Few technological developments have garnered as much media attention as AI, and for good reason: Few nascent technologies have disrupted as many industries and commanded as much consumer attention as AI has. Despite the fact that AI is drastically upending many predictions about what the future of business looks like, however, too little attention is being paid to the way that it’s radically reshaping web development as we know it.

Savvy web developers around the world are already rushing to embrace the power of AI. Here’s how AI and the offshoot innovations it’s enabling are reshaping web development and giving developers everywhere hope about the future of tech.

Talented developers have understood for years now that in order to consistently lure new users in, you need to engage them and provide them with enticing, interactive web design that reacts to their choices. Now, with a helping hand from some AI companions, developers everywhere are realizing that they can cultivate a new kind of user experience that exploits the power of machine learning (ML) to dynamically adapt more quickly than ever before.

We aren’t quite yet at the point where we can delegate everything to the machines, but anybody involved in web development over the past few years can tell you that ML is rapidly breaking onto the scene and isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. The exciting promise of ML as it pertains to web design will only grow in the near-future, too, especially as investment dollars continue to flood in from around the world.

Social Media Marketing

We know social media has surpassed all forms of media in terms of readership, thanks to Millennials — who grew up as the internet was being introduced; Gen Z — who were handed the digital world on a platter and Gen X and Baby Boomers — who had to follow suit because it overtook the work space and well, transformed the way we look at entertainment and shopping.

According to a 2017 survey conducted by Clutch, “The most valuable social media platforms for businesses are Facebook (89 percent), LinkedIn (83 percent), YouTube (81 percent), and Twitter (80 percent).” Another report found, Instagram with 32 percent comes second to Facebook at 79 percent of American internet users on the site; Pinterest comes in a close third with 31 percent, and LinkedIn and Twitter at 29 percent and 24 percent, respectively. On any given day, Snapchat reaches 41 percent of 18 to 34-year-olds in the US.

It’s time to capitalize on this growing trend if you haven’t already. But how?

Watch what thought leaders are doing. Don’t shy away from trying something new and abstract to stand out, get creative with the many resources available and dare to think out of the box.

Let’s look at three social media campaigns that caused quite the stir on social media.

Top 3 Social Media Campaigns to Inspire

Website Content, Website Design Practices

Today, every business or individual is making a shift to the online world with a website or web app. As per the 2018 Web Server survey by Netcraft, the internet has more than 200 million active websites. The total number of websites is around ten times more than the active ones. Further, the report reveals that more than 200 new websites are launched every minute today.

The rapid rise in the number of websites brings a lot of new resources to users, but it also increases competition and the need for new skills for web developers.

The world of web development experiences demand constant transformation every year, whether it is related to tools, services, coding, languages, or designs. And with every year, new trends and technologies emerge out to evolve the way developers work. While one year is dominated by static websites, the next by mobile responsiveness, then another by chatbots.

Web development trends in 2019
To make the best out of web development and stand apart from the competition, developers will need to keep track of these web development trends in 2019 and use the same into their work.

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI is one of the hottest technology today and is used as a core component in most of the digital transformation strategies. More and more enterprises are implementing AI to automate business processes, reduce costs and accelerate time to market.

As per the leading analyst firm Gartner, the business value from AI will reach $1.2 trillion in 2018, up 70 per cent from 2017. Further, it is predicted that AI-derived business value will total $3.9 trillion by 2022.

In 2019, the role of AI will increase significantly in web development arena like never before. Companies will leverage the power of AI in web development to improve productivity and customer satisfaction.

14 Social Media Trends That Every Marketer Should Know About In 2019

Social Media Marketing

Social media is no longer just a trendy marketing tactic—it’s a crucial one. Today’s consumers turn to social media to find brands they can trust, looking for user testimonials, examples of exceptional customer service and more.

To meet these evolving demands, your company must maintain an engaging social media presence that offers customers the brand experience they expect. We asked a panel of Forbes Communications Council members which social media trends marketers should prepare for this year. Here’s what they had to say.

1. An Increased Demand For Truly ‘Social’ Engagement

People want to do business with companies they know, trust and love. A company that simply uses social media as a medium for advertising is losing out on the most important piece: the “social” aspect, where you have the opportunity to build those all-important connections. In 2019, those companies that engage with their audience will be the ones that win. – Holly Chessman, GlowTouch Technologies

2. A Fading Facebook

Data shows Facebook usage and engagement has dropped significantly: According to the Pew Research Center, 42% of users have taken a break from the site in the past year, and 26% have deleted the app from their phones. This doesn’t mean it’s a dead channel, but it does mean we need to explore alternatives and, if continuing to market via Facebook, need to advertise less and engage more with users to help our brand stand apart from the noise. – Lisa Guyott, College Possible

WEB DEVELOPMENT: WHAT’S BIG IN 2019?

tot1
Website Content, Website Design Practices

A technology or framework doesn’t have to be brand new to be on our list here, it just needs to be growing rapidly or evolving in an interesting way. Let’s take a look!

LOOKING BACK ON 2018: SPA,  CSS GRID, AND SPEED

Single Page Applications (SPAs) saw a leap in popularity in 2018. A simple concept made possible by the power of modern Javascript, a SPA loads a page once then never reloads it or navigates to another page; instead, Javascript is used to manipulate the DOM and render new layouts in the browser. JSON data can be sent between the client and server, but the page behaves more like a desktop application than a “conventional” website. (Visit the websites of Gmail, Facebook, Apple and many more to see a SPA in action). It can provide a much snappier experience to the user and really transform the responsiveness of a site, but usually requires a sizeable chunk of code shipped to the browser. It’s an idea that’s been popular for a while but really saw a lot of developer engagement last year.

What Are The Best Times To Post On Social Media? (These “Heat Maps” Have The Answers)

Social Media Marketing

Every company marketer posting on social media is curious about the best times to post their content. While each audience is unique, having a rule of thumb can be extremely helpful when you’re first starting out. Sprout Social recently published the results of their “Best Times to Post on Social Media: 2018 Industry Research”, a report which includes preferred time slots for the big 4 — Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Unlike other reports I’ve seen on this topic, which often recommend a single time or small window, Sprout has detailed “heat maps” for each channel. I reached out to Rachael Samuels, Social Media Manager at Sprout Social, to find out more about the report and the research behind their findings.

Harrison: Other companies have looked into the best times to post on social. What did your data science team do differently?

Samuels: Sprout Social’s data science team constructed a more targeted approach that takes into account interactions with 935 million messages across 420,000 social profiles connected to Sprout. The data that our team uncovered not only provides specific days and times for the most engagement on social for each platform, but offers similar data for specific industries, including tech, CPG, and healthcare, among others. Using this data as a guide empowers marketers with the best opportunities to maximize personalized consumer engagement.
