The Web Continues to Evolve
Web development moves fast. Staying current ensures your digital presence remains competitive.
AI-Powered Development
GitHub Copilot and similar tools accelerate coding. AI generates boilerplate code. Automated testing catches bugs. Natural language interfaces create simple applications.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
PWAs offer native-app experience in browsers. Work offline. Send push notifications. Install on home screens. Cost less than native development.
Edge Computing
Processing moves closer to users. Reduced latency improves experience. Serverless at the edge scales automatically. CDNs become application platforms.
WebAssembly
Near-native performance in browsers. Complex applications run smoothly. Gaming, video editing, and CAD in browser. Language flexibility for developers.
Micro Frontends
Independent deployable frontend components. Teams work autonomously. Technology diversity per component. Gradual migration strategies.
Headless CMS
Content management decoupled from presentation. API-first content delivery. Multi-channel publishing. Frontend technology flexibility.
Accessibility First
WCAG compliance is mandatory, not optional. Legal requirements increasing. Broader audience reach. Better SEO as side benefit.
Core Web Vitals
Google measures real user experience. Largest Contentful Paint measures loading. First Input Delay tracks interactivity. Cumulative Layout Shift quantifies stability.
Sustainability
Green web hosting gains traction. Efficient code reduces energy use. Carbon-aware development practices emerge. Sustainability becomes selection criteria.
