This article brings up some of the major revolutionising trends in the domain of web development that every web development company must follow to stay relevant and updated in the web front.

Web technology has been evolving consistently with many new concepts coming and many dissolving. However, what’s keep up the spark of revolution is the constant urge by businesses to adapt and change to the new development trends. So, the most crucial lesson learned in all these years is that success depends on riding the wave of change instead of following it in its wake. Businesses to beat their competition need to discover the trends of tomorrow, explore and apply them before anyone else do that.

Speaking of the trends, here are some of the most awakening ones in the realm of web development that is going to widely change the future landscape of websites, applications and digital solutions.

#1 Online interactions with Chatbots

Chatbots entered into the top trends of 2018 because of the growing prospects in AI (Artificial intelligence). This foretells that chatbots will be revolutionising online interactions offering a human-like experience to the users. Chatbots are typically a computer programming that is based on machine learning and help people get quick solutions for completing typical tasks or resolve any queries.

#2 PWA (Progressive Web Apps)

PWAs will be a crucial concept in modern web development that is based only on extensive adoption of HTML5. While PWAs work on internet browser and that too of a mobile interface, they are capable of providing a seamless experience as that of native apps. Besides, PWAs have other advantages too, like offline viability, no load time and notifications feature.

#3 Single page websites and applications

One page applications or websites are pro-level web solutions with just one (long) page that is easy to navigate and scroll up and down to reach the desired section. They load all the content in a single web page through JS and do not need any extra time for reloads. Thus, one-page applications keep users utterly in a comfort zone by displaying all content in a straightforward manner.

#4 Motion UI

This trend is no more a distant dream, especially after Motion UI Sass library came to the forefront. Web developers can animate the user-interface of websites or apps just in a flick with ready-made effects from the CSS file of the packaged library and by creating own animations using the Sass files. Thus, Motion UI opens up huge opportunities for web creators or owners to customise a site to make them more functional and appealing.

#5 Static websites

A static website is the most basic with every page coded with HTML and puts the same static content on display to every browser, every device or user. So, what’s making it still trending on the list? Simplicity! And yes, it’s way more cheap from the perspective of development. While it’s not at all expensive to invest in static websites, owners can make them much more exciting to visitors by putting up more content and prevent them to be a boring one.

Well, that was all about the potential trends that are playing their part in transforming and pacing up web development at present. There are lots more to add to the list like VR/AR, Real-time Web apps, push notifications, accelerated mobile pages. However, they have a long way to go.
