Responsive designs will become more popular

The sale of smartphones is increasing dramatically every year. There is no reason why it will not grow in 2016 as well. With more and more people now using their smart mobile phones to access internet, it is important for the web developers and designers to provide seamless experience. Therefore, mobile responsive web designs will definitely get trendier this year. The idea is to create a website that performs equally well on the desktop as well as mobile phone without losing any of its user friendliness or functionalities. The advanced tools used for responsive web designs will make sure that this becomes possible.

IoT or Internet of Things will Dictate the Terms

There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that the Internet of Things has revolutionized the app and web development industry. As per the reports, the Internet of Things or IoT will grow by nearly 32% in this year. IoT has taken the data exchange between numerous devices and gadgets to the whole new level. Since increasing number of devices are now getting hooked to the network and accessible remotely, the web developers will certainly come up with the enhanced solutions so that it becomes easier for the users to communicate and control their everyday appliances and gadgets with one app.

Full-screen navigation

It looks like that full screen navigation will become an integral part of web development in 2016. Full-screen navigation allows the users the ease of access. Let’s say a user is accessing a website on his mobile phone on which he needs to fill a form. Filling the form within the browser could be a little difficult. The full-screen feature will allow him to pop the form out of the browser and occupy the entire screen. This will make text more legible and typing more convenient.
