Dubai IT companies are competing with each other for implementing digital transformation strategies, the role of artificial intelligence will grow even more prominent in web developments than ever before.

However, it becomes a challenging job for web development companies because the traditional approaches in web development are not the answer to this. By automating web development process, web developers Dubai need to put less attention to basic hefty tasks and focus on the value-adding aspects such as conspiring super user experience, formulating design strategy and other activities.

Inter-networking of IoT backed smart devices will play a key role in taking web development services to the whole new generation of the web services.

Each person with a smartphone experienced the IOT (internet of things) at some point. Soon, businesses would be seen using a combination of wireless and sensor technologies for tracking the buying behavior of the customers. On the one hand, customers would use the internet of things technologies to avail of customized or personalized web development services.

These days, many web development companies do not know what to start with since the internet of things is quite extensive.

As per the Statista survey, there will be 31 billion connected devices by 2020. This enormous numbers of IoT devices will also impact the web development process as enterprises tend to control these devices through a desktop or laptop. Though today only a few websites have an IoT integration, it is fair to mention that the concept will remain in focus soon as the number of connected devices will increase gradually and will also give a new dimension to web development services too.

4. Single Page Applications (SPAs)

A single-page application (SPA) is a web application or website that interacts with the user by dynamically rewriting the current page rather than loading entire new pages from a server. This approach avoids interruption of the user experience between successive pages, making the application behave more like a desktop application.

In a SPA, either all necessary code HTML, JavaScript, and CSS is retrieved with a single page load, or the appropriate resources are dynamically loaded and added to the page as necessary, usually in response to user actions.
