What Web Development Trends Developers Should Know in 2021

Web development is one of the fastest evolving industries in the world today. What was widely used one day may suddenly be out of date the next.

Here are five new trends to keep an eye out for in the coming new year (2021).These are the trends that the top developers at a web development company will need to be aware of in order to create the best solutions for their clients.

Trend #1 – The Internet of Things (IoT)

It’s basically the interconnection of everyday objects through the Internet. The objects have computing devices embedded in them that allow them to send and receive data.

Objects can include cellphones, coffee makers, refrigerators, washing machines and various machines such as jet engines, manufacturing tools, oil drills and much, much more.

Gartner, an analyst firm, says that by 2021 there will be over 26 billion devices connected to the Internet.

In other words, the IoT is a giant network of connected things and as we move forward the new rule is going to be “anything that can be connected, will be connected.”

There are many benefits to this type of arrangement. For example, your car will instantly know the best way to get you to an important meeting or your alarm clock can notify your coffee maker to start brewing coffee as you get up.

Office equipment can identify when supplies are running low and reorder them for you.

The reality is that the IoT offers virtually endless opportunities and connections, many of which we can’t even think of or fully understand the impact of today.

The opportunities are there but there are also challenges. For example, security can be a big issue with IoT solutions.

We can help you better understand how to use the IoT to grow your profits as well as the many opportunities and challenges presented by more and more devices joining the IoT.

Trend #2 – Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The revolution is now under way …As more and more items become connected to the Internet and more and more data is generated, the only way for businesses to properly manage and monitor everything is going to be through automation.

More specifically, that automation is going to come from artificial intelligence. AI tools can deliver:

1. Automation

Repetitive business processes, whether on site or in the cloud, are automated allowing you to get more done in less time and with less staff.

2. Communication

AI can serve as a bridge between tools (and departments) that were previously unable to communicate effectively … allowing you to get business done much easier. Break down departmental silos!

3. Prevention 

 AI and machine learning can be used to spot trends and prevent issues.

4. Correlation

 AI and machine learning can be used to provide real-time correlation of information. Also, to categorize and route alerts to the right teams and assesses seriousness of risks.

5. Information

 AI can deliver highly accurate business analytic so that you can quickly determine how the business and various departments and teams are performing.

6. Resolution

 AI can be used to automate and resolve common alerts. Instead of being inundated with alerts, IT techs gain back valuable time and are able to much more productive.

Here are some more noteworthy AI features:

• Self-learning that leads to the automation of repetitive and unstructured processes
• Real-time analytics that provide unique insights into the business
• An easy-to-use interface – every employee can use it!
• Cross-departmental usage – it can be used in IT, HR, Finance and other departments
  … for example, to dramatically shorten on-boarding of new employees or to streamline bill payment!
• Highest level enterprise security
• Groundbreaking ability to automate system alerts according to best-practice workflows to ensure consistent and speedy results every time
• Event Storm reduction – storms that once required hands-on attention from engineers are now handled immediately, often before they cause any impact

Monitor the user experience and watches for faults and errors, such as applications not responding and allows technicians to quickly get to the root cause of an end point issue

Trend #3 – Static Website Generators

These new generators create websites using plain text stored in files not databases.

Example generators include Jekyll and these sites can offers some advantages such as increased speed, improved security, easier deployment and better handling of traffic surges.

The main drawback right now is that they have no real time content or user content – like user comments for example.

If content delivery networks and APIs grow and become more popular in the future making it easier for content and templates to be deployed then these static website generators may also experience wide popularity growth.

Trend #4 – Innovations in Website Design

The Internet is always moving, always evolving, especially when it comes to website design. Some design trends that are becoming more and more popular include:

• Larger and bolder type
• Increased use of video
• Increased use of movement-based interfaces, especially combined with libraries such as tracking.js – that means interfaces that respond to hand movements could be right around the corner!

Trend #5 – Increased Use of AMP

AMP, which stands for Accelerated Mobile Pages, accounted for 7 percent of all web traffic in 2017 for USA’s top publishers, according to a report from Adobe.

Expect that percentage to continue to rise in 2021. As Google has started giving more importance to mobile-friendly websites the use of AMP has continued to escalate.

AMP is designed to enhance the overall performance of web content and ads while improving website speed and user experience.
