Experience the New Era of Custom Software Development
Posted by PriyankPanchal on May 4th, 2015
Tech trends change rapidly, and businesses must learn how to cope. Otherwise they will be left in the mud by competitors who are always up to date with the new things the digital world has to offer. With people's rising dependence on the web, businesses should all the more be on the lookout for new trends in web and software development. Just as new technologies are advancing, your approaches to software development should also be moving in the same direction as the evolving demands of your increasingly tech-savvy consumers. Here are some top development trends to keep an eye on, if you wish to be at par with your competitors:
• Responsive websites–With users growing more impatient by the minute, it is important to combat their loss of interest by making sure they never have to wait long to get what they need. Software development nowadays are leaning toward more responsive as well as mobile-friendly designs, which provide users the immediacy that they demand and allow them convenient access via devices that they always carry around. With mobile internet usage growing at exponential rates, it is imperative for businesses to employ mobile-optimised websites to help combat user impatience and make sure customers have what they need right at their fingertips in an instant. Web development agencies today do away with hefty scripts and heavyweight design elements just to support complex functionalities. Choose a developer that can provide you with solutions that will help you create websites and applications that your target users will want to use.
• Single-page applications – In relation to consumers' lack of patience and increasing the need for instant gratification, they also have shorter attention spans, which call for designs that will help keep them engaged and less distracted. In the age of multi-tasking devices, omnipresent social platforms, and all kinds of online distractions, the few seconds that it takes for users to move on to another page in your website can means a great opportunity to flick over other windows to check social media, browse other sites, and potentially forget what they were doing on your site in the first place. This is why it is very important to minimise delay by using single-page applications that provide a fluid, instant experience where everything can load once, or at least manage their experience in a more engaging manner.
• Cloud computing – Another development trend to watch out for is cloud computing, especially with the constant rise in mobile device growth. Cloud computing applications are ideal because they can be made available to any device and operating system.
