Does your business have an eCommerce application or website? If yes, keeping the site aligned with the trends is important. Well, we are not talking about just the market trends but web development trends as well to ensure the utmost user experience and smooth functionality.

In 2023, while there were various web development tools, like PWAs and serverless architecture, evolving rapidly, 2024 has brought more advanced technologies like AI Chatbots and a lot of trends that will help your eCommerce site stay ahead of the curve. Let’s have a look.

Web Development Trends to Embrace in 2024 for Website or Applications

Whether it’s your business website or eCommerce application, it’s important to provide your customers with a top-notch and seamless experience, so they stay longer on the site and visit again. Here’s where the latest web development technologies come in to enhance this experience by adding functionality and features to the application or website. Here are the trends to follow:

AI developer tools

This one is one of the latest trends considered to be implemented into applications and websites as a core key of functionality. Raycast (Launcher) and Cursor (IDE) are the most preferred AI developer tools to incorporate into day-to-day workflow to ensure performing more effectively and efficiently, such as code debugging or writing codes with detailed suggestions.

Engaging UX and animated UI

Whether it is an eCommerce application or a business website, having an engaging interface is important to keep site visitors engaged for longer. According to a recent report, the span of human attention has been dropping by around 25% on average (8.25 seconds) during the years 2000 to 2015. That’s why it’s a great idea to implement animated UI and engaging UX trends on websites and applications to ensure smooth transitions while adding jaw-dropping 3D elements and animations to keep customers captivated.

AI functionality integration

With the emergence of ChatGPT, marketing teams have found it more handy when it comes to creating content for images and ad copy on websites. It just hasn’t made things easier to access new ideas but fosters productivity as well. So, no wonder integrating AI functionality into applications is on trend, such as custom AI-powered chatbots for customer assistance instead of conventional support portals.

Dark mode

Well, it’s not just 2024, dark mode has always been the trend among web developers. Recently, dark mode designs have an increasing demand even among non-developer audiences. That’s why implementing this dark mode trend into your existing applications or websites can gain the attention of more visitors.

Serverless Architectures

According to cloud service providers, the demand for cloud architecture adoption and serverless services is rapidly increasing as both eliminate the headaches of running backend services and managing the servers manually. In fact, incorporating serverless architecture into business has made backend functionality easier to access via meta-frameworks, such as Next.js, whether to manage API calls, authentication, or authorization.

Headless CMS

With an increasing demand for a visual editing experience, Headless CMS has been on trend since last year compared to conventional CMS like WordPress. Yet, integrating it into the framework of any application or website or with other tools can amazingly improve user experience.

API-first development

While Headless CMS, Serverless Architecture, and Jamstack are trending, the growing demand for API-first development shouldn’t be left unnoticed. Leveraging this development technology allows developers to create bespoke web applications through a series of tool integrations. As a result, you can improve your customer experience on your website or application, whether it be on a smartphone or desktop.
