Progressive Web Applications (PWAs)

PWAs are websites that look and feel like native mobile apps, but can be used through web browsers. It offers some of the same benefits as native apps; like push notifications and offline functionality. A big advantage of PWAs is that they can be built and maintained easier in comparison to mobile apps.

Design trends

Web accessibility

With the growing emphasis on inclusive design, web accessibility will become increasingly important in 2023. This means making sure that web pages are usable by everyone, including people with disabilities.

Web animations

Web animations will continue to play a big role in the front-end development, and will be used to create engaging and interactive user interfaces.

Design systems

With the need for consistent and scalable design, more companies will start to adopt design systems. A design system is a collection of reusable components and guidelines that can be used across different platforms and touchpoints.
