Chatbot Assistance and AI (Artificial Intelligence)

Chatbots really make things simple for e-commerce developers by ensuring they develop interactive online store with amazingly supportive and quick online assistance to keep the customer coming back frequently. It allows customers to quickly order tickets, food, and more with one simple click.

2) Motion UI

This is one of the most promising web application development trends in 2018. The whole idea of Motion UI is to help developers ensure they design a website with a minimalistic approach and moderate design to let not users get tired with excessive GIFs and flashing content. It is poised to become popular very soon where animations will allow web developers to include styling for development of a unique website with static UI and make it stand out from others.

3) Blockchain

This is the key player in ensuring the most secure method of collective data storage. There are an innumerable number of computers in the world with a huge set of information stored on them and this data is decentralized. Blockchain will provide a high level of security in this scenario. The main benefit will be that there will be no intermediaries between the transactions. Every transaction will be verified and will rely upon complex and robust algorithms in spite of a huge number of computers being a part of the process.

The potential of blockchain is realised by multiple multinational banks as they are very positive  about using blockchain technology in their systems to ensure full security of their data

Snapchat has also opted for an AR feature that will allow users to include their Bitmoji and project it simply with their phone’s camera.

5) Single-Page Websites

Single page website tends to be long and smoothly scroll able page where users simply scroll down to gather the required information without any need to visit any other page. In this manner, it saves users from being trapped into complex navigation or multi-level menus. I agree that these are not useful for e-commerce yet they are highly useful for mobile websites. Among the multiple business benefits, one is cost cutting in website designing, hosting and development. These type of websites tend to bring more conversions.

6) Push Notifications for Websites

An awesome trend for e-commerce web application developers, which is inline to appear in 2018. The motive of push notifications for websites to increase the existing efficiency with re-engaging the user which will eventually benefit the business in long run.
