Every year, the definition for ‘quality’ in web development undergoes transformation. Websites gain in functionality richness, engagement potential, and dynamism (i.e. vibrancy). As everything moves forward towards its more evolved form, the requirement for optimised user-friendliness remains a constant.

Over the last decade, Speedflow Bulgaria has occupied a front seat in web development. We have had the chance to witness, evaluate and integrate many of the emerging’new’ tricks into our work process. We have recognized that the needed knowledge and skills for quality web development piles up alongside emerging innovations each year. This is why we stay on top of the latest in web development.

This article will pinpoint 6 web development trends that are expected to preside over 2020.

 

1. Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)

With visits from mobile devices surpassing those from desktop computers, the mobile-first approach is expected to plant firm roots in the web development process during 2020. We expect developers to put a strong emphasis on websites that support AMP. This also means that there has to be a transition from mobile websites to those with AMP. The differences between the two are minor, but, nonetheless, AMP is considered the better option as it helps sites load faster. In addition, Google boosts sites that support AMP.

 

2. Artificial Intelligence

AI is among our most-liked topics to talk about. Science fiction has contributed a lot to the topic and yet the divide between the most advanced of the AI concepts that are described by it and reality is still, well, bridgeless. Yet, we are not that far from what was once imagined. Times are as exciting as ever, perhaps even more so, technology-wise.

 

 

AI in web development raises similar questions to the ones normally revolving around it. Will it take jobs away from humans? Will it somehow cause a shift in the web development profession that we need to adapt to?

The consensus is no. AI is getting steadily integrated into web development, mostly as a way to spike websites’ productivity and efficiency, rather than take jobs away from humans. Examples of AI use in web development: chatbots, analysis of visitors, recommendation systems, and so on.

 

3. Single Page Application (SPA)

Single-page applications are web applications that have been responsible for website visitors’ smooth user experience process, mostly through economy of data transmission. Essentially what they do is they aid the users in their navigational efforts and provide them with the desired content without loading the whole page from the server after each action. This significantly improves the loading time of the page and minimizes interruption to the users’ website experience. We expect SPAs to continue to dominate web development in 2019 and to see them evolve, particularly in providing a smoother solution to overloading of JavaScript size.

 

4. Modular development

 

 

Efficiency is important in web development. The less time and money is spent on a project—the more everybody involved is pleased with the result. This is why modular web development will take precedence in 2020. Modular development is simply a web-development method of building a website from already configured components. This is why it is a faster way of creating websites. The difficulty with modular development, however, is presented by how separate modules fit among themselves and how that affects design. When the right balance is struck, web developers can produce stunning websites in minimum time.

 

5. Motion UI

Design is one of the most important aspects of a successful website. Motion in a site is used to ease user experience and affirm selected brand characteristics. In 2020, motion UI is expected to gain traction. Through Motion UI, web developers will be looking to find new creative ways to tell stories. And that’s something we encourage and adopt in our work too.

 

6. WebAssembly

WebAssembly, also called Wasm, is a binary format for a stack-based virtual machine. It is a relatively new language in the web development world, first appearing in 2017. It is the fourth language that can run natively in browsers, alongside Javascript, HTML, and CSS.

Wasm’s characteristics have led many to believe that it is better than Javascript and will replace it completely in the future. The verdict is still out on this one, but, by the look of it, it will be used more and more by web developers throughout 2020.

With plenty of choices for web development available around, how can you be sure which company is the right one?

Giving every existing — or at least high-ranked — provider a ‘go’ is bound to be a losing strategy if you are hard-pressed by time or budget.

There’s always an element of risk involved when selecting a web development company – mostly because you don’t know how they work and whether you would ‘click’ with them.

Many who seek this service fall into the trap of delegating projects to providers that are good in several niches of the web development process but lack adroitness in others. As a result, they approach their projects in a fragmented way, which adds up to the creation of products, which lack a vital part for achieving the real-world goals that matter.

The best provider looks at the web development process holistically, applying multiple levels of expertise in each of the stages without losing touch with the nature and scope of the initial goals.

For clients looking to receive a website that is a natural extension to their offline business or for online start-ups, hiring a company that knows the nuts and bolts of business is perhaps the best option. A nose for how business works may be needed, a little bit, as it allows such providers to penetrate past your immediate online goals, align the whole web-development effort with what matters and to offer an even better way forward via a stellar product. Let’s call it free marketing.

Companies that employ developers, designers and managers who execute their delegated tasks with a clear image of the client’s bigger business target churn out better results and feedback, unsurprisingly.

The market is oversaturated with web development companies who are quick to complete a project without first dissembling clients’ offline targets to get a more detailed bigger picture. This, in the least, creates chaos, where the link between client and company is often severed, serving in the achievement of mediocre results at best!

In truth, only effort exceeding the expectations for each step can guarantee success.

It’s not a question of some kind of defected perfectionism but about coming up with a self-sufficient product that spawns new opportunities for growth.

 

Exceeding your expectations

One of Speedflow’s biggest advantages is its extensive business experience, backed by success in many sectors, including telecommunications, IT, publishing and others.

It employs people, who often opt to venture into territory beyond their specialty. This is especially useful in the business sphere – but not only – where being able to think on your feet in unfamiliar situations is a winning formula.

For you, the client, this means that you will work with a web development provider who understands your goals from the inside out and, who will pivot the whole work around them to create a product that exceeds your expectations.

While the rest of the team is engaged with your project, you will be treated to regular meetings – in a cosy office or over a live video conference – to smooth out the details that complete your vision.

Two new companies have gone under the knife of Speedflow Bulgaria’s web development team—Bulgarian building company S.E. Stroy and the Association for Breeding Lacaune Sheep in Bulgaria.

S.E. Stroy provides specialized services in project planning, construction and maintenance of electrical, water and sanitation installations for residential, public and industrial facilities. Fire alarm systems, smart homes, thermal imaging for tracing water damage and leak detection are just a few of the services that the company has provided to dozens of satisfied customers.

They approached us with a request for us to rejuvenate and optimize their old website to improve their search engine ranking and refresh their online presence. With this in mind, our programmers integrated new graphic elements into the existing database and optimized the content and code. The job took about a week.

We are glad to have been able to provide online solutions to the Association for Breeding Lacaune Sheep in Bulgaria. Established in 2014, the organization is responsible for monitoring, protecting and developing the processes related to breeding Lacaune sheep on the territory of Bulgaria.

The Association needed a website that accurately provides detailed information about their activities to their shareholders and the general public. Following several weeks of hard work, we erected an informative, up-to-date WordPress site that ticks all the boxes of the client.

Here are a few aspects of web development we touched upon with these two projects:

· Custom programming
· Web design
· Content optimization
· Code optimization

If you have a web developments project, Speedflow Bulgaria has a highly qualified team of talented developers that are ready to undertake it for you. We tackle projects of any size – from the ground up to minor tweaks and optimisation.
