Did you know that there are over 1.74 billion websites currently in the digital world?
So, if you want your website to stand out, you need to think differently and create innovative websites!
Before you put on your thinking hats and try to develop a website, it is recommended that you take a look at the current trends!
Here are the web development trends for 2021:
-
Minimalistic Web Designs
Internet browsers no longer prefer long and extensive web structures. It is single-page websites that web visitors want now! Simply because they load quickly, they work well on all devices, etc.
As far as developers are concerned, single-page websites are economical to develop and host. Businesses can reach their target audience with minimal content.
The onus is on the developers to create simple websites that convey everything about the brand with minimalistic designs.
-
Secure Websites
Data reveals that nearly 50000 websites get hacked every day. With growing cyber threats, building secure websites will be mandatory in 2021.
To ensure website security, developers will need to use the HTTPS protocol on websites. Besides, measures such as updating the software will need to be taken to avoid data breaches.
-
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is expected to transform web development soon. This is because of the multiple benefits it offers. For instance, cloud computing restricts data loss and data overload besides other benefits.
Hence, web developers need to upgrade themselves on Google Cloud Functions, Azure Functions, AWS Lambda, among others.
-
Night Themed User Interfaces
The latest trend in designing user interfaces is dark-colored or night themes.
Dark themes offer the following benefits:- They are less strenuous for the eyes.
- It is easier to read light-colored content on a dark background.
- Battery life increases because black pixels use lower device energy.
- Also, dark colors make the website look more elegant.
It is because of these reasons that web developers are using more dark-colored themes to create websites.

Progressive Web Apps will be Popular
Progressive web apps or PWA are websites that behave like native mobile apps. PWAs have become extremely popular in the last few years and are expected to take center stage in web development in 2021. This is because they offer the users an app-like experience on all devices. The most exciting feature about PWAs is that they work offline as well! They load quickly as well!
-
Chatbots
Chatbots enhance customer experience and engage the audience. The current trends indicate that AI-powered chatbots will no longer be an option but a must for websites of the future.
Chatbots are especially helpful to the website audience in the service sector. Healthcare, travel industry, etc. are some that are benefitting by using chatbots on their sites.

Frameworks
In 2021 web development will be dominated by Angular JS, Node JS, etc. However, as technology advances, we might see newer frameworks coming into play.
