Top Trends in Responsive Web Design for 2018

• Today, theres no shortage of technological
  marvels. It seems that each year features
  technological advancements that are better than
  the last. This is especially true when it comes
  to web technology. Advanced web technology is
  essential for building high-quality websites
  and/or applications and amazing user experience
  (UX).

• As each year gets better than the last, the
  year 2018 is shaping up to be one that takes web
  technology to new heights. It will be all about
  creating a rich user experience with sleek,
  simple designs and showcasing trending
  technologies, such as voice user interfaces,
  machine learning and virtual reality. Below are
  four trends in web responsive design that are
  making websites and apps seamless.

The Popular Internet of Things (IoT)

• Basically, the Internet of Things uses smart
  technology to connect smart-enabled devices to
  the internet. In 2018, web developers will be
  using this technology to make websites more
  interactive and more connected.

5

• For example, IoT interfaces will be
  integrated into web design to allow users to
  interact with smart devices. However, web
  developers and business owners must keep things
  small and prevent complex backends by creating
  simple IoT interfaces.

6
Growing Flat Design

• In 2017, flat design was perhaps the most
  popular type of web design. Its used to create
  mobile-forward websites that are clean, simple,
  fast and optimised for mobile performance. The
  simple designs allow web pages to load quickly on
  both computers and mobile devices. However, flat
  design still allows developers to create
  engaging, SEO (search engine optimised)-friendly
  websites.

7

• It does this by decluttering (getting rid of
  all the unnecessary images) and using bright
  colours, space, simple imagery and sharp edges to
  create attention-grabbing designs. Additionally,
  decluttering allows websites to lose their extra
  data, which leads to faster optimisation and page
  response time. A site that loads faster will rank
  higher on search engines. This is making flat
  design a popular choice for business owners as
  well.

Perfecting Machine Learning,Chatbots and
Artificial Intelligence (AI)

• For the year 2018, many companies will be
  looking to further perfect the technologies of
  machine learning, chatbots and AI. In the past,
  bot technology was a nuisance that slowed down
  simple tasks, but 2017 turned that around. Now,
  its a leading technology thats being developed
  and used on social media websites.

9

• However, in 2018, these technologies will be
  developed further so that they can be implemented
  into other types of websites. This means that
  when machine learning technology is integrated
  into web design, websites will have the ability
  to present customers with services or products
  that match their past interactions.

10

• In 2018, more and more websites will also be
  using voice user interface or natural language
  processing. Basically, its interacting with a
  device by speaking to it. Examples of this
  technology include Siri and Cortana. If this
  technology is combined with machine learning and
  placed on a website, itll have the ability to
  predict a users needs.

11

• So, users wont have to browse web pages to
  find products or services, meaning web
  interactions will be even faster and easier.
  Perfected AI, machine learning and chatbots will
  also make customer service faster and more
  efficient. However, to get the most out of this
  technology youll need a top web design company
  like SOS Media Corp.

The Simplicity of Expressive Typography

• Websites are getting simpler, but typography
  or fonts are getting fancier. In fact, typography
  is becoming the web designers way of showing
  creativity and personality. It allows them to
  create eye-catching designs without cluttering up
  their clients websites with high-resolution
  pictures.

13

• Fancy typography can do the same job as
  pictures without slowing websites down. Some of
  the most popular fonts that will continue to be
  trendy in 2018, include slab, Gothic, modern
  sans-serifand script. But, companies can create
  their own font thats exclusive to their brand.
  For example, AirBnB uses its own special font and
  colours that cant be replicated by any other
  company.
