communication between the clients and the businesses. They keep your client
base connected to the brand they are keen for.
3. Single-page Applications
A lot of worldwide known companies as Uber, Facebook and
Google have already started using single-page applications. A SPA or a
single-page application is an app that works inside a browser and does not
require page reloading while being used. One of the main advantages of
single-page applications is their UX which provides the user with a maximally
natural environment. Unlike in case with traditional web apps, there is no need
to wait for the page reload as SPA loads a page only at the first request. The
content changes but the page remains the same. It allows a user to enjoy easy
and uninterrupted scrolling. Single page applications can also effectively
cache any local data, therefore they are more convenient if a user has poor
internet connection — the data gets synchronized with the server as soon as the
internet appears. The top-rated SPA frameworks are React.js, Angular.js,
Vue.js, Meteor, and Backbone.js.
4. Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT has become one of the most revolutionary technologies in
the world that have impacted almost every business domain in the world. It has
been adopted by varied businesses to use for various purposes from business
automation to healthcare tracking devices. Nowadays companies and organizations
are utilizing IoT-enabled web development solutions to improve their website
processes.
5. Dark Mode
Websites with dark mode and low light user experience have
been a trend for the last couple of years. This trend will continue to dominate
in 2021 as well. Dark modes look great even when the visitors are browsing it
in daylight.
