After being a web developer, it's clear that knowing how to code is not enough! But you have to update yourself with the latest trends in web development. Knowing current trends not only helps you develop web applications but is also revolutionizing the way websites are developed.
According to an Adobe study, 59% of clients need extraordinary websites that use the latest technologies, while 41% of clients want minimalistic websites. To build incredible websites, you need to stay up to date with the latest technologies and trends to create robust web applications.
So, let’s go deep down into what are the ongoing trends in web development;
1. Headless CMS
- Now, clients are choosing headless CMS instead of monolithic CMS because it provides flexibility, seamless experience, and enhanced security in web application development.
- Headless CMS allows developers to build custom websites using their preferred front-end frameworks and technologies without decreasing the experience of web applications.
- There are many headless CMS platforms, including Strapi, Sanity, Contentful, Directus, and many more.
2. Progressive Web Apps(PWA)
- PWA gained high popularity in the market due to its high-quality user experience and replaced native mobile apps on the web.
- The PWA offers both web and mobile app experience without the need to install both apps from different distribution platforms.
- It offers seamless integration, offline work, fast work, storage and power saving, seamless updating and maintenance, and more. Here are a few examples of PWA: Twitter lite, Pinterest, Spotify, Telegram and many more.
3. Single-Page Applications (SPAs)
- SPA is one of the most current trends in web development. It contains a single page that is loaded initially and after updating dynamic content on the same page.
- It supports offline, enhances speed, reduces server load time, and faster content delivery, responsiveness, easy navigation, and many more.
- Several frameworks are used to build SPAs, such as React, Angular, VueJS, NextJs, and many more.
4. Micro Frontends
- Micro Frontends are inspired by Microservices. Using micro frontend techniques, developers can create smaller independent components that can be developed, tested, and deployed independently from each team.
- It allows developers to develop feature-rich, seamless, complex, single-page applications without any hassle.
- Using this technique, developers can choose different tech stacks, which offer flexibility and better management for large databases; each team can work on its components without interfering with each other.
5. No-Code/Low-Code Development Platform
- Suppose anyone wants to develop web applications without coding. So, no code development platform is the best choice. It provides drag-and-drop features to create web user interfaces.
- It offers faster development and reduces costs, and even non-technical people can create and manage their websites.
- Here are some examples of no-code development platforms: Nintex and Outsystems, Bubble, Zapier, and many more. Low code development platforms such as Zoho Creator, Quickbase, AppSheet, and many more.
Staying updated with the latest trends and technologies is essential for every developer to create seamless and robust web applications for end clients. The above trends are not enough to keep you updated. There are other trends, too, such as AI/ML integration, Voice search optimization, Motion UI, Serverless computing, Serverless architecture, Jamstack architecture, dark mode UI, API-first development, and many more.
