As is the case with any market, trends in Web design and mobile development are constantly evolving and adapting to advancements. In this post, we will focus on some of the trending topics that are currently being discussed and implemented by a few innovative businesses around the world. By understanding these trends, you could easily adapt to them and apply them to your business in order to stay relevant and become an industry leader.

1. Voice User Interface (VUI)


Voice User Interface (VUI), or voice-enabled apps and websites, is the next step in the evolution of user interfaces. It's already on its way to becoming mainstream, with more than 60% of consumers saying they want to be able to talk to their devices.


If you're not sure how this will affect your business, consider that Amazon Alexa is one of the most popular digital assistants out there. In fact, according to research by The Verge, 25 percent of US households have at least one Alexa device! Imagine what could happen if you were able to create voice-enabled apps that help people get things done faster?


It's still early days for VUI but it has massive potential—consider what happened when we moved from text messaging with SMSes to using emojis!


2. Motion UI


Motion UI is a Sass library for creating custom CSS transitions and animations. It is used by many websites and applications, including Twitter, Squarespace and Medium. It can be implemented in two ways: CSS or JavaScript. The advantages of Motion UI are that it’s easy to learn, fast to use and doesn't require you to write code by hand (making it great for web designers who want to create interactive experiences without having to write code).


3. Push notifications


Push notifications are an important part of user engagement. They're messages or alerts sent by your app to the user even when it isn't in use. Push notifications look like SMS text messages and mobile alerts, but they only reach users who have installed your app.


How can push notifications help you?


Push notifications are a great way to let your users know about new content on your website or app, offer exclusive deals, or simply stay in touch with them.


4. Chatbots


Chatbots are here to stay, and they're not just for customer support. In fact, chatbot technology is becoming increasingly integrated into the entire digital experience of a brand or business. Chatbots will be able to help you with customer support, sales, and even marketing. With AI-powered chatbots that can understand human language and respond appropriately (or at least convincingly), customers will be able to find the information they need faster and more efficiently than ever before.


5. Data visualization


The visual representation of data is powerful. Data visualization is the presentation of data in a pictorial or graphical format. It has become increasingly popular with businesses as it helps them to analyze and make informed decisions.


Businesses are always looking for ways to maximize their profits, and one way they can do this is by using data visualization tools. These tools provide interactive visualization features that enable users to explore complex datasets in a way that makes them easier to understand and interpret.


6. Web AR


Web AR is the next step of augmented reality (AR) technology. Web AR allows users to interact with 3D objects in the real-world environment, which provides a more realistic experience than regular AR apps. This type of web design will be used in many industries including:


●     Apparel - How would you like to try on a pair of shoes before buying them? Well now you can! With Web AR and VR, users can see how their clothes fit on different sized models and even try on clothes that aren't available where they live by taking photos of their body using their phone's camera.
●     Furniture - Do you have trouble deciding whether or not furniture will fit into your living room before purchasing it? With this new technology, shoppers can visualize how large pieces would look by placing them inside their home before making any purchases.


7. Blockchain Technology


Blockchain technology is a distributed ledger technology that allows data to be stored and shared across a network of users. It can be used for anything from cryptocurrency to medical records. Blockchain allows for the creation and transfer of digital assets without a central authority, which makes it especially useful for peer-to-peer transactions involving cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.


Blockchain has been around since 2008, but it's only recently been adopted by big companies like Amazon (they're using blockchain to power their Prime Video service), Google (they're using blockchain to track ad performance), Facebook (they're working on incorporating blockchain into their WhatsApp messaging platform) and Microsoft (they're building an Ethereum-based decentralized identity system).


Final thoughts


One thing is common among all these trends, they are already changing user behavior and need businesses to adapt to the changes. These trends will become even more significant throughout the upcoming years. You just have to stay abreast of the changes in order to make sure your business is on trend and at ease with the new tech out there.
