Current Trends in Web Application Development
The web is constantly changing and evolving. And as new technologies arrive, old ones are retired or improved. It is very important to be aware of the latest developments and apply it in your projects. Here is a summary of the current trending technology in this field:
Progressive Web App
These are basically web apps or websites that look like mobile apps, especially when it comes to functionality and design. It is a combination of web browser and native mobile app features to give the user an app-like experience, which explains its growing popularity. The PWA was proposed by Google a few years ago and has several benefits. Some of which are instant upload, push notification and increased conversions, and the ability to add the PWA app to the user’s home screen.
The rise of chatbots
The customer is king, the customer is always right! There are enough aphorisms to show how valuable and important the customer is. Companies are always looking to improve customer service and keep customers happy. With chatbots, they can do that 24/7/365. These chatbots can answer common queries, direct users to the right information, and even schedule appointments, among other tasks. So it is a very useful and efficient feature to have.
Importance of Motion UI
A website should be simple, easy to navigate, and most importantly, intuitive. This is where the motion UI, originally popular for mobile apps, comes into play. By using this, you can create a well-designed and functional site. This is achieved through the use of animations, scrolls, headers, and transitions, among others, to differentiate your website from your competitors.
Blockchain technology
The buzzword today is blockchain. You can associate it with cryptocurrencies. But basically, it allows for collective data storage and information that is spread across thousands of computers around the world. This means that it would be almost impossible to destroy or hack a blockchain and the data is public and available to anyone who needs it. It can be used for decentralized file storage, supply chain auditing, and more. This technology is booming and finds many applications in web development.
Single Page Websites
Our attention spans are low. There is too much going on, too many things demanding our attention. Given the circumstances, it is not surprising that the new trend in websites requires them to be single page. This means you’ll find everything you need on a single page that’s easily navigable of course! You can get to different parts of the page by scrolling or clicking on the links. These types of websites work well on mobile devices. In addition, the cost of development, design and hosting is kept low due to the simplicity of the design.
Change is constant, and this is especially true in the world of Web development. It becomes imperative that companies take the initiative and stay current.
