Mosaic and Netscape Navigator helped to democratize
it, and since then each New Year brought new concepts, new ideas and trends,
sometimes good, sometimes bad.
One of the lessons of all these years of change and new
trends is that in order to succeed, you often have to ride the wave of change
rather than just letting go. You can do this by exploring tomorrow's trends and
seeking to integrate those that may apply to you before everyone else does.
Here are eight web development trends that are expected to
have a major global impact on the industry in 2018.
Better online support
Being connected to its users is more important than ever.
Written or oral conversation software, allow a website to be contacted every
day, every hour, without having to maintain a customer service department
continuously. The evolution has given them new capabilities: they can answer
the most common questions, redirect customers to information or web pages, or
even help them complete a transaction. As consumers become accustomed to their
presence and ways of interacting with them, they will expect all sites to have
theirs.
Progressive Web Apps
A recent study on mobile phone usage showed that apps
accounted for 89% of the time spent on our smart phone. It would therefore be
logical that the use of a format similar to a mobile application is well
received by the general public.
The progressive web apps are applications that appear to the
user, in the same way that a phone app but are actually website pages. They
take advantage of the features of an internet browser, with a mobile
application interface. This technology has many advantages, such as the ability
to work offline, a load time almost zero (because much of the information is
stored in the cache of the phone), good reliability and the ability to receive
notifications. These progressive web apps can be designed faster than mobile
applications, work for all users, and are generally easier to deploy and
maintain, which are good for both the developer and the user.
Website notifications
Notifications are one of the best tools for mobile apps. The
ability to send information directly to an interested user soon proved to be
very popular in all areas, from traffic info to sports scores or promotional
sales. This type of communication also works with websites after the user
allows notifications. These benefits from greater customer involvement without
the added costs of creating a mobile app that replaces a website.
One-page websites
This tendency of websites of only one long page settled this
year, and should continue to extend. These sites are therefore composed of only
one very long page. To navigate it, it is simply scrolled, or links make us
descend or climb along the page to the desired section.
The biggest advantage of these sites is their simplicity.
There is no intricate navigation or endless menus to explore. And this concept
works very well on smart phones, where scrolling is the easiest navigation
mode. It is a modern solution to simple online needs, and very inexpensive to
develop and host.
